Motivated by Felix Klein's notion that geometry is governed by its group of symmetry transformations, Charles Ehresmann initiated the study of geometric structures on topological spaces locally modeled on a homogeneous space of a Lie group.…

In this paper we examine different aspects of the geometry of closed conformal vector fields on Riemannian manifolds. We begin by getting obstructions to the existence of closed conformal and nonparallel vector fields on complete manifolds…

This paper is devoted to the study of the global properties of harmonically immersed Riemann surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3.$ We focus on the geometry of complete harmonic immersions with quasiconformal Gauss map, and in particular, of those…

We develop a global twistor correspondence for pseudo-Riemannian conformal structures of signature (++--) with self-dual Weyl curvature. Near the conformal class of the standard indefinite product metric on S^2 x S^2, there is an…

This is an expository survey with two goals. 1) The primary goal is to discuss and highlight the impact of two recent influential ideas in geometric group theory. The first of which is the notion of an injective metric space which is a rich…

This article provides a complete characterization of the conformal classes of product tori and standard flat tori in complex dimension 1 (real dimension 2). Utilizing basic differential geometry methods, our approach contrasts with…

We study the geometry of the morphism between moduli spaces of hypersurfaces in $\mathbb P^{n-1}$ that sends a smooth hypersurface of degree $d+1$ to its associated hypersurface of degree $n(d-1)$. As a result, we obtain a compactification…

We develop the notion of a geometric covering of a rigid space X, which yields a much larger class of covering spaces than that studied previously by de Jong. Geometric coverings of X are closed under disjoint unions and are \'etale local…

We construct algorithms and topological invariants that allow us to distinguish the topological type of a surface, as well as functions and vector fields for their topological equivalence. In the first part (arXiv:2501.15657), we discused…

The complex structure of a surface generated by the two-dimensional dynamical triangulation(DT) is determined by measuring the resistivity of the surface. It is found that surfaces coupled to matter fields have well-defined complex…

Hermitian bundle gerbes with connection are geometric objects for which a notion of surface holonomy can be defined for closed oriented surfaces. We systematically introduce bundle gerbes by closing the pre-stack of trivial bundle gerbes…

In the search for appropriate discretizations of surface theory it is crucial to preserve such fundamental properties of surfaces as their invariance with respect to transformation groups. We discuss discretizations based on M\"obius…

The combination of words ``discrete curvature'' is only an apparent contradiction. In this survey we describe curvature notions associated with polygons, polyhedral surfaces, and with abstract polyhedral manifolds. Several theorems about…
