The purpose of this paper is to survey the structure of closed and transitive transformation groups acting on a closed surface. In particular, we prove a number of relations between groups acting on the sphere that contain the rotation…
Let $\Sigma$ be a smooth compact connected oriented surface with boundary. A metric on $\Sigma$ is said to be of Anosov type if it has strictly convex boundary, no conjugate points, and a hyperbolic trapped set. We prove that two metrics of…
We study the rigidity of polyhedral surfaces using variational principle. The action functionals are derived from the cosine laws. The main focus of this paper is on the cosine law for a non-triangular region bounded by three possibly…
We study the arc complex of a surface with marked points in the interior and on the boundary. We prove that the isomorphism type of the arc complex determines the topology of the underlying surface, and that in all but a few cases every…
In this paper we give a geometric argument for bounding the diameter of a connected compact surface (with boundary) of arbitrary codimension in Euclidean space in terms of Topping's diameter bound for closed surfaces (without boundary). The…
In this paper we propose two guiding principles that suggest a number of conjectures (some now proved) about various forms of rigidity for moduli spaces arising in algebraic geometry. Such conjectures have group-theoretic, topological and…
We introduce a notion of relative isospectrality for surfaces with boundary having possibly non-compact ends either conformally compact or asymptotic to cusps. We obtain a compactness result for such families via a conformal surgery that…
Conformal nets provide a mathematical formalism for conformal field theory. Associated to a conformal net with finite index, we give a construction of the `bundle of conformal blocks', a representation of the mapping class groupoid of…
In this paper, we prove two main theorems: conformal measure rigidity and ergodicity of horospherical foliations, especially in higher rank. Both theorems are new even for relatively Anosov groups. First, we establish a higher rank…
The subject of this paper is the problem of arrangement of a real nonsingular algebraic curve on a real non-singular algebraic surface. This paper contains new restrictions on this arrangement extending Rokhlin and Kharlamov-Gudkov-Krakhnov…
In this note we propose a min-max theory for embedded hypersurfaces with a fixed boundary and apply it to prove several theorems about the existence of embedded minimal hypersurfaces with a given boundary. A simpler variant of these…
In this work we investigate Gromov-Hausdorff limits of compact surfaces carrying length metrics. More precisely, we consider the case where all surfaces have the same Euler characteristic. We give a complete description of the limit spaces…
We study the regularity of the "free surface" in boundary obstacle problems. We show that near a non-degenerate point the free boundary is a $C^{1,\alpha}$ $(n-2)$-dimensional surface in $\real^{n-1}$.
We study the normalizations of non-normal stable families of slc surfaces over an excellent DVR. In mixed characteristic, we establish a gluing statement that is relevant for the properness of the moduli space of such surfaces. We also…
When a fluid surface adheres to a substrate, the location of the contact line adjusts in order to minimize the overall energy. This adhesion balance implies boundary conditions which depend on the characteristic surface deformation…
In this paper, maximum principles for Euclidean and hyperbolic discrete conformal structures on polyhedral surfaces are established. These maximum principles unify and generalize the maximum principles for vertex scalings and different…

In this article we study fine regularity properties for mappings of finite distortion. Our main theorems yield strongly localized regularity results in the borderline case in the class of maps of exponentially integrable distortion.…
In the current relativistic literature there are misleading considerations about some singular surfaces. An accurate geometric analysis allows to settle the question. No physical meaning is attributable to the spatial regions surrounded by…
Inspired by a construction by Arnaud Beauville of a surface of general type with $K^2 = 8, p_g =0$, the second author defined the Beauville surfaces as the surfaces which are rigid, i.e., they have no nontrivial deformation, and admit un…
