We prove the existence of homeomorphisms of a closed, orientable surface of genus 3 or greater that do not extend to any handlebody bounded by the surface. We show that such homeomorphisms exist arbitrarily deep in the Johnson filtration of…
We show that any infinite-type surface without planar ends admits arbitrarily large families of length isospectral hyperbolic structures. If the surface has infinite genus and its space of ends is self-similar, we construct an uncountable…
It is known that the canonical double cover of any connected nonbipartite graph have an automorphism group of the form $H \rtimes \mathbb{Z}_2$, where $H$ is the set of automorphism which preserve bipartite parts. We construct connected…
We develop a theory of holomorphic differentials on a certain class of non-compact Riemann surfaces obtained by opening infinitely many nodes.
We consider closed topological 4-manifolds $M$ with universal cover ${S^2\times{S^2}}$ and Euler characteristic $\chi(M) = 1$. All such manifolds with $\pi=\pi_1(M)\cong {\mathbb Z}/4$ are homotopy equivalent. In this case, we show that…
It is an open problem to provide a characterization of quasiconformally homogeneous Riemann surfaces. We show that given the current literature, this problem can be broken into four open cases with respect to the topology of the underlying…
In this paper we study principally polarized complex abelian varieties that admit an automorphism of order 3. It turns out that certain natural conditions on the multiplicities of its action on the differentials of the first kind do…
Given a minimal surface equipped with a generically finite map to an Abelian variety, we give an optimal bound on the canonical degree of a rational or an elliptic curve. As a corollary, we obtain the finiteness of rational and elliptic…
We study finite order invariants of null-homotopic immersions of a closed orientable surface into an aspherical orientable 3-manifold. We give the foundational constructions, and classify all order one invariants.
We study automorphism groups of fibered surfaces for finite cyclic covering fibrations of an elliptic surface. We estimate the order of a finite subgroup of automorphism groups in terms of the genus of the fiber, the genus of the base…
We show that, for a closed non-orientable surface $F$, an automorphism of $H_1(F,\Z)$ is induced by a homeomorphism of $F$ if and only if it preserves the (mod 2) intersection pairing. We shall also prove the corresponding result for…
We classify all the surfaces of general type whose canonical map is composed with a pencil if they are the quotient of the diagonal action by an Abelian group acting over the product of two curves. As far as we know all the previous…
We show that the closure of the compactly supported mapping class group of an infinite type surface is not perfect and that its abelianization contains a direct summand isomorphic to an uncountable direct sum of rationals. We also extend…
Given an oriented surface of positive genus with finitely many punctures, we classify the finite orbits of the mapping class group action on the moduli space of semisimple complex special linear two dimensional representations of the…
In this article, we consider surfaces in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space E3 without parabolic points which are of finite II-type, that is, they are of finite type, in the sense of B.-Y. Chen, corresponding to the second fundamental form.…
Trinomial hypersurfaces form a natural class of affine algebraic varieties closely connected with varieties admitting a torus action of complexity one. We investigate orbits of the automorphism group on these hypersurfaces. We prove that…
We study the behaviour of the topological fundamental group under totally ramified abelian covers (a special case of abelian Galois covers) of complex projective varieties of dimension at least 2.
On all compact complex surfaces (modulo finite unramified coverings), we classify all of the locally homogeneous geometric structures which are locally isomorphic to the exotic homogeneous surfaces of Lie.
We show that there are infinitely many homeomorphism types of atoroidal surface bundles over surfaces which have signature zero.
The present work deals with the canonical map of smooth, compact complex surfaces of general type in a polarization of type $(1,2,2)$ on an abelian threefold. A natural and classical question is whether the canonical system of such surfaces…
