It is well known that the collection of uniformizations of a closed Riemann surface $S$ is partially ordered; the lowest ones are the Schottky unformizations, that is, tuples $(\Omega,\Gamma,P:\Omega \to S)$, where $\Gamma$ is a Schottky…
We study a natural map from representations of a free group of rank g in GL(n,C), to holomorphic vector bundles of degree 0 over a compact Riemann surface X of genus g, associated with a Schottky uniformization of X. Maximally unstable flat…
We study the degeneration of hyperbolic surfaces along a ray given by the harmonic map parametrization of Teichm\"uller space. The direction of the ray is determined by a holomorphic quadratic differential on a punctured Riemann surface,…
A Klein surface is a surface with a dianalytic structure. A double of a Klein surface $X$ is a Klein surface $Y$ such that there is a degree two morphism (of Klein surfaces) $Y\rightarrow X$. There are many doubles of a given Klein surface…
We prove in two different ways that the monodromy map from the space of irreducible $\mathfrak{sl}_2$-differential-systems on genus two Riemann surfaces, towards the character variety of $\mathrm{SL}_2$-representations of the fundamental…
We consider harmonic maps on simply connected Riemann surfaces into the group $\mathrm{U}(n)$ of unitary matrices of order $n$. It is known that a harmonic map with an associated algebraic extended solution can be deformed into a new…
The (super) Schottky uniformization of compact (super) Riemann surfaces is briefly reviewed. Deformations of super Riemann surface by gravitinos and Beltrami parameters are recast in terms of super Schottky group cohomology. It is checked…
For a self mapping $f:\mathbb{D}\to \mathbb{D}$ of the unit disk in $\mathbb{C}$ which has finite distortion, we give a separation condition on the components of the set where the distortion is large - say greater than a given constant -…
By Koebe's retrosection theorem, every closed Riemann surface of genus $g \geq 2$ is uniformized by a Schottky group. Marden observed that there are Schottky groups that are not classical ones, that is, they cannot be defined by a suitable…
We consider a one-dimensional family of rational surfaces with automorphisms. In a degeneration of this family, the limiting map is the identity map on a special fiber. We check that the map on the total space of the family has…
In this note, we describe the possible singularities on a stable surface which is in the boundary of the moduli space of surfaces isogenous to a product. Then we use the $\mathbb Q$-Gorenstein deformation theory to get some connected…
Degenerate points/lines in the bulk band structures of crystals have become a staple of the growing number of topological materials. The bulk-boundary correspondence provides a relation between bulk topology and surface states. While line…
For a compact Riemann surface X of positive genus, the space of sections of certain theta bundle on moduli of bundles of rank r and level k admits a natural map to (the dual of) a similar space of sections of rank k and level r (the strange…
Let $\{U_t \}_{t \in {\mathbb D}}$ be a family of topological disks on the Riemann sphere containing the origin 0 whose boundaries undergo a holomorphic motion over the unit disk $\mathbb D$. We study the question of when there exists a…
In this paper we study the smooth moduli space of closed Riemann surfaces. This smooth moduli is an infinite cover of the usual moduli space $\mathscr{M}_g$ of closed Riemann surfaces, and is identified with the Schottky space of rank $g.$…
We construct an orientable holomorphic quadratic differential on a Riemann surface of genus 4 whose SL(2,R)-orbit is closed and has a highly degenerate Kontsevich - Zorich spectrum. This example is related to a previous similar construction…
In the present paper, we investigate non-homeomorphic mappings of Riemannian surfaces of Sobolev class. We have obtained some estimates of distortion of moduli of families of curves. As consequence, we have obtained results about the…
We give new upper bounds for the number of nonconstant holomorphic maps depending only on the genus. Our estimates improve previously known bounds. The proof is based on the study of pullbacks of holomorphic differentials, together with…
We study a complex 3-dimensional family of classical Schottky groups of genus 2 as monodromy groups of the hypergeometric equation. We find non-trivial loops in the deformation space; these correspond to continuous integer-shifts of the…
We investigate the geometry of the moduli space of N-vortices on line bundles over a closed Riemann surface of genus g > 1, in the little explored situation where 1 =< N < g. In the regime where the area of the surface is just large enough…
