Given two hyperbolic surfaces and a homotopy class of maps between them, Thurston proved that there always exists a representative minimizing the Lipschitz constant. While not unique, these minimizers are rigid along a geodesic lamination.…

Generalizing the Cauchy-Riemann equations, we construct the Osserman system of the first order for a pair $\left(f(x, y), g(x,y) \right)$ of two ${\mathbb{R}}$-valued functions on the domain $\Omega \subset {\mathbb{R}}^{2}$. The graph…

A classical theorem in the theory of minimal surfaces establishes a correspondence between minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and null holomorphic curves in $\mathbb{C}^n$. A hyperbolic version of this correspondence is due to Bryant: null…
