We collect some classical results related to analysis on the Riemann surfaces. The notes may serve as an introduction to the field: we suppose that the reader is familiar only with the basic facts from topology and complex analysis. the…

In this paper, we establish the Poisson integral formula for bounded pluriharmonic functions on the Teichm\"uller space of analytically finite Riemann surfaces of type $(g,m)$ with $2g-2+m>0$. We also discuss a version of the F. and M.…

Let $M$ be an $m$-dimensional differentiable manifold with a nontrivial circle action ${\mathcal S}= {\lbrace S_t \rbrace}_{t \in\RR}, S_{t+1}=S_t$, preserving a smooth volume $\mu$. For any Liouville number $\a$ we construct a sequence of…

The problem of diffraction by a Dirichlet quarter-plane (a flat cone) in a 3D space is studied. The Wiener-Hopf equation for this case is derived and involves two unknown (spectral) functions depending on two complex variables. The aim of…

Let $M$\/ be a subharmonic function with Riesz measure $\mu_M$ on the unit disk $\mathbb D$ in the complex plane $\mathbb C$. Let $f$ be a nonzero holomorphic function on $\mathbb D$ such that $f$ vanishes on ${\sf Z}\subset \mathbb D$, and…

We study the topology of closed, simply-connected, 6-dimensional Riemannian manifolds of positive sectional curvature which admit isometric actions by $SU(2)$ or $SO(3)$. We show that their Euler characteristic agrees with that of the known…

Chirality, the lack of inversion symmetry, is a geometrical property critical to chemistry, biology and material sciences. In the three-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^3$ chriality can ususally be characterized with four-point…

The characteristic property of the 2-dimensional Polyakov action is its independence on the metric tensor, without being topological. A renormalizable 4-dimensional action is found satisfying this fundamental property. The fundamental…
