We construct complete Riemannian metrics to show that the total space of tangent bundles of orientable closed surfaces (except torus) admits complete uniformly PSC-metrics. It gives a partial positive answer to one of Gromov's question.

Let $(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system whose graph is connected, with no infinite edges. A self-map $\tau$ of $W$ such that $\tau_{\sigma\theta}\in \{\tau_{\theta},\ \sigma\tau_{\theta}\}$ for all $\theta\in W$ and all reflections $\sigma$…

We provide descriptions for the moduli spaces $\text{Rep}(\Gamma, PU(m))$, where $\Gamma$ is any finitely generated abelian group and $PU(m)$ is the group of $m\times m$ projective unitary matrices. As an application we show that for any…

We show that conformal maps of simply connected domains with an analytic boundary to a unit disk have an intimate relation to the dispersionless 2D Toda integrable hierarchy. The maps are determined by a particular solution to the hierarchy…

The Maskit embedding M of a surface \Sigma is the space of geometrically finite groups on the boundary of quasifuchsian space for which the `top' end is homeomorphic to \Sigma, while the `bottom' end consists of two triply punctured…

We consider an embedding of planar maps into an equilateral triangle $\Delta$ which we call the Cardy embedding. The embedding is a discrete approximation of a conformal map based on percolation observables that are used in Smirnov's proof…

The Andreev-Thurston Circle Packing Theorem is generalized to packings of convex bodies in planar simply connected domains. This turns out to be a useful tool for constructing conformal and quasiconformal mappings with interesting geometric…

This work is motivated by the question of whether there are spaces $X$ for which the Farber-Grant symmetric topological complexity $TC^S(X)$ differs from the Basabe-Gonz\'alez-Rudyak-Tamaki symmetric topological complexity $TC^\Sigma(X)$.…

Negami's famous planar cover conjecture is equivalent to the statement that a connected graph can be embedded in the projective plane if and only if it has a projective planar cover. In 1999, Hlin\v{e}n\'y proposed extending this conjecture…

Two-dimensional conformally parametrized surfaces immersed in the su(N) algebra are investigated. The focus is on surfaces parametrized by solutions of the equations for the CP^(N-1) sigma model. The Lie-point symmetries of the CP^(N-1)…

We prove sandwich theorems and a Tauberian theorem in the space of compact metric measure spaces, endowed with the Gromov-Hausdorff-Prokhorov (GHP) topology. These results hold with respect to a close relative of Gromov's Lipschitz order.…

This paper studies the connection between the quantum trace map -- which maps the $\mathfrak{sl}_2$-skein module to the quantum Teichm\"uller space for surfaces and to the quantum gluing module for 3-manifolds -- and the quantum UV-IR map…

We show that for certain triangulations of surfaces, circle packings realising the triangulation can be found by solving a system of polynomial equations. We also present a similar system of equations for unbranched circle packings. The…

We introduce a new functional $\mathcal{E}_{\mathfrak{p}}$ on the space of conformal structures on an oriented projective manifold $(M,\mathfrak{p})$. The nonnegative quantity $\mathcal{E}_{\mathfrak{p}}([g])$ measures how much…

We study the reflectional symmetry of a surface in the Euclidean 3-dimensional space with a cross-cap singularity with respect to planes. This symmetry is picked up by the singularities of folding maps on the cross-cap. We give a list of…
