We show that the universal cover of a compact complex surface $X$ is the bidisk $\HH \times \HH$, or $X$ is biholomorphic to $\PP^1 \times \PP^1$, if and only if $K_X^2 > 0$ and there exists an invertible sheaf $\eta$ such that $\eta^2\cong…

Extremality and irreducibility constitute fundamental concepts in mathematics, particularly within tropical geometry. While extremal decomposition is typically computationally hard, this article presents a fast algorithm for identifying the…

Let $S$ be a Riemann surface of type $(p,n)$ with $3p-3+n>0$. Let $\omega$ be a pseudo-Anosov map of $S$ that is obtained from Dehn twists along two families $\{A,B\}$ of simple closed geodesics that fill $S$. Then $\omega$ can be realized…

We prove that, given a compact Riemann surface $\Sigma$ and disjoint finite sets $\varnothing\neq E\subset\Sigma$ and $\Lambda\subset\Sigma$, every map $\Lambda \to \mathbb{R}^3$ extends to a complete conformal minimal immersion…

Consider the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^3$ endowed with a canonical semi-symmetric non-metric connection determined by a vector field $\mathsf{C}\in\mathfrak{X}(\mathbb{R}^3)$. We study surfaces when the sectional curvature with respect to…

We describe in terms of the j-invariant all elliptic surfaces pi: X -> C with a section, such that h^{1,1}(X)=rank NS(X) and the Mordell-Weil group of pi is finite. We use this to give a complete solution to infinitesimal Torelli for…

Let $M$ be a complete Riemannian $3$-manifold with sectional curvatures between $0$ and $1$. A minimal $2$-sphere immersed in $M$ has area at least $4\pi$. If an embedded minimal sphere has area $4\pi$, then $M$ is isometric to the unit…

We obtain compact orientable embedded surfaces with constant mean curvature $0<H<\frac{1}{2}$ and arbitrary genus in $\mathbb{S}^2\times\mathbb{R}$. These surfaces have dihedral symmetry and desingularize a pair of spheres with mean…

Let $T$ be a triangulation of a Riemann surface. We show that the 1-skeleton of $T$ may be oriented so that there is a global bound on the outdegree of the vertices. Our application is to construct extremal metrics on triangulations formed…
