The Gauss map of non-degenerate surfaces in the three-dimensional Minkowski space are viewed as dynamical fields of the two-dimensional O(2,1) Nonlinear Sigma Model. In this setting, the moduli space of solutions with rotational symmetry is…

Let $\Gamma_g$ be the fundamental group of a closed connected orientable surface of genus $g\geq2$. We introduce a combinatorial structure of "core surfaces", that represent subgroups of $\Gamma_g$. These structures are (usually)…

Harmonic maps from Riemann surfaces arise from a conformally invariant variational problem. Therefore, on one hand, they are intimately connected with moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces, and on the other hand, because the conformal group is…

We define a class of two dimensional surfaces conformally related to minimal surfaces in flat three dimensional geometries. By the utility of the metrics of such surfaces we give a construction of the metrics of $2 N$ dimensional Ricci flat…

We study the space of periodic solutions of the elliptic $\sinh$-Gordon equation by means of spectral data consisting of a Riemann surface $Y$ and a divisor $D$. We show that the space $M_g^{\mathbf{p}}$ of real periodic finite type…

In this note, we gauge the rigid vectorial supersymmetry of the two-dimensional Poisson sigma model presented in arXiv:1503.05625. We show that the consistency of the construction does not impose any further constraints on the differential…

We define and investigate a geometric object, called an associative geometry, corresponding to an associative algebra (and, more generally, to an associative pair). Associative geometries combine aspects of Lie groups and of generalized…

We prove a compactness theorem for metrics with Bounded Integral Curvature on a fixed closed surface $\Sigma$. As a corollary, we obtain a compactification of the space of Riemannian metrics with conical singularities, where an accumulation…

We propose a new class of sigma models based on Courant sigma models. We refer to these models as gauged Courant sigma models (GCSMs). By introducing additional gauge symmetries, such as those associated with a Lie group, a Lie groupoid (or…

We prove that the image of an isometric embedding into ${\mathbb R}^3$ of a two dimensionnal complete Riemannian manifold $(\Sigma, g)$ without boundary is a convex surface provided both the embedding and the metric $g$ enjoy a…

In this article, we study geometric aspects of semi-arithmetic Riemann surfaces by means of number theory and hyperbolic geometry. First, we show the existence of infinitely many semi-arithmetic Riemann surfaces of various shapes and prove…

Motivated by considerations of euclidean quantum gravity, we investigate a central question of spectral geometry, namely the question of reconstructability of compact Riemannian manifolds from the spectra of their Laplace operators. To this…

A large class of solvable models of dilaton gravity in two space-time dimensions, capable of describing black hole geometry, are analyzed in a unified way as non-linear sigma models possessing a special symmetry. This symmetry, which can be…

Algebraic-geometrical n-orthogonal curvilinear coordinate systems in a flat space are constructed. They are expressed in terms of the Riemann theta function of auxiliary algebraic curves. The exact formulae for the potentials of algebraic…

Using twisted commutation relations we show that the quantum sinh-Gordon model on noncommutative space is integrable, and compute the exact two-particle scattering matrix. The model possesses a strong-weak duality, just like its commutative…

A procedure is developed for constructing deformations of integrable sigma-models which are themselves classically integrable. When applied to the principal chiral model on any compact Lie group F, one recovers the Yang-Baxter sigma-model…
