Bring's curve, the unique Riemann surface of genus-4 with automorphism group $S_5$, has many exceptional properties. We review, give new proofs of, and extend a number of these including giving the complete realisation of the automorphism…

Bring's curve is the genus 4 Riemann surface with automorphism group of maximal size, $S_5$. Riera and Rodr\'iguez have provided the most detailed study of the curve thus far via a hyperbolic model. We will recover and extend their results…

The aim of this article is to give a concise algebraic treatment of the modular symbols formalism, generalised from modular curves to Hecke triangle surfaces. A sketch is included of how the modular symbols formalism gives rise to the…

Consider equilateral pentagons $V_1,\ldots,V_5$ in the Euclidean plane. When we identify pentagons that differ by translation, rotation, and magnification, the moduli space of possible shapes that we get is an oft-studied polygon space: a…

We study the local equivalence problems of curves and surfaces in three dimensional Heisenberg group via Cartans method of moving frames and Lie groups, and find a complete set of invariants for curves and surfaces. For surfaces, in terms…

The action of the mapping class group of a surface on the collection of homotopy classes of disjointly embedded curves or arcs in the surface is discussed here as a tool for understanding Riemann's moduli space and its topological and…

There are three complete plane geometries of constant curvature: spherical, Euclidean and hyperbolic geometry. We explain how a closed oriented surface can carry a geometry which locally looks like one of these. Focussing on the hyperbolic…

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)…

We introduce one of the most beautiful algebraic varieties known, a quintic hypersurface in projective five-space, which is invariant under the action of the Weyl group of $E_6$. This variety is intricately related with many other moduli…

Let $H_{g}$ be a 3-dimensional handlebody of genus $g$. We determine the twisted first homology group of the mapping class group of $H_{g}$ with coefficients in the first integral homology group of the boundary surface $\partial H_{g}$ for…

We show the fundamental theorems of curves and surfaces in the 3-dimensional Heisenberg group and find a complete set of invariants for curves and surfaces respectively. The proofs are based on Cartan's method of moving frames and Lie group…

Every surface bundle with genus $g$ fiber has a canonical Heegaard splitting of genus $2g+1$. We classify the mapping class groups of such Heegaard splittings in the case when the surface bundle has a sufficiently complicated monodromy map.

In this survey we discuss how geometric methods can be used to study topological properties of 3-manifolds such as their Heegaard genus or the rank of their fundamental group. On the other hand, we also discuss briefly some results relating…

We classify homomorphisms from the braid group on $n$ strands to the pure mapping class group of a nonoriantable surface of genus $g$. For $n\ge 14$ and $g\le 2\lfloor{n/2}\rfloor+1$ every such homomorphism is either cyclic, or it maps…

The Hessian map is the rational map that sends a homogeneous polynomial to the determinant of its Hessian matrix. We prove that the Hessian map is birational on its image for ternary forms of degree $d\ge 4$, $d\neq 5$, by considering the…

Like the Higgs bundles on a Riemann surface who played an important role in the study of representation of the fundamental group of the surface, the parabolic Higgs bundles play also their importance in the study of the fundamental group…

Given a closed oriented surface $\Sigma$ of genus greater than 0, we construct a map $\mathcal{F}$ from the higher-dimensional Heegaard Floer homology of the cotangent fibers of $T^*\Sigma$ to the Hecke algebra associated to $\Sigma$ and…

Generalizing the method of Faltings-Serre, we rigorously verify that certain abelian surfaces without extra endomorphisms are paramodular. To compute the required Hecke eigenvalues, we develop a method of specialization of Siegel…

S. Kond\=o used periods of $K3$ surfaces to prove that the moduli space of genus three curves is birational to an arithmetic quotient of a complex 6-ball. In this paper we study Heegner divisors in the ball quotient, given by arithmetically…

We compute the Brauer group of the moduli stack of hyperelliptic curves $\mathcal{H}_g$ over any field of characteristic zero. In positive characteristic, we compute the part of the Brauer group whose order is prime to the characteristic of…
