We consider Jordan curves of the form $\gamma=\cup_{j=1}^n \gamma_j$ on the Riemann sphere for which each $\gamma_j$ is a hyperbolic geodesic in $(\widehat{\mathbb C} \smallsetminus \gamma)\cup \gamma_j$. These Jordan curves are…

A Jordan curve on the Riemann sphere can be encoded by its conformal welding, a circle homeomorphism. The Loewner energy measures how far a Jordan curve is away from being a circle, or equivalently, how far its welding homeomorphism is away…

We explicitly construct simple, piecewise minimizing geodesic, arbitrarily fine interpolation of simple and Jordan curves on a Riemannian manifold. In particular, a finite sequence of partition points can be specified in advance to be…

We obtain a new formula for the Loewner energy of Jordan curves on the sphere, which is a K\"ahler potential for the essentially unique K\"ahler metric on the Weil-Petersson universal Teichm\"uller space, as the renormalised energy of…

The classic Lusternik--Schnirelmann theorem states that there are three distinct simple periodic geodesics on any Riemannian 2-sphere $M$. It has been proven by Y. Liokumovich, A. Nabutovsky and R. Rotman that the shortest three such curves…

In this note, we establish an expression of the Loewner energy of a Jordan curve on the Riemann sphere in terms of Werner's measure on simple loops of SLE$_{8/3}$ type. The proof is based on a formula for the change of the Loewner energy…

This paper continues a geometric study of Harvey's Complex of Curves, whose ultimate goal is to apply the theory of hyperbolic spaces and groups to algorithmic questions for the Mapping Class Group and geometric properties of Kleinian…

We show that for given four points in the Riemann sphere and a given isotopy class of two disjoint arcs connecting these points in two pairs, there exists a unique configuration with the property that each arc is a hyperbolic geodesic…

We study foliations by chord-arc Jordan curves of the twice punctured Riemann sphere $\mathbb C \smallsetminus \{0\}$ using the Loewner-Kufarev equation. We associate to such a foliation a function on the plane that describes the "local…

Motivated by known examples of Joyce structures on spaces of meromorphic quadratic differentials, we consider the isomonodromic deformations of particular second-order linear ODEs with rational potential. We show the infinitesimal…

The goal of this expository article is to explain how a fundamental functional on the space of Jordan curves arising from SLE - Loewner energy - is connected to a seemingly far apart subject: the K\"ahler geometry of universal Teichm\"uller…

Jordan algebras arise naturally in (quantum) information geometry, and we want to understand their role and their structure within that framework. Inspired by Kirillov's discussion of the symplectic structure on coadjoint orbits, we provide…

According to a general definition of discrete curves, surfaces, and manifolds. This paper focuses on the Jordan curve theorem in 2D discrete spaces. The Jordan curve theorem says that a (simply) closed curve separates a simply connected…

Using a definition of Jordan curve similar to that of Dieudonn\'e, we prove that our notion is equivalent to that used by Berg et al. in their constructive proof of the Jordan Curve Theorem. We then establish a number of properties of…

We give a Morse-theoretic characterization of simple closed geodesics on Riemannian $2$-spheres. On any Riemannian $2$-sphere endowed with a generic metric, we show there exists a simple closed geodesic with Morse index $1$, $2$ and $3$. In…

The consideration of the so-called rotation minimizing frames allows for a simple and elegant characterization of plane and spherical curves in Euclidean space via a linear equation relating the coefficients that dictate the frame motion.…

The Loewner energy of a Jordan curve is the Dirichlet energy of its Loewner driving term. It is finite if and only if the curve is a Weil-Petersson quasicircle. In this paper, we describe cutting and welding operations on finite Dirichlet…

We prove that given a finite set $E$ in a bordered Riemann surface $\mathcal{R}$, there is a continuous map $h\colon \overline{\mathcal{R}}\setminus E\to\mathbb{C}^n$ ($n\geq 2$) such that $h|_{\mathcal{R}\setminus E} \colon…

The purpose of this paper is to interpret the phase transition in the Loewner theory as an analog of the hyperbolic variant of the Schur theorem about curves of bounded curvature. We define a family of curves that have a certain conformal…

In 1990, Hitchin's proved a component of the space of representations of a surface group in SL(n,R) is homeomorphic to a ball. For n=2,3 this component has been identified with the holonomies of geometric structures (hyperbolic for n=2, or…
