In this paper we study metric ribbon graphs, in particular, directed metric ribbon graphs. These ribbon graphs are dual to bipartite maps and appear in the context of Abelian differentials. We prove that it is possible to decompose a…

In this manuscript, by using Belyi maps and dessin d'enfants, we construct some concrete examples of Strebel differentials with four double poles on the Riemann sphere. As an application, we could give some explicit cone spherical metrics…

By work of Jenkins and Strebel, given a Riemann surface X and a simple closed multi-curve $\alpha$ on it, there exists a unique quadratic differential q on X whose horizontal foliation is measure equivalent to $\alpha$. We study the…

We present a method of obtaining a Belyi map on an elliptic curve from that on the Riemann sphere. This is done by writing the former as a radical of the latter, which we call a quadratic correspondence, with the radical determining the…

We point out an explicit connection between graphs drawn on compact Riemann surfaces defined over the field $\bar{\mathbb{Q}}$ of algebraic numbers --- so-called Grothendieck's {\it dessins d'enfants} --- and a wealth of distinguished…

There are several ways to associate a complex structure to a ribbon graph. In the construction of dessins d'enfants a single riemann surface is associated to each graph. We call it the Grothendieck model of a ribbon graph. The goal of the…

Coverings of the Riemann sphere by itself, ramified over two points, are given by so-called Shabat polynomials. The correspondence between Grothendieck's dessins d'enfants and Belyi maps then implies a bijection between Shabat polynomials…

In \cite{MP} we have shown that if a compact Riemann surface admits a Strebel differential with rational periods, then the Riemann surface is the complex model of an algebraic curve defined over the field of algebraic numbers. We will show…

Cone spherical metrics are conformal metrics with constant curvature one and finitely many conical singularities on compact Riemann surfaces. By using Strebel differentials as a bridge, we construct a new class of cone spherical metrics on…

Let $(\Sigma,p)$ be a pointed Riemann surface of genus $g\geq 1$. For any integer $k\geq 1$, we parametrize the space of meromorphic quadratic differentials on $\Sigma$ with a pole of order $(k+2)$ at $p$, having a connected critical graph…

Riemann's Existence Theorem gives the following bijections: (1) Isomorphism classes of Belyi maps of degree $d$. (2) Equivalence classes of generating systems of degree $d$. (3) Isomorphism classes of dessins d'enfants with $d$ edges. In…

We prove the existence of "half-plane differentials" with prescribed local data on any Riemann surface. These are meromorphic quadratic differentials with higher-order poles which have an associated singular flat metric isometric to a…

We study real trigonal curves and elliptic surfaces of type $\I$ (over a base of an arbitrary genus) and their fiberwise equivariant deformations. The principal tool is a real version of Grothendieck's \emph{dessins d'enfants}. We give a…

Dessin d'enfants (French for children's drawings) serve as a unique standpoint of studying classical complex analysis under the lens of combinatorial constructs. A thorough development of the background of this theory is developed with an…

Let X be some Riemann surface, and let omega be a meromorphic quadratic differential form on X, that is, omega can be written in local coordinates as f(z) dz^2, for some meromorphic function f. We say that a curve gamma is part of a…

We show how to define a canonical Riemannian metric on a "dessin d'enfants' drawn on a topological surface. This gives a possible explanation of a claim of A. Grothendieck.

Mixed graphs can be seen as digraphs that have both arcs and edges (or digons, that is, two opposite arcs). In this paper, we consider the case in which such graphs are Cayley graphs of Abelian groups. These groups can be constructed by…

We consider N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories perturbed by tree level superpotential terms near isolated singular points in the Coulomb moduli space. We identify the Seiberg-Witten curve at these points with polynomial equations used to…

This survey paper begins with the description of the duality between arc systems and ribbon graphs embedded in a punctured surface. Then we explain how to cellularize the moduli space of curves in two different ways: using Jenkins-Strebel…

A meromorphic quadratic differential with poles of order two, on a compact Riemann surface, induces a measured foliation on the surface, with a spiralling structure at any pole that is determined by the complex residue of the differential…
