Compositions of maps and hypermaps. (Compositions des cartes et hypercartes.)
A classic theorem of Pólya shows that the function is the “smallest” integral-valued entire transcendental function. A variant due to Gel’fond applies to entire functions taking integral values on a geometric progression of integers, and Bézivin has given a generalization of both results. We give a sharp formulation of Bézivin’s result together with a further generalization.
It is a natural question what is the set of minimal periods of a holomorphic maps on a Riemann surface of negative Euler characteristic. Sierakowski studied ordinary holomorphic periods on classical Riemann surfaces. Here we study orientation reversing automorphisms acting on classical Riemann surfaces, and also automorphisms of non-orientable unbordered Klein surfaces to which, following Singerman, we shall refer to as non-orientable Riemann surfaces. We get a complete set of conditions for the...
This work deals with a two-dimensional inverse problem in the field of tomography. The geometry of an unknown inclusion has to be reconstructed from boundary measurements. In this paper, we extend previous results of R. Kress and his coauthors: the leading idea is to use the conformal mapping function as unknown. We establish an integrodifferential equation that the trace of the Riemann map solves. We write it as a fixed point equation and give conditions for contraction. We conclude with a series...
