Multiple prime covers of the riemann sphere

Aaron Wootton (2005)

Open Mathematics

A compact Riemann surface X of genus g≥2 which admits a cyclic group of automorphisms C q of prime order q such that X/C q has genus 0 is called a cyclic q-gonal surface. If a q-gonal surface X is also p-gonal for some prime p≠q, then X is called a multiple prime surface. In this paper, we classify all multiple prime surfaces. A consequence of this classification is a proof of the fact that a cyclic q-gonal surface can be cyclic p-gonal for at most one other prime p.

Navigating moduli space with complex twists

Curtis McMullen (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We discuss a common framework for studying twists of Riemann surfaces coming from earthquakes, Teichmüller theory and Schiffer variations, and use it to analyze geodesics in the moduli space of isoperiodic 1-forms.

Non-rectifiable limit sets of dimension one.

Christopher J. Bishop (2002)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

We construct quasiconformal deformations of convergence type Fuchsian groups such that the resulting limit set is a Jordan curve of Hausdorff dimension 1, but having tangents almost nowhere. It is known that no divergence type group has such a deformation. The main tools in this construction are (1) a characterization of tangent points in terms of Peter Jones' beta's, (2) a result of Stephen Semmes that gives a Carleson type condition on a Beltrami coefficient which implies rectifiability and (3)...

Pointed k -surfaces

Graham Smith (2006)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Let S be a Riemann surface. Let 3 be the 3 -dimensional hyperbolic space and let 3 be its ideal boundary. In our context, a Plateau problem is a locally holomorphic mapping ϕ : S 3 = ^ . If i : S 3 is a convex immersion, and if N is its exterior normal vector field, we define the Gauss lifting, ı ^ , of i by ı ^ = N . Let n : U 3 3 be the Gauss-Minkowski mapping. A solution to the Plateau problem ( S , ϕ ) is a convex immersion i of constant Gaussian curvature equal to k ( 0 , 1 ) such that the Gauss lifting ( S , ı ^ ) is complete and n ı ^ = ϕ . In this paper, we show...

Polyhedral Realization of a Thurston Compactification

Matthieu Gendulphe, Yohei Komori (2014)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Let Σ 3 - be the connected sum of three real projective planes. We realize the Thurston compactification of the Teichmüller space Teich ( Σ 3 - ) as a simplex in P ( 4 ) .
