We study the energy distribution of harmonic 1-forms on a compact hyperbolic Riemann surface S where a short closed geodesic is pinched. If the geodesic separates the surface into two parts, then the Jacobian variety of S develops into a variety that split ...
Ongoing advances in imaging techniques create new demands regarding the analysis of images in medicine and biology. Image segmentation is a key step of many image analysis pipelines and its proper execution is a particularly challenging task. This thesis i ...
Poincaré's uniformisation theorem says that any Riemann surface is conformally equivalent to a unique (up to isometry) surface of constant Gauss curvature 0, 1 or –1. The (topologically) richest of these three worlds is for curvature –1 formed of hyperboli ...
To a compact Riemann surface of genus g can be assigned a principally polarized abelian variety (PPAV) of dimension g, the Jacobian of the Riemann surface. The Schottky problem is to discern the Jacobians among the PPAVs. Buser and Sarnak showed that the s ...
To any compact Riemann surface of genus g one may assign a principally polarized abelian variety (PPAV) of dimension g, the Jacobian of the Riemann surface. The Jacobian is a complex torus and we call a Gram matrix of the lattice of a Jacobian a period Gra ...
The Uniformization Theorem due to Koebe and Poincaré implies that every compact Riemann surface of genus greater or equal to 2 can be endowed with a metric of constant curvature – 1. On the other hand, a compact Riemann surface is a complex algebraic curve ...
In this paper, involutions without fixed points on hyperbolic closed Riemann surface are discussed. For an orientable surface X of even genus with an arbitrary Riemannian metric d admitting an involution tau, it is known that min (p is an element of X) d(p ...
Assume that we have a (compact) Riemann surface S, of genus greater than 2, with S = D/Gamma, where D is the complex unit disc and Gamma is a surface Fuchsian group. Let us further consider that S has an automorphism group G in such a way that the orbifold ...
In the discussion on the use of the surface Laplacian (SL) of the distribution of bioelectric potentials on the body surface, the question remained open whether a complete specification of the SL of the potential over the surface bounding a volume conducto ...
Using an algebraic formalism based on matrices in SL(2,R), we explicitly give the Teichmüller spaces of Riemann surfaces of signature (0,4) (X pieces), (1,2) ("Fish" pieces) and (2,0) in trace coordinates. The approach, based upon gluing together two build ...
Summary: We explicitly give calT, the Teichmüller space of four-holed spheres (which we call X pieces) in trace coordinates, as well as its modular group and a fundamental domain for the action of this group on calT which is its moduli space. As a co ...
The leitmotif of this dissertation is the search for length formulas and sharp constants in relation with simple closed geodesics on hyperbolic compact Riemann surfaces. The main tools used are those of hyperbolic trigonometry, topological properties of si ...
