Is there a proof of the uniformization theorem using circle packing?
In this paper: http://www.dm.unipi.it/~benedett/rodin-sullivan.pdf
Rodin and Sullivan show that circle packings converge to the Riemann map. Later, Scharmm and He found another proof of the same ...

Criterion for deciding the conformal class of a metric on a complete surface
For orientable closed Riemannian surfaces $(S,g)$, there is a constant curvature metric $\overline{g}$ on $S$ that is conformal to $g$ in the sense that $\overline{g} = e^ug$ for some smooth function $...

Schwarz Lemma in terms of conformal surfaces or holomorphic curves?
Scharwz Lemma in its general form says that any holomorphic map between hyperbolic surfaces is contracting.
Noting that Riemann surfaces admit a unique metric of constant curvature -1, I wonder if we ...

Defining “addition” on the Riemann surface of log(z)
The title of this question is a bit awkward, as adding two points together on a manifold is usually not considered possible, but in this case there appears to be a nice little hack.
Consider the ...

Coordinate charts on converging Riemann surfaces
Let $S$ be a $2-$dim manifold and $q \in S$. Furthermore, let $j_{n}$ be a sequence of complex structures on $S$ converging in $C^{\infty}_{\text{loc}}$ to a complex structure $j$ on $S$ as $n\...
