Continuous point map for spherical domains

Consider the space $J$ of Jordan domains on the sphere $\textbf{S}^2$, i.e., continuous injective maps from the unit disk into $\textbf{S}^2$ modulo homeomorphisms of the disk. How can one construct a ...

Are square tiled surfaces dense in the moduli space of translation surfaces?

I'm reading the survey "An introduction to Veech surfaces" by Pascal Hubert and Thomas Schmidt. At page 19 they state "In any fixed stratum, the set of square-tiled surfaces of that stratum is dense....

Length of simple closed curve in half-translation surface

Let $R$ be a Riemann surface of genus $g\ge 2$ and $q$ an holomorphic quadratic differential on $R$. Together they determine a semi-translation structure: an atlas on $X$ such that its changes of ...

Riemannian metrics as sections of a vector bundle

Let $\pi \colon E \to M$ be a smooth vector bundle. A Riemannian metric on $E$ can be regarded as a global section of the vector bundle $(E\otimes E)^{\ast}$, or more specifically, the subbundle $(S^...

Are harmonic maps quasiconformal at the boundary of hyperbolic spaces?

Let $M$ be a hyperbolic $3$-manifold and $X$ a negatively curved, simply connected space with geometric boundary $\partial X$. If $\rho:\pi_1M\rightarrow Isom(X)$ does not fix a point in $\partial X$,...

Non-Kahler Complex manifolds

For a non-Kahler complex manifold $M$, we still have the decomposition of differential forms into differential forms of type $(p,q)$ and we can write $d=\partial+\bar\partial$ and we can define ...
