The relation between Wolf's and Teichmüller's parametrization of the Teichmüller space

Let $\mathcal{T}_g$ be the Teichmüller space of Riemannian surface structures on an oriented 2-dimensional manifold of genus $g$. Fix a point $S \in \mathcal{T}_g$. There are two different ways to ...

Hyperbolic group with boundary $S^1$ implies virtually Fuchsian via bounded cohomology?

Question: Is there an approach to $\partial G \cong S^1$ implies virtually Fuchsian using bounded cohomology of $\mathrm{Homeo^+} (S^1)$? If not is there a reason to believe it wouldn't work, or maybe ...

Asymptotics of arithmetic Fuchsian groups and Shimura curves.

I'm interested in what is known/expected about some families of arithmetic Fuchsian groups. Here is the simplest family that I'm interested in: Let $E = Z[\omega]$, where $\omega = e^{2 \pi i / 3}$. ...

Spectral theory for Fuchsian groups of the first kind

There are tons of material on the spectral theory of $L^2(\Gamma\backslash G)$ for a lattice $\Gamma$ in $G=PSL_2({\mathbb R})$. There are also many papers on the case of $\Gamma$ being convex-...

Discussion of specific arithmetic triangle groups?

Arithmetic triangle groups were classified in Takeuchi, Arithmetic triangle groups, J. Math. Soc. Japan Volume 29, Number 1 (1977), 91-106. The (2,3,7) case was discussed in detail in a number of ...

Maximal orders and surface subgroups of even genus

Let $A$ be a quaternion algebra over a totally real number field $k$. Suppose that $A$ splits at exactly one real place of $A$. Let $\mathcal{O}$ be a maximal order in $A$. Then $\mathcal{O}$ contains ...

Almost modularity of Belyi curves and etale fundamental group of non-Belyi curves

Belyi's theorem states that every curve defined over $\mathbb{\bar Q}$ is almost modular (obtained from $\mathbb{H}^2/\Gamma,\ \Gamma$ a finite index subgroup of $PSL(2,\mathbb{Z})$), after ...

Variation of the geometry of a Dirichlet region as the defining point varies

Let $\Gamma$ a Fuchsian group acting on the hyperbolic plane $\mathfrak{H}$. For me, I am most interested in the case where $\Gamma$ has a fundamental domain that is a finite-polygon with all ...

Arithmetic product and sum of limit sets of non-elementary Fuchsian group of second kind

Let $L \subset \mathbb{R}$ be a limit set of a Fuchsian group $\Gamma$. If $\Gamma$ is a non-elementary Fuchsian group of second kind, then $L$ is a Cantor set. For example: $\Gamma= \bigg\langle \...

Classification of fundamental domains of a fuchsian group

Let $G$ be the (2,3,7) triangle group. We can see it as symmetry group of (2,3,7) tiling of the hyperbolic plane or symmetry group of $[3^7]$ tiling of the hyperbolic plane. This contains translations,...
