A compact Riemann surface with a finite set of points removed is parabolic

A Riemann surface $\mathcal{R}$ is called parabolic if it is not compact and doesn't carry a negative non-constant subharmonic function, and is called hyperbolic if it carries a negative non-constant ...

Paths $tg_1+(1-t)g_0$ in the moduli space of Riemann surfaces

Suppose $S$ is a smooth compact oriented surface without boundary. Let $g_0$ and $g_1$ be two smooth Riemannian metrics on $S$. Consider the interpolating path of metrics $g_t=g_1t+g_0(1-t)$. Recall ...

literature/reference request for estimates of first eigenvalue of certain Schrodinger operator on compact surfaces

On compact Riemannian surfaces (say without boundary), the Schrodinger operator I am interested in is of the form $-\Delta+2\kappa$, where $\kappa$ is the Gauss curvature. For minimal surfaces in $\...

Lower bound on the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian of a Riemann surface with constant negative scalar curvature

A friend in physics asked this question, and I didn't know the answer. Are there lower bounds on the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian of a Riemann surface equipped with a metric of constant negative ...
