Nielsen extension of Riemann surface

The below is a cut and paste from a paper from Noemi Goldberg, PAMS, 1986. I blame Preview for the typesetting quality (= not knowing about mathjax). However, the original poster could also have googl …

Can the limit set of an infinitely generated Schottky group have positive area?

Yes. This is due Z.-X. He, and in greater generality to Rich Schwartz, see Schwartz, Richard, The limit sets of some infinitely generated Schottky groups, Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 335, No.2, 865-875 (19 …

Can the limit set of an infinitely generated Schottky group have positive area?

Almost surely such examples are constructed by Stratmann and Urbanski: Stratmann, Bernd O.; Urba\'nski, Mariusz, Pseudo-Markov systems and infinitely generated Schottky groups, Am. J. Math. 129, No. …

Why a non-simple geodesic in a Y-piece is NOT homotopic to a common perpendicular to the geo...

The thing about homotopies of curves is that they preserve the endpoints (on $S^1_\infty$) of the lifts. Whether or not two such lifts intersect depends only on the sign of the cross-ratio of the four …

Does there exist a non-hyperelliptic Riemann surface with automorphism group $C_2\times A_4$?

There is a non-hyperelliptic (fixed-point free) involution of the surface of genus $5,$ with the quotient a surface of genus $3.$ Further, $A_4$ does come up as the automorphism group thereof, see S. …

Embedding a Riemann surface in the sphere

Unless I am confused, why not add the points back, map the resulting surface to the Riemann sphere conformally by unifomization, then remove the images of the offending points?

A question on part of "An introduction to teichmuller spaces" by Imayoshi-Taniguchi

Here is the reference for Painleve's theorem: http://eom.springer.de/p/p071100.htm (the second paragraph). I don't understand your first question.

Is every closed Sasakian 3-manifold a circle bundle on a Riemann surface?

A complete topological classification is due to Geiges, and can be found in this 2001 paper by Guilfoyle. (the first Theorem in the paper).

Euclidean surfaces with conical singularities and cusped hyperbolic surfaces

Your description is a little too abstract: it is easier to think of this geometrically [in a special case]. Fact (Rivin, 1991): Every complete finite area hyperbolic metric on a sphere with punctures …

Complete metric on a Riemann surface with punctures

To see how you get complete metrics, you should know enough about hyperbolic geometry to know what an ideal triangle is. Once you do, note that any triangulation can be made of ideal triangles (usuall …
