Special holomorphic triples on Riemann surfaces and branch divisors

See the formula in the proof of Corollary 11.3.1 in The Monodromy Groups of Schwarzian Equations on Closed Riemann Surfaces: $$ deg(L)= g-1 +(deg(E) -deg(B_s))/2. $$ As for your first question (can we …

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

Two relevant references: W. Abikoff, Some remarks on Kleinian groups. 1971 Advances in the Theory of Riemann Surfaces (Proc. Conf., Stony Brook, N.Y., 1969) pp. 1–5. Ann. of Math. Studies, No. 66. P …

Does every Riemann surface with boundary immerse in C?

A more general result is proven in Gunning, R. C., Narasimhan, R., Immersion of open Riemann surfaces. Math. Ann. 174, 103–108 (1967). As for compact surfaces with boundary, it is essentially a par …

Quotient of the hyperbolic plane with respect to commutator group of $\pi_1(\Sigma_g)$

Let me start by interpreting the question "What kind of surface is $S$?" in the case of a general connected oriented topological surface (without boundary). (I am considering only oriented surfaces ju …

Does every canonical decomposition of the intersection form come from a canonical homology b...

Yes, every such decomposition gives rise to a symplectic automorphism $h$ of $Z^{2n}$ (sending standard symplectic generators to the generators of $A$ and $B$ respectively). Now, use the fact that th …

A continuous version of Teichmuller uniqueness

Here are some details. First, in your setting, all the maps $g_n$ are K-quasiconfirmal for a certain K. Thus, by the convergence property for qc maps, the sequence $(g_n)$ has a convergent subsequence …

What prevents a cover to be Galois?

I assume that the surfaces are connected. Composition of two regular covering maps need not be regular even if the coverings are unbranched: A (usual) covering map is regular iff it is defined by a no …

Fuchsian groups and their normalizers

Unfortunately, as far as I know, nobody really explains such things as they are considered to be "too elementary". The most basic, briefest and down-to-earth reference I know for the needed background …

Automorphisms of higher-genus Riemann surfaces act nontrivially on homology (Reference Request)

The result itself seems to be due to A. Hurwitz: "Uber algebraische Gebilde mit eindeutigen Transformationen in sich," Math. Ann., 41:403–442, 1893. At least, this is what Babai refer to on page 42 …

Complete metric on a Riemann surface with punctures

A good reference for this is, say, Kobayashi and Nomizu "Foundations of Differential Geometry". The result you are looking for is: If $M$ is a complete Riemannian manifold and $p: M\to M'$ is a (loca …

Embedding a Riemann surface in the sphere

See e.g. here: Theorem 3.2.7. Any planar connected Riemann surface is biholomorphic to an open subset of $S^2$. The proof is very straightforward: Exhaust a genus $0$ surface $S$ by relatively comp …
