Illumination of a convex body
The answer depends on the point $p$ and on the body. Here is a simple counterexample in $R^3$. Take two regular hexagons in parallel planes, so that the line $L$ connecting their centers is perpendicu …

Construction of self-covering map of any surface
First of all, the Riemann-Hurwitz formula with $\chi<0$ implies that
for every self-covering $d=1$ so it is an automorphism. The only punctured surfaces with $\chi\geq 0$ are torus, sphere, and sphere …

Does every orientable surface embed in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$
Here is a reference:
MR0304649 (46 #3781)
Rüedy, Reto A.
Embeddings of open Riemann surfaces.
Comment. Math. Helv. 46 (1971), 214–225.
He talks about Riemann surfaces, but every orientable topological …

Do all combinatorially distinct fundamental polygons correspond to surfaces?
Yes. 2. Yes. (I suppose that the surfaces are "the same" if they are homeomorphic).
For 1, it is sufficient to check the definition of surface: that every point has a neigborhood homeomorphic to t …

A convex curve inside the unit circle
This has nothing to do with circles (or polygons). If one convex curve is inside another,
then the length of the inner curve is smaller.

A problem related to connectivity of analytic functions
No, it can be infinite. Start with the function $w=f(z)$ mapping the unit disc onto itself.
Let $I_k$ be disjoint closed arcs on the image disc in the $w$ plane. Deform the image region by adding two …

on common fixed points of commuting polynomials (and rational functions)
I don't know the answers. Consider this as an extended comment.
Let $P$ be the set of fixed points of $g$. Then $f$ maps $P$ into itself.
Indeed let $x\in P$, so $g(x)=x$. Then
$$f(x)=f(g(x))=g(f(x)), …

How would a topologist explain "every Riemann surface of genus $g$ is hyperelliptic if and o...
A 19th century topologist would explain this by dimension count. By Riemann-Hurwitz, a surface of genus $g$ covering the sphere
with $2$ sheets has $2g+2$ ramification points which gives $2g-1$ free c …

Existence of covering isomorphism
I suppose that "non-compact complex algebraic curve" means complex affine curve.
The following counterexample was proposed by my friend Fedor Pakovich.
Let $D=\mathbf{C}\backslash\{-1,1\}$.
Consider t …

Maximum of a sum of Gaussian functions
Yes, and this has nothing to do with Gaussian: you can take $\phi_i(x)=g_i(|x-x_i|)$
where $g_i$ are any strictly decreasing functions.
Lemma. If all $x_j$ are all on one side of a hyperplane $H$ (o …

Finding a hyperbolic metric with geodesic boundary on a given Riemann surface
A good reference is
W. Abikoff, The real analytic theory of Teichmuller space, Springer, 1980. (Chap. II section 1).
The idea is that you construct the double: it is the result of gluing of your surfa …

The behaviour of holomorphic mapping of curves
You are asking too many questions, some of them are very difficult.
Here are some answers.

Jordan curve theorem for cylinders
A more general result is true. Let F and G be two disjoint connected compact subsets
of the sphere. Let D be the component of the complement whose boundary intersects both.
Then D is conformally equiv …
