The study of the mapping class group Mod(S) is a classical topic that is experiencing a renaissance. It lies at the juncture of geometry, topology, and group theory. This book explains as many important theorems, examples, and techniques as possible, quickly and directly, while at the same time giving full details and keeping the text nearly self-contained. The book is suitable for graduate students. It begins by explaining the main group-theoretical properties of Mod(S), from finite generation by Dehn twists and low-dimensional homology to the Dehn–Nielsen–Baer–theorem. Along the way, central objects and tools are introduced, such as the Birman exact sequence, the complex of curves, the braid group, the symplectic representation, and the Torelli group. The book then introduces Teichmüller space and its geometry, and uses the action of Mod(S) on it to prove the Nielsen-Thurston classification of surface homeomorphisms. Topics include the topology of the moduli space of Riemann surfaces, the connection with surface bundles, pseudo-Anosov theory, and Thurston's approach to the classification.

The present paper is a natural continuation of our previous paper (2017) on the boundary behavior of mappings in the Sobolev classes on Riemann surfaces, where the reader will be able to find the corresponding historic comments and a discussion of many definitions and relevant results. The given paper was devoted to the theory of the boundary behavior of mappings with finite distortion by Iwaniec on Riemannian surfaces first introduced for the plane in the paper of Iwaniec T. and Sverak V. (1993) On mappings with integrable dilatation and then extended to the spatial case in the monograph of Iwaniec T. and Martin G. (2001) devoted to Geometric function theory and non-linear analysis. At the present paper, it is developed the theory of the boundary behavior of the so--called mappings with finite length distortion first introduced in the paper of Martio O., Ryazanov V., Srebro U. and Yakubov~E. (2004) in the spatial case, see also Chapter 8 in their monograph (2009) on Moduli in modern mapping theory. As it was shown in the paper of Kovtonyuk D., Petkov I. and Ryazanov V. (2017) On the boundary behavior of mappings with finite distortion in the plane, such mappings, generally speaking, are not mappings with finite distortion by Iwaniec because their first partial derivatives can be not locally integrable. At the same time, this class is a generalization of the known class of mappings with bounded distortion by Martio--Vaisala from their paper (1988). Moreover, this class contains as a subclass the so-called finitely bi-Lipschitz mappings introduced for the spatial case in the paper of Kovtonyuk D. and Ryazanov V. (2011) On the boundary behavior of generalized quasi-isometries, that in turn are a natural generalization of the well-known classes of bi-Lipschitz mappings as well as isometries and quasi-isometries. In the research of the local and boundary behavior of mappings with finite length distortion in the spatial case, the key fact was that they satisfy some modulus inequalities which was a motivation for the consideration more wide classes of mappings, in particular, the Q-homeomorphisms (2005) and the mappings with finite area distortion (2008). Hence it is natural that under the research of mappings with finite length distortion on Riemann surfaces we start from establishing the corresponding modulus inequalities that are the main tool for us. On this basis, we prove here a series of criteria in terms of dilatations for the continuous and homeomorphic extension to the boundary of the mappings with finite length distortion between domains on arbitrary Riemann surfaces.

Space Volume

Abstract We study the moduli space volume of BPS vortices in quiver gauge theories on compact Riemann surfaces. The existence of BPS vortices imposes constraints on the quiver gauge theories. We show that the moduli space volume is given by a vev of a suitable cohomological operator (volume operator) in a supersymmetric quiver gauge theory, where BPS equations of the vortices are embedded. In the supersymmetric gauge theory, the moduli space volume is exactly evaluated as a contour integral by using the localization. Graph theory is useful to construct the supersymmetric quiver gauge theory and to derive the volume formula. The contour integral formula of the volume (generalization of the Jeffrey-Kirwan residue formula) leads to the Bradlow bounds (upper bounds on the vorticity by the area of the Riemann surface divided by the intrinsic size of the vortex). We give some examples of various quiver gauge theories and discuss properties of the moduli space volume in these theories. Our formula are applied to the volume of the vortex moduli space in the gauged non-linear sigma model with CPN target space, which is obtained by a strong coupling limit of a parent quiver gauge theory. We also discuss a non-Abelian generalization of the quiver gauge theory and “Abelianization” of the volume formula.

Abstract We associate a flow $\phi $ with a solution of the vortex equations on a closed oriented Riemannian 2-manifold $(M,g)$ of negative Euler characteristic and investigate its properties. We show that $\phi $ always admits a dominated splitting and identify special cases in which $\phi $ is Anosov. In particular, starting from holomorphic differentials of fractional degree, we produce novel examples of Anosov flows on suitable roots of the unit tangent bundle of $(M,g)$ .

AbstractThe paper has two relatively distinct but connected goals; the first is to define the notion of Padé approximation of Weyl–Stiltjes transforms on an arbitrary compact Riemann surface of higher genus. The data consists of a contour in the Riemann surface and a measure on it, together with the additional datum of a local coordinate near a point and a divisor of degree g. The denominators of the resulting Padé-like approximation also satisfy an orthogonality relation and are sections of appropriate line bundles. A Riemann–Hilbert problem for a square matrix of rank two is shown to characterize these orthogonal sections, in a similar fashion to the ordinary orthogonal polynomial case. The second part extends this idea to explore its connection to integrable systems. The same data can be used to define a pairing between two sequences of line bundles. The locus in the deformation space where the pairing becomes degenerate for fixed degree coincides with the zeros of a “tau” function. We show how this tau function satisfies the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili hierarchy with respect to either deformation parameters, and a certain modification of the 2-Toda hierarchy when considering the whole sequence of tau functions. We also show how this construction is related to the Krichever construction of algebro-geometric solutions.
