In the theory of automorphic functions for a properly discontinuous group G of linear transformations, the Poincaré theta series plays an essential role, since the convergence problem of the series occupies an important part of the theory. This problem was treated by many mathematicians such as Poincaré, Burnside [2], Fricke [4], Myrberg [6], [7] and others. Poincaré proved that the (-2m)-dimensional Poincaré theta series always converges if m is a positive integer greater than 2, and Burnside treated the problem and conjectured that ( -2)-dimensional Poincaré theta series always converges if G is a Schottky group. This conjecture was solved negatively by Myrberg. As is shown later (Theorem A), the convergence of Poincaré theta series gives an information on a metrical property of the singular set of the group.

AbstractWe systematically study Schottky group actions on homogeneous rational manifolds and find two new families besides those given by Nori’s well-known construction. This yields new examples of non-Kähler compact complex manifolds having free fundamental groups. We then investigate their analytic and geometric invariants such as the Kodaira and algebraic dimension, the Picard group and the deformation theory, thus extending results due to Lárusson and to Seade and Verjovsky. As a byproduct, we see that the Schottky construction allows to recover examples of equivariant compactifications of {{\rm{SL}}(2,\mathbb{C})/\Gamma} for Γ a discrete free loxodromic subgroup of {{\rm{SL}}(2,\mathbb{C})}, previously obtained by A. Guillot.

In the theory of automorphic functions it is important to investigate the properties of the singular sets of the properly discontinuous groups. But we seem to know nothing about the size or structure of the singular sets of Kleinian groups except the results due to Myrberg and Akaza [1], which state that the singular set has positive capacity and there exist Kleinian groups whose singular sets have positive 1-dimensional measure. In our recent paper [2], we proved the existence of Kleinian groups with fundamental domains bounded by five circles whose singular sets have positive 1-dimensional measure and presented the problem whether there exist or not such groups in the case of four circles. The purpose of this paper is to solve this problem. Here we note that, by Schottky’s condition [4], the 1-dimensional measure of the singular set is always zero in the case of three circles.

We show that non-occurrence of the Lavrentiev phenomenon does not imply that the singular set is small. Precisely, given a compact Lebesgue null subsetE⊆ ℝ and an arbitrary superlinearity, there exists a smooth strictly convex Lagrangian with this superlinear growth such that all minimizers of the associated variational problem have singular set exactlyEbut still admit approximation in energy by smooth functions.

If $S$ is a quintic surface in $\mathbb{P}^{3}$ with singular set 15 3-divisible ordinary cusps, then there is a Galois triple cover ${\it\phi}:X\rightarrow S$ branched only at the cusps such that $p_{g}(X)=4$, $q(X)=0$, $K_{X}^{2}=15$ and ${\it\phi}$ is the canonical map of $X$. We use computer algebra to search for such quintics having a free action of $\mathbb{Z}_{5}$, so that $X/\mathbb{Z}_{5}$ is a smooth minimal surface of general type with $p_{g}=0$ and $K^{2}=3$. We find two different quintics, one of which is the van der Geer–Zagier quintic; the other is new.We also construct a quintic threefold passing through the 15 singular lines of the Igusa quartic, with 15 cuspidal lines there. By taking tangent hyperplane sections, we compute quintic surfaces with singular sets $17\mathsf{A}_{2}$, $16\mathsf{A}_{2}$, $15\mathsf{A}_{2}+\mathsf{A}_{3}$ and $15\mathsf{A}_{2}+\mathsf{D}_{4}$.

Let us consider a pair (S, H) consisting of a closed Riemann surface S and an Abelian group H of conformal automorphisms of S. We are interested in finding uniformizations of S, via Schottky groups, which reflect the action of the group H. A Schottky uniformization of a closed Riemann surface S is a triple (Ώ, G, π:Ώ→S) where G is a Schottky group with Ώ as its region ofdiscontinuity and π:Ώ→S is a holomorphic covering with G ascovering group. We look for a Schottky uniformization (Ώ, G, π:Ώ→S) of S such that for each transformation h in H there exists an automorphisms t of Ώ satisfying h ∘ π = π ∘ t.

A formula for the generalized Schwarz–Christoffel mapping from a bounded multiply connected circular domain to a bounded multiply connected polygonal domain is derived. The theory of classical Schottky groups is employed. The formula for the derivative of the mapping function contains a product of powers of Schottky–Klein prime functions associated with a Schottky group relevant to the circular pre-image domain. The formula generalizes, in a natural way, the known mapping formulae for simply and doubly connected polygonal domains.

In our paper Cl] we showed that there exist Schottky groups whose singular sets have positive 1-dimensional measure. Since the example was very complicated, it is natural to seek for simpler examples. Further the problem how about the singular sets of more general groups occurs.
