Given a compact connected Riemann surface [Formula: see text] of genus [Formula: see text], and an effective divisor [Formula: see text] on [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text], there is a unique cone metric on [Formula: see text] of constant negative curvature [Formula: see text] such that the cone angle at each point [Formula: see text] is [Formula: see text] [R. C. McOwen, Point singularities and conformal metrics on Riemann surfaces, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 103 (1988) 222–224; M. Troyanov, Prescribing curvature on compact surfaces with conical singularities, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 324 (1991) 793–821]. We describe the Higgs bundle on [Formula: see text] corresponding to the uniformization associated to this conical metric. We also give a family of Higgs bundles on [Formula: see text] parametrized by a nonempty open subset of [Formula: see text] that correspond to conical metrics of the above type on moving Riemann surfaces. These are inspired by Hitchin’s results in [N. J. Hitchin, The self-duality equations on a Riemann surface, Proc. London Math. Soc. 55 (1987) 59–126] for the case [Formula: see text].

Consider a Riemann surface of genus [Formula: see text] bordered by [Formula: see text] curves homeomorphic to the unit circle, and assume that [Formula: see text]. For such bordered Riemann surfaces, the authors have previously defined a Teichmüller space which is a Hilbert manifold and which is holomorphically included in the standard Teichmüller space. We show that any tangent vector can be represented as the derivative of a holomorphic curve whose representative Beltrami differentials are simultaneously in [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], and furthermore that the space of [Formula: see text] differentials in [Formula: see text] decomposes as a direct sum of infinitesimally trivial differentials and [Formula: see text] harmonic [Formula: see text] differentials. Thus the tangent space of this Teichmüller space is given by [Formula: see text] harmonic Beltrami differentials. We conclude that this Teichmüller space has a finite Weil–Petersson Hermitian metric. Finally, we show that the aforementioned Teichmüller space is locally modeled on a space of [Formula: see text] harmonic Beltrami differentials.

Higgs Fields

Considering a compact Riemann surface of genus greater or equal than two, a Higgs bundle is a pair composed of a holomorphic bundle over the Riemann surface, joint with an auxiliar vector field, so-called Higgs field. This theory started around thirty years ago, with Hitchin’s work, when he reduced the self-duality equations from dimension four to dimension two, and so, studied those equations over Riemann surfaces. Hitchin baptized those fields as Higgs fields because in the context of physics and gauge theory, they describe similar particles to those described by the Higgs bosson. Later, Simpson used the name Higgs bundle for a holomorphic bundle together with a Higgs field. Today, Higgs bundles are the subject of research in several areas such as non-abelian Hodge theory, Langlands, mirror symmetry, integrable systems, quantum field theory (QFT), among others. The main purposes here are to introduce these objects, and to present a brief but complete construction of the moduli space of Higgs bundles.

A compact Riemann surface [Formula: see text] of genus [Formula: see text] is called pseudo-real if it admits an anticonformal automorphism but no anticonformal involution. In this paper, we study pseudo-real [Formula: see text]-gonal Riemann surfaces of genera greater or equal to two; these surfaces have anticonformal automorphisms of prime order [Formula: see text] such that the quotient spaces have genus [Formula: see text].

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.

In the first part of this paper we find supergravity solutions corresponding to branes on worldvolumes of the form Rd×Σ where Σ is a Riemann surface. These theories arise when we wrap branes on holomorphic Riemann surfaces inside K3 or CY manifolds. In some cases the theory at low energies is a conformal field theory with two less dimensions. We find some non-singular supersymmetric compactifications of M-theory down to AdS5. We also propose a criterion for permissible singularities in supergravity solutions. In the second part of this paper, which can be read independently of the first, we show that there are no non-singular Randall-Sundrum or de-Sitter compactifications for large class of gravity theories.

Then, for any compact subset K of R such that R—K is connected, R—K as an open Riemann surface belongs to the class 0AB(OAD resp.).

This chapter explains the correspondence between local systems on a punctured Riemann surface with the structure group being a real reductive Lie group G, and parabolic G-Higgs bundles. The chapter describes the objects involved in this correspondence, taking some time to motivate them by recalling the definitions of G-Higgs bundles without parabolic structure and of parabolic vector bundles. Finally, it explains the relevant polystability condition and the correspondence between local systems and Higgs bundles.

In this paper we shall be concerned with the algebraic structure of certain rings of functions meromorphic on a non-compact (connected) Riemann surface Ω. In this setting, A = A(Ω) and K= K(Ω) denote (respectively) the ring of all complex-valued functions analytic on Ω and its field of quotients, the field of functions meromorphic on Ω. The rings considered here are those subrings of K containing A,which we term A-rings of K. Most of the results given here were previously announced without proof (15) and are contained in the author's doctoral dissertation (16), completed at the University of Illinois under the direction of Professor M. Heins, whose encouragement and advice are gratefully acknowledged.
