A Lagrangian for the two-dimensional vortex gas is derived from a general microscopic Lagrangian for 4 He atoms on an arbitrary compact Riemann Surface without boundary. In the constant density limit the vortex Hamiltonian obtained from this Lagrangian is found to be the same as the Kosterlitz and Thouless Coulombic interaction Hamiltonian. The partition function for the Kosterlitz–Thouless ensemble on the general compact is formulated and mapped into the sine–Gordon field theory.

The radius dependence of partition functions is explicitly evaluated in the continuum field theory of a compactified boson, interacting with two-dimensional quantum gravity (noncritical string) on Riemann surfaces for the first few genera. The partition function for the torus is found to be a sum of terms proportional to R and 1/R. This is in agreement with the result of a discretized version (matrix models), but is quite different from the critical string. The supersymmetric case is also explicitly evaluated.

AbstractLet be a compact Riemann surface, be the complement of a nonvoid finite subset of and A() be the ring of finite sums of meromorphic functions in with finite divisor. In this paper it is proved that every nonzero f ∈ A() can be decomposed as a product αβ, where α is either a unit or a product of powers of irreducible elements of A(), uniquely determined by f up to multiplication by units, and β is a product of functions of the type eφ – 1, with φ holomorphic and nonconstant in . Furthermore, a similar result is obtained for a certain class of subrings of A().

The purpose of this article is to prove the following theorem:Let n be a positive integer larger than or equal to 2, and let S be the unit sphere in the 2n + 1 dimensional Euclidean space. Given a compact Riemann surface, we can always find a conformal and minimal immersion of the surface into S whose image is not lying in any 2n — 1 dimensional hyperplane.This is a partial generalization of the result by R. L. Bryant. In this papers, he demonstrates the existence of a conformal and minimal immersion of a compact Riemann surface into S2n, which is generically 1:1, when n = 2 ([2]) and n = 3 ([1]).

We prove that the projection map of an orientable sphere bundle, over a compact Riemann surface, of any homotopy type can be realized as a harmonic morphism with totally geodesic fibres.

The instanton sum in the partition function for D bosons on a Riemann surface of genus g, with values in a general D-dimensional torus, TD = RD/ΛD is given explicitly. When the rational metric Q of the lattice, ΛD, is the identity we get the bosonization formula of Alvarez-Gaumé et al. for SO( 2D ). If Q is orthogonal, in the bosonization formula, we get the theta function associated with the quadratic form Q, if Q is generic we get rational Conformal Field Theory. Also we look for conditions on a twisted spin bundle LE, which may ensure that our partition functions arise from some generalized bosonization formulas.

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.

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.

Abstract We consider a compact Riemann surface R of arbitrary genus, with a finite number of non-overlapping quasicircles, which separate R into two subsets: a connected Riemann surface $$\Sigma $$ Σ , and the union $$\mathcal {O}$$ O of a finite collection of simply connected regions. We prove that the Schiffer integral operator mapping the Bergman space of anti-holomorphic one-forms on $$\mathcal {O}$$ O to the Bergman space of holomorphic forms on $$\Sigma $$ Σ is an isomorphism onto the exact one-forms, when restricted to the orthogonal complement of the set of forms on all of R. We then apply this to prove versions of the Plemelj–Sokhotski isomorphism and jump decomposition for such a configuration. Finally we obtain some approximation theorems for the Bergman space of one-forms and Dirichlet space of holomorphic functions on $$\Sigma $$ Σ by elements of Bergman space and Dirichlet space on fixed regions in R containing $$\Sigma $$ Σ .

A compact Riemann surfaceXof genusg>1is said to bep-hyperellipticifXadmits a conformal involutionρ, for whichX/ρis an orbifold of genusp. If in additionXisq-hyperelliptic, then we say thatXispq-hyperelliptic. Here we study conformal actions onpq-hyperelliptic Riemann surfaces with centralp- andq-hyperelliptic involutions.
