This chapter deals with Riemann surfaces, coverings, and hypergeometric functions. It first considers the genus and Euler number of a Riemann surface before discussing Möbius transformations and notes that an automorphism of a Riemann surface is a biholomorphic map of the Riemann surface onto itself. It then describes a Riemannian metric and the Gauss-Bonnet theorem, which can be interpreted as a relation between the Gaussian curvature of a compact Riemann surface X and its Euler characteristic. It also examines the behavior of the Euler number under finite covering, along with finite subgroups of the group of fractional linear transformations PSL(2, C). Finally, it presents some basic facts about the classical Gauss hypergeometric functions of one complex variable, triangle groups acting discontinuously on one of the simply connected Riemann surfaces, and the hypergeometric monodromy group.

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 .

Conformal Equivalence

It is well-known that the conformal equivalence of a compact simply-connected Riemann surface to the extended plane is readily established once it is shown that given a local uniformizer t(p) which carries a given point p0 of the surface into 0, there exists a function u harmonic on the surface save at p0 which admits near p0 a representation of the form(α complex 0; h harmonic at p0). For the monodromy theorem then implies the existence of a meromorphic function on the surface whose real part is u. Such a meromorphic function has a simple pole at p0 and elsewhere is analytic. It defines a univalent conformal map of the surface onto the extended plane.

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.

The Given

A sufficient condition for the existence of holomorphic quadratic differential on a non-compact simply-connected Riemann surface with prescribed horizontal and vertical trees is obtained. In particular, for any pair of complete ℝ-trees of finite vertices with (n + 2) infinite edges, there exists a polynomial quadratic differential on ℂ of degree n such that the associated vertical and horizontal trees are isometric to the given pair.

Some years ago, Kuramochi gave in his paper [5] a very interesting theorem, which can be stated as follows.THEOREM OF KURAMOCHI. Let R be a hyperbolic Riemann surface of the class Of OHR(OHD,resp.). 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.).

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.

Let dμ be the harmonic measure on Γ with respect to a fixed point t0 on R. We shall consider the closed subspaces of L2(Γ, dμ) that are invariant under multiplication by functions in A (R) = ﹛F|F continuous on , analytic on R}.
