In this paper continuing our work started in our earlier papers we prove the corona theorem for the algebra of bounded holomorphic functions defined on an unbranched covering of a Caratheodory hyperbolic Riemann surface of finite type.
The solvability of the Riemann-Hilbert boundary value problem on the real line is described in the case when its matrix coefficient admits a Wiener-Hopf type factorization with bounded outer factors but rather general diagonal elements of its middle factor. This covers, in particular, the almost periodic setting. Connections with the corona problem are discussed. Based on those, constructive factorization criteria are derived for several types of triangular 2-by-2 matrices.
We prove that the Bass stable rank of the algebra of bounded holomorphic functions on an unbranched covering of a finite bordered Riemann surface is equal to one.
In the present paper continuing our previous work we prove an extension theorem for matrices with entries in the algebra of bounded holomorphic functions defined on an unbranched covering of a Caratheodory hyperbolic Riemann surface of finite type.
Let $M$ be a non-compact connected Riemann surface of finite type, and $R\subset\subset M$ be a relatively compact domain such that $H_{1}(M,\Z)=H_{1}(R,\Z)$. Let $\tilde R\longrightarrow R$ be a covering. We study the algebra $H^{\infty}(U)$ of bounded holomorphic functions defined in some domains $U\subset\tilde R$. Our main result is a Forelli type theorem on projections in $H^{\infty}(\Di)$.
Let R be a hyperbolic Riemann surface with boundary $\partial R$ and suppose that $γ:[0,T]\to R\cup\partial R$ is a simple curve growing from the boundary of R. By lifting $R_{t}=R\setminus γ(0,t]$ to the universal covering space of R (which we assume is the upper half-plane $\mathbb{H}=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:Im[z]>0\}$) via the covering map $π:\mathbb{H}\to R$, we can define a family of simply-connected domains $D_{t}=π^{-1}(R_{t})$. For each $t\in[0,T]$, suppose that f_{t} is a conformal map of \mathbb{H} onto D_{t} such that f(z,t)=f_{t}(z) is differentiable almost everywhere in (0,T) with respec…
The aim of this paper is to present a few versions of the Riemann-Hurwitz formula for a regular branched covering of graphs. By a graph, we mean a finite connected multigraph. The genus of a graph is defined as the rank of the first homology group. We consider a finite group acting on a graph, possibly with fixed and invertible edges, and the respective factor graph. Then, the obtained Riemann-Hurwitz formula relates genus of the graph with genus of the factor graph and orders of the vertex and edge stabilisers.
Given a closed Riemann surface $Σ$ equipped with a volume form $ω$, we construct a natural probability measure on the space $\mathcal{M}_d(Σ)$ of degree $d$ branched coverings from $Σ$ to the Riemann sphere $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^1.$ We prove a large deviations principle for the number of critical points in a given open set $U\subset Σ$: given any sequence $ε_d$ of positive numbers, the probability that the number of critical points of a branched covering deviates from $2d\cdot\textrm{Vol}(U)$ more than $ε_d$ is smaller than $\exp(-C_Uε^3_d d)$, for some positive constant $C_U$. In particular, …
We obtain several results about stability of the Bergman kernel on a tower of coverings on complex manifolds. An effective version of Rhodes' result is given for a tower of coverings on a compact Riemann surface of genus greater than or equal to 2. Stability of the Bergman kernel is established for towers of coverings on hyperbolic Riemann surfaces and on complete Kaehler manifolds satisfying certain potential conditions. As a consequence, stability of the Bergman kernel is established for any tower of coverings of Riemann surfaces when the top manifold is simply-connected.
We establish basic results of complex function theory within certain algebras of holomorphic functions on coverings of Stein manifolds (such as algebras of Bohr's holomorphic almost periodic functions on tube domains or algebras of all fibrewise bounded holomorphic functions arising, e.g., in the corona problem for $H^\infty$). In particular, in this context we obtain results on holomorphic extension from complex submanifolds, properties of divisors, corona type theorems, holomorphic analogues of the Peter-Weyl approximation theorem, Hartogs type theorems, characterizations of uniqueness sets,…
We develop complex function theory within certain algebras of holomorphic functions on coverings of Stein manifolds. This, in particular, includes the results on holomorphic extension from complex submanifolds, corona type theorems, properties of divisors, holomorphic analogs of the Peter-Weyl approximation theorem, Hartogs type theorems, characterization of uniqueness sets. The model examples of these algebras are: (1) Bohr's algebra of holomorphic almost periodic functions on tube domains; (2) algebra of all fibrewise bounded holomorphic functions (e.g., arising in the corona problem for $H^…
In this paper, we construct new examples of Veech groups by extending Schmithusen's method for calculating Veech groups of origamis to Veech groups of unramified finite coverings of regular 2n-gons. We calculate the Veech groups of certain Abelian coverings of regular 2n-gons by using an algebraic method.
This is a course of lectures given for students of the Regional Mathematical Center of the Novosibirsk State University from October 20 to November 3, 2017. The course is devoted to some geometric problems of ramified coverings of the Riemann sphere. A special attention is payed to compact surfaces of genus one (complex tori). In the first section we give a short introduction to the theory of elliptic functions. Section 2 is devoted to one-parametric families of holomorphic and meromorphic functions. We recall the role of such families on Loewner's equation in solving some problems of the theo…
This paper is devoted to characterizing complex projective structures defined on Riemann surface orbifolds and giving rise to injective developing maps defined on the monodromy covering of the surface (orbifold) in question. The relevance of these structures stems from several problems involving vector fields with uniform solutions as well as from problems about "simultaneous uniformization" for leaves of foliations by Riemann surfaces. In this paper, we first describe the local structure of the mentioned projective structures showing, in particular, that they are locally bounded. In the case …
Our aim in this paper is to provide a theory of discrete Riemann surfaces based on quadrilateral cellular decompositions of Riemann surfaces together with their complex structure encoded by complex weights. Previous work, in particular of Mercat, mainly focused on real weights corresponding to quadrilateral cells having orthogonal diagonals. We discuss discrete coverings, discrete exterior calculus, and discrete Abelian integrals. Our presentation includes several new notions and results such as branched coverings of discrete Riemann surfaces, the discrete Riemann-Hurwitz Formula, double poles…
The main goal of this article is to relate asymptotic geometric properties on a tower of coverings of a non-compact Kähler manifold of finite volume with reasonable geometric assumptions to its universal covering. Applicable examples include moduli spaces of hyperbolic punctured Riemann surfaces and Hermitian locally symmetric spaces of finite volume.
Let Y be a regular covering of a complex projective manifold M\hookrightarrow CP^{N} of dimension n\geq 2. Let C be intersection with M of at most n-1 generic hypersurfaces of degree d in CP^{N}. The preimage X of C in Y is a connected submanifold. Let H^{\infty}(Y) and H^{\infty}(X) be the Banach spaces of bounded holomorphic functions on Y and X in the corresponding supremum norms. We prove that the restriction H^{\infty}(Y)\longrightarrow H^{\infty}(X) is an isometry for d large enough. This answers the question posed in [L] by F. Larusson and strengthen his example of the Riemann surface w…
Branched covering Riemann surfaces $(\mathbb{C},f)$ are studied, where $f$ is the Euler Gamma function and the Riemann Zeta function. For both of them fundamental domains are found and the group of covering transformations is revealed. In order to find fundamental domains, pre-images of the real axis are taken and a thorough study of their geometry is performed. The technique of simultaneous continuation, introduced by the authors in previous papers, is used for this purpose. Color visualization of the conformal mapping of the complex plane by these functions is used for a better understanding…
The logarithmic Riemann surface Sigma_{log} is a classical holomorphic 1-manifold. It lives into R^4 and induces a covering space of C - 0 defined by exp. This paper suggests a geometric construction of it, derived as the limit of a sequence of vector fields extending exp suitably to embeddings of C into R^3, which turn to be helicoid surfaces living into C x R. In the limit we obtain a bijective complex exponential on the covering space in question, and thus a well-defined complex logarithm. In addition, the helicoids are diffeomorphic (not bi-holomorphic) copies of Sigma_{log} as smooth real…
To any compact hyperbolic Riemann surface $X$, we associate a new type of automorphism group -- called its *commensurability automorphism group*, $ComAut(X)$. The members of $ComAut(X)$ arise from closed circuits, starting and ending at $X$, where the edges represent holomorphic covering maps amongst compact connected Riemann surfaces (and the vertices represent the covering surfaces). This group turns out to be the isotropy subgroup, at the point represented by $X$ (in $T_{\infty}$), for the action of the universal commensurability modular group on the universal direct limit of Teichmüller sp…
In this paper we study the deformation problem of pairs consisting of a Riemann surface and a holomorphic line bundle over that surface, and also sections thereof. We emphasize a constructive approach throughout and work and use covering space techniques. In particular, we also describe the limits of such degenerations as the boundary of Teichmüller space is approached, and review the construction of augmented Teichmüller space in great detail.
We study the Kähler geometry of the classical Hurwitz space $\mathcal{H}^{n,b}$ of simple branched coverings of the Riemann sphere $\mathbb{P}^1$ by compact hyperbolic Riemann surfaces. A generalized Weil-Petersson metric on the Hurwitz space was recently introduced. Deformations of simple branched coverings fit into the more general framework of Horikawa's deformation theory of holomorphic maps, which we equip with distinguished representatives in the presence of hermitian metrics. In the article we will investigate the curvature of the generalized Weil-Petersson Kähler metric on the Hurwitz …
In the paper we prove an extension theorem for matrices with entries in H^{\infty}(U) for U being a Riemann surface of a special type. One of the main components of the proof is a Grauert type theorem for "holomorphic" vector bundles defined over maximal ideal spaces of certain Banach algebras. The proof is also based on the results of A.Brudnyi "Projections in the Space H^{\infty} and the Corona Theorem for Coverings of Bordered Riemann Surfaces" (see my previous submissions here).
Riemann surfaces which are set by algebraic, algebroid and inverse functions are considered. A method for describing these Riemann surfaces by graphs is proposed. Each such Riemann surface is assigned to a special type of graph - profile. In terms of graph theory, the necessary and sufficient conditions of profile existence are clarified. The conditions of a one-to-one correspondence between Riemann surfaces and profiles are formulated. In the graph theory terminology the criterion of profiles existence is formulated and proved. The resulting criterion can be used as a criterion of existence o…
