Discrete Groups and Riemann Surfaces
نویسنده
چکیده
These notes summarize four expository lectures delivered at the Advanced School of the ICTS Program Groups, Geometry and Dynamics, December, 2012, Almora, India. The target audience was a group of students at or near the end of a traditional undergraduate math major. My purpose was to expose the types of discrete groups that arise in connection with Riemann surfaces. I have not hesitated to shorten or omit proofs, especially in the later sections, where I thought completeness would interrupt the narrative flow. References and a guide to the literature are provided for the reader who demands all the details.

Complex Hyperbolic Manifolds Homotopy Equivalent to a Riemann Surface
We construct actions of fundamental groups of Riemann surfaces by automorphisms of the complex hyperbolic plane, which realize all possible values of Toledo's invariant. For integer values of these actions are discrete embeddings. The quotient complex hyperbolic surfaces are disc bundles over Riemann surfaces, whose topological type is determined in terms of .
متن کاملCrystallography and Riemann Surfaces
The level set of an elliptic function is a doubly periodic point set in C. To obtain a wider spectrum of point sets, we consider, more generally, a Riemann surface S immersed in C2 and its sections (“cuts”) by C. We give S a crystallographic isometry in C2 by defining a fundamental surface element as a conformal map of triangular domains and S as its extension by reflections in the triangle edg...
متن کاملExamensarbete Algorithmic Construction of Fundamental Polygons for Certain Fuchsian Groups
The work of mathematical giants, such as Lobachevsky, Gauss, Riemann, Klein and Poincaré, to name a few, lies at the foundation of the study of the highly structured Riemann surfaces, which allow definition of holomorphic maps, corresponding to analytic maps in the theory of complex analysis. A topological result of Poincaré states that every path-connected Riemann surface can be realised by a ...
متن کاملA more accurate half-discrete Hardy-Hilbert-type inequality with the best possible constant factor related to the extended Riemann-Zeta function
By the method of weight coefficients, techniques of real analysis and Hermite-Hadamard's inequality, a half-discrete Hardy-Hilbert-type inequality related to the kernel of the hyperbolic cosecant function with the best possible constant factor expressed in terms of the extended Riemann-zeta function is proved. The more accurate equivalent forms, the operator expressions with the norm, the rever...
متن کاملMaximal harmonic group actions on finite graphs
This paper studies groups of maximal size acting harmonically on a finite graph. Our main result states that these maximal graph groups are exactly the finite quotients of the modular group Γ = 〈 x, y | x = y = 1 〉 of size at least 6. This characterization may be viewed as a discrete analogue of the description of Hurwitz groups as finite quotients of the (2, 3, 7)-triangle group in the context...
