A black-box program for the explicit calculation of Riemann matrices of arbitrary compact connected Riemann surfaces is presented. All such Riemann surfaces are represented as plane algebraic curves. These algebraic curves are allowed to have arbitrary singularities. The method of calculation of the Riemann matrix is essentially its deenition: we numerically integrate the holomorphic diierentia...

In this paper, we present some new relationships between graph theory and the geometry of Riemann surfaces. For the most part, we present these relationships in terms of questions and open problems. Since these questions have arisen from a number of recent developments, we also describe these developments so as to provide a context for these questions. In fact, our main interest here is to pres...

There are surprisingly rich properties of these holomorphic functions. The possibility of holomorphic continuation of holomorphic functions forces us to consider multi-valued holomorphic functions. The concept of Riemann Surfaces was introduced to understand such phenomena. The ideas of branch cuts and branch points immediately relate topology of these surfaces to complex variables. The possibi...

We are solving the classical Riemann-Hilbert problem of rank N > 1 on the extended complex plane punctured in 2m + 2 points, for N × N quasi-permutation monodromy matrices. Our approach is based on the finite gap integration method applied to study the Riemann-Hilbert by Kitaev and Korotkin [1], Deift, Its, Kapaev and Zhou [2] and Korotkin, [3]. This permits us to solve the Riemann-Hilbert prob...

We start by pointing out that certain Riemann surfaces appear rather naturally in the context of wave equations in the black hole background. For a given black hole there are two closely related surfaces. One is the Riemann surface of complexified “tortoise” coordinate. The other Riemann surface appears when the radial wave equation is interpreted as the Fuchsian differential equation. We study...

We prove results on geodesic metric spaces which guarantee that some spaces are not hyperbolic in the Gromov sense. We use these theorems in order to study the hyperbolicity of Riemann surfaces. We obtain a criterion on the genus of a surface which implies non-hyperbolicity. We also include a characterization of the hyperbolicity of a Riemann surface S∗ obtained by deleting a closed set from on...

A closed hyperbolic Riemann surfaceM is said to beK-quasiconformally homogeneous if there exists a transitive family F of K-quasiconformal homeomorphisms. Further, if all [f ] ⊂ F act trivially on H1(M ;Z), we say M is Torelli-K-quasiconformally homogeneous. We prove the existence of a uniform lower bound on K for Torelli-K-quasiconformally homogeneous Riemann surfaces. This is a special case o...

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 ...
