Entropy on Riemann surfaces and the Jacobians of finite covers
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper characterizes those pseudo-Anosov mappings whose entropy can be detected homologically by taking a limit over finite covers. The proof is via complex-analytic methods. The same methods show the natural map Mg → Ah, which sends a Riemann surface to the Jacobians of all of its finite covers, is a contraction in most directions.

30 years of finite-gap integration theory.
The method of finite-gap integration was created to solve the periodic KdV initial problem. Its development during last 30 years, combining the spectral theory of differential and difference operators with periodic coefficients, the algebraic geometry of compact Riemann surfaces and their Jacobians, the Riemann theta functions and inverse problems, had a strong impact on the evolution of modern...
متن کاملDiscrete uniformization of finite branched covers over the Riemann sphere via hyper-ideal circle patterns
With the help of hyper-ideal circle pattern theory, we have developed a discrete version of the classical uniformization theorems for surfaces represented as finite branched covers over the Riemann sphere as well as compact polyhedral surfaces with non-positive curvature. We show that in the case of such surfaces discrete uniformization via hyper-ideal circle patterns always exists and is uniqu...
متن کاملSeparation of Variables and the Geometry of Jacobians
This survey examines separation of variables for algebraically integrable Hamiltonian systems whose tori are Jacobians of Riemann surfaces. For these cases there is a natural class of systems which admit separations in a nice geometric sense. This class includes many of the well-known cases.
متن کاملWhat Is the Jacobian of a Riemann Surface with Boundary?
We define the Jacobian of a Riemann surface with analytically parametrized boundary components. These Jacobians belong to a moduli space of “open abelian varieties” which satisfies gluing axioms similar to those of Riemann surfaces, and therefore allows a notion of “conformal field theory” to be defined on this space. We further prove that chiral conformal field theories corresponding to even l...

Preface Why we called the class of two-dimensional Shimura varieties, which are not Hilbert modular, "Picard modular surfaces" ? In the mean time the name has been generally accepted, see e.g. Langlands (and others) L-R]. On the one hand Picard worked on special Fuchsian systems of diierential equations; on the other hand Shimura Shi] introduced and investigated moduli spaces of abelian varieti...
