Riemann Surfaces and Af -algebras

چکیده
For a generic set in the Teichmüller space, we construct a covariant functor with the range in a category of the operator AF -algebras. The functor maps isomorphic Riemann surfaces to the stably isomorphic AF algebras. Our construction is based on a Hodge theory for measured foliations, elaborated by Hubbard, Masur and Thurston. As an application, we consider the following two problems: (i) a categorical correspondence between complex and noncommutative tori and (ii) faithful representation of the mapping class group of genus g ≥ 2 as a subgroup of the matrix group GL6g−6(Z).

متن کاملGeodesic laminations and Bratteli diagrams of AF C*-algebras
Geodesic laminations is a remarkable abstraction (due to W. P. Thurston) of many otherwise unrelated phenomena occurring in differential geometry, complex analysis and geometric topology. In this article we focus on connections of geodesic laminations with the inductive limits of finite-dimensional semi-simple C-algebras (AF C-algebras). Our main result is a bijection between combinatorial pres...

It is shown, that the mapping class group of a surface of the genus g ≥ 2 admits a faithful representation into the matrix group GL6g−6(Z). The proof is based on a categorical correspondence between the Riemann surfaces and the AF -algebras.
متن کاملCompact Riemann Surfaces: a Threefold Categorical Equivalence
We define and prove basic properties of Riemann surfaces, which we follow with a discussion of divisors and an elementary proof of the RiemannRoch theorem for compact Riemann surfaces. The Riemann-Roch theorem is used to prove the existence of a holomorphic embedding from any compact Riemann surface into n-dimensional complex projective space Pn. Using comparison principles such as Chow’s theor...
متن کاملRiemann surfaces with boundaries and the theory of vertex operator algebras
The connection between Riemann surfaces with boundaries and the theory of vertex operator algebras is discussed in the framework of conformal field theories defined by Kontsevich and Segal and in the framework of their generalizations in open string theory and boundary conformal field theory. We present some results, problems, conjectures, their conceptual implications and meanings in a program...
