Stable Norms of Non-orientable Surfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the stable norm on the first homology of a closed, non-orientable surface equipped with a Riemannian metric. We prove that in every conformal class there exists a metric whose stable norm is polyhedral. Furthermore the stable norm is never strictly convex if the first Betti number of the surface is greater than two.

A Narasimhan - Seshadri - Donaldson Correspondence Over Non - orientable Surfaces
The correspondence between Yang-Mills connections and stable bundles is generalized from orientable to non-orientable surfaces. The theory of d-holomorphic bundles is constructed arising from this generalization. 1991 MS Classification: 53C07, 58E15, 57S17, 14H60.
متن کاملHomological Stability for the Mapping Class Groups of Non-orientable Surfaces
We prove that the homology of the mapping class groups of non-orientable surfaces stabilizes with the genus of the surface. Combining our result with recent work of Madsen and Weiss, we obtain that the classifying space of the stable mapping class group of non-orientable surfaces, up to homology isomorphism, is the infinite loop space of a Thom spectrum built from the canonical bundle over the ...
متن کاملTwisted Link Theory
We introduce stable equivalence classes of oriented links in orientable three-manifolds that are orientation I -bundles over closed but not necessarily orientable surfaces. We call these twisted links, and show that they subsume the virtual knots introduced by L. Kauffman, and the projective links introduced by Yu. Drobotukhina. We show that these links have unique minimal genus three-manifolds...
متن کاملCompact Non-orientable Surfaces of Genus 6 with Extremal Metric Discs
A compact hyperbolic surface of genus g is said to be extremal if it admits an extremal disc, a disc of the largest radius determined only by g. We discuss how many extremal discs are embedded in non-orientable extremal surfaces of genus 6. This is the final genus in our interest because it is already known for g = 3, 4, 5, or g > 6. We show that non-orientable extremal surfaces of genus 6 admi...
متن کاملLengths of Geodesics on Non-orientable Hyperbolic Surfaces
We give an identity involving sums of functions of lengths of simple closed geodesics, known as a McShane identity, on any non-orientable hyperbolic surface with boundary which generalises Mirzakhani’s identities on orientable hyperbolic surfaces with boundary.
