The Role of Funnels and Punctures in the Gromov Hyperbolicity of Riemann Surfaces

چکیده
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 one original surface S. In the particular case when the closed set is a union of continua and isolated points, the results clarify the role of punctures and funnels (and other more general ends) in the hyperbolicity of Riemann surfaces.

On the ideal triangulation graph of a punctured surface
We study the ideal triangulation graph T (S) of a punctured surface S of finite type. We show that if S is not the sphere with at most three punctures or the torus with one puncture, then the natural map from the extended mapping class group of S into the simplicial automorphism group of T (S) is an isomorphism. We also show that under the same conditions on S, the graph T (S) equipped with its...
متن کاملConformal modes in simplicial quantum gravity and the Weil-Petersson volume of moduli space
Our goal here is to present a detailed analysis connecting the anomalous scaling properties of 2D simplicial quantum gravity to the geometry of the moduli space Mg,N0 of genus g Riemann surfaces with N0 punctures. In the case of pure gravity we prove that the scaling properties of the set of dynamical triangulations with N0 vertices are directly provided by the large N0 asymptotics of the Weil-...
متن کاملOn Riemann surfaces of genus g with 4g automorphisms
We determine, for all genus g ≥ 2 the Riemann surfaces of genus g with exactly 4g automorphisms. For g 6= 3, 6, 12, 15 or 30, this surfaces form a real Riemann surface Fg in the moduli space Mg: the Riemann sphere with three punctures. We obtain the automorphism groups and extended automorphism groups of the surfaces in the family. Furthermore we determine the topological types of the real form...
متن کاملComputing the Gromov hyperbolicity of a discrete metric space
We give exact and approximation algorithms for computing the Gromov hyperbolicity of an n-point discrete metric space. We observe that computing the Gromov hyperbolicity from a fixed base-point reduces to a (max,min) matrix product. Hence, using the (max,min) matrix product algorithm by Duan and Pettie, the fixed base-point hyperbolicity can be determined in O(n) time. It follows that the Gromo...
متن کاملHeterotic Matrix String Theory and Riemann Surfaces
We extend the results found for Matrix String Theory to Heterotic Matrix String Theory, i.e. to a 2d O(N) SYM theory with chiral (anomaly free) matter and N = (8, 0) supersymmetry. We write down the instanton equations for this theory and solve them explicitly. The solutions are characterized by branched coverings of the basis cylinder, i.e. by compact Riemann surfaces with punctures. We show t...
