In this article, to each generic real meromorphic function (i.e., having only simple branch points in the appropriate sense) we associate a certain combinatorial gadget which we call the park of a function. We show that the park determines the topological type of the generic real meromorphic function and that the set of all parks is in $1-1$-correspondence with the set of all connected components in the space of generic real meromorphic functions. For any of the above components, we introduce and calculate the corresponding Hurwitz number. Finally as a consequence of our results we determine the topological types of real meromorphic functions from monodromy of orbifold coverings.
Klein foams are analogues of Riemann surfaces for surfaces with one-dimensional singularities. They first appeared in mathematical physics (string theory etc.). By definition a Klein foam is constructed from Klein surfaces by gluing segments on their boundaries. We show that, a Klein foam is equivalent to a family of real forms of a complex algebraic curve with some structures. This correspondence reduces investigations of Klein foams to investigations of real forms of Riemann surfaces. We use known properties of real forms of Riemann surfaces to describe some topological and analytic properties of Klein foams.
Consider a real algebraic curve with set of real points $R\neq\emptyset$ and complexification $P\supset R$. Let $f$ be an algebraic function on $P$ with devisor of critical points $D\subset P$. We prove that $f$ is real after a linear-factorial transformation, if $D$ is symmetrical with respect to $R$ and $f(p)=f(p')$ for symmetrical points $p,p'\in D$. In particulary, this gives a proof of Boris and Michael Shapiro conjecture (2002).
In 2001 Ivanov and Kerov associated with the infinite permutation group $S_\infty$ certain commutative associative algebra $A_\infty$ called the algebra of conjugacy classes of partial elements. A standard basis of $A_\infty$ is labeled by Yang diagrams of all orders. Mironov, Morozov, Natanzon, 2012, have proved that the completion of $A_\infty$ is isomorphic to the direct product of centers of group algebras of groups $S_n$. This isomorphism was explored in a construction of infinite dimensional Cardy-Frobenius algebra corresponding to asymptotic Hurwitz numbers. In this work algebras of conjugacy classes of partial elements are defined for a wider class of infinite groups. It is proven that completion of any such algebra is isomorphic to the direct product of centers of group algebras of relevant subgroups.
We show that any complex (respectively real) representation of finite group naturally generates a open-closed (respectively Klein) topological field theory over complex numbers. We relate the 1-point correlator for the projective plane in this theory with the Frobenius-Schur indicator on the representation. We relate any complex simple Klein TFT to a real division ring.
Klein foams are analogues of Riemann and Klein surfaces with one-dimensional singularities. We prove that the field of dianalytic functions on a Klein foam $Ω$ coincides with the field of dianalytic functions on a Klein surface $K_Ω$. We construct the moduli space of Klein foams and we prove that the set of classes of topologically equivalent Klein foams form an analytic space homeomorphic to $\mathbb{R}^{n}/\mathsf{Mod}$, where $\mathsf{Mod}$ is a discrete group.
We expand Topological Field Theory on some special CW-complexes (brane complexes). This Brane Topological Field Theory one-to-one corresponds to infinite dimensional Frobenius Algebras, graduated by CW-complexes of lesser dimension. We define general and regular Hurwitz numbers of brane complexes and prove that they generate Brane Topological Field Theories. For general Hurwitz numbers corresponding algebra is an algebra of coverings of lesser dimension. For regular Hurwitz numbers the Frobenius algebra is an algebra of families of subgroups of finite groups.
