Hyperbolic Groups and Non-Compact Real Algebraic Curves

In this paper we study the spaces of non-compact real algebraic curves, i.e. pairs $(P,τ)$, where $P$ is a compact Riemann surface with a finite number of holes and punctures and $τ:P\to P$ is an anti-holomorphic involution. We describe the uniformisation of non-compact real algebraic curves by Fuchsian groups. We construct the spaces of non-compact real algebraic curves and describe their connected components. We prove that any connected component is homeomorphic to a quotient of a finite-dimensional real vector space by a discrete group and determine the dimensions of these vector spaces.

Integrable hierarchies associated to infinite families of Frobenius manifolds

We propose a new construction of an integrable hierarchy associated to any infinite series of Frobenius manifolds satisfying a certain stabilization condition. We study these hierarchies for Frobenius manifolds associated to $A_N$, $D_N$ and $B_N$ singularities. In the case of $A_N$ Frobenius manifolds our hierarchy turns out to coincide with the KP hierarchy; for $B_N$ Frobenius manifolds it coincides with the BKP hierarchy; and for $D_N$ hierarchy it is a certain reduction of the 2-component BKP hierarchy. As a side product to these results we illustrate the enumerative meaning of certain coefficients of $A_N$, $D_N$ and $B_N$ Frobenius potentials.

On framed simple purely real Hurwitz numbers

We present a study of real Hurwitz numbers enumerating a special kind of real meromorphic functions, which we call simple framed purely real functions. We deduce partial differential equations of cut-and-join type for generating functions for these numbers. We also construct a topological field theory for them.

Higher Spin Klein Surfaces

We find all m-spin structures on Klein surfaces of genus larger than one. An m-spin structure on a Riemann surface P is a complex line bundle on P whose m-th tensor power is the cotangent bundle of P. A Klein surface can be described by a pair (P,tau), where P is a Riemann surface and tau is an anti-holomorphic involution on P. An m-spin structure on a Klein surface (P,tau) is an m-spin structure on the Riemann surface P which is preserved under the action of the anti-holomorphic involution tau. We determine the conditions for the existence and give a complete description of all real m-spin structures on a Klein surface. In particular, we compute the number of m-spin structures on a Klein surface (P,tau) in terms of its natural topological invariants.

Moduli Spaces of Higher Spin Klein Surfaces

We study the connected components of the space of higher spin bundles on hyperbolic Klein surfaces. A Klein surface is a generalisation of a Riemann surface to the case of non-orientable surfaces or surfaces with boundary. The category of Klein surfaces is isomorphic to the category of real algebraic curves. An m-spin bundle on a Klein surface is a complex line bundle whose m-th tensor power is the cotangent bundle. The spaces of higher spin bundles on Klein surfaces are important because of their applications in singularity theory and real algebraic geometry, in particular for the study of real forms of Gorenstein quasi-homogeneous surface singularities. In this paper we describe all connected components of the space of higher spin bundles on hyperbolic Klein surfaces in terms of their topological invariants and prove that any connected component is homeomorphic to a quotient of a Euclidean space by a discrete group. We also discuss applications to real forms of Brieskorn-Pham singularities.

Double pants decompositions revisited

Double pants decompositions were introduced in our paper "Double pants decompositions of 2-surfaces" (Mosc. Math. J. 11 (2011), no. 2, 231-258, arXiv:1005.0073), together with a flip-twist groupoid acting on these decompositions. It was shown that flip-twist groupoid acts transitively on a certain topological class of the decompositions, however, recently Randich discovered a serious mistake in the proof. In this note we present a new proof of the result, accessible without reading the initial paper.

Moduli via double pants decompositions

We consider (local) parametrizations of Teichmuller space $T_{g,n}$ (of genus $g$ hyperbolic surfaces with $n$ boundary components) by lengths of $6g-6+3n$ geodesics. We find a large family of suitable sets of $6g-6+3n$ geodesics, each set forming a special structure called "admissible double pants decomposition". For admissible double pants decompositions containing no double curves we show that the lengths of curves contained in the decomposition determine the point of $T_{g,n}$ up to finitely many choices. Moreover, these lengths provide a local coordinate in a neighborhood of all points of $T_{g,n}\setminus X$, where $X$ is a union of $3g-3+n$ hypersurfaces. Furthermore, there exists a groupoid acting transitively on admissible double pants decompositions and generated by transformations exchanging only one curve of the decomposition. The local charts arising from different double pants decompositions compose an atlas covering the Teichmuller space. The gluings of the adjacent charts are coming from the elementary transformations of the decompositions, the gluing functions are algebraic. The same charts provide an atlas for a large part of the boundary strata in Deligne-Mumford compactification of the moduli space.

Double pants decompositions of 2-surfaces

We consider a union of two pants decompositions of the same orientable 2-dimensional surface of any genus g. Each pants decomposition corresponds to some handlebody bounded by this surface, so two pants decompositions correspond to a Heegaard splitting of a 3-manifold. We introduce a groupoid FT acting on double pants decompositions. This groupoid is generated by two simple transformations (called flips and handle twists), each transformation affecting only one curve of the double pants decomposition. We prove that FT acts transitively on all double pants decompositions corresponding to Heegaard splittings of a 3-dimensional sphere. As a corollary, the mapping class group is contained in FT.

Labeled double pants decompositions

A double pants decomposition of a 2-dimensional surface is a collection of two pants decomposition of this surface introduced in arXiv:1005.0073v2. There are two natural operations acting on double pants decompositions: flips and handle twists. It is shown in arXiv:1005.0073v2 that the groupoid generated by flips and handle twists acts transitively on admissible double pants decompositions where the class of admissible decompositions has a natural topological and combinatorial description. In this paper, we label the curves of double pants decompositions and show that for all but one surfaces the same groupoid acts transitively on all labeled admissible double pants decompositions. The only exclusion is a sphere with two handles, where the groupoid has 15 orbits.

Higher Arf Functions and Topology of the Moduli Space of Higher Spin Riemann Surfaces

We prove that any connected component of the space of m-spin structures on compact Riemann surfaces with finite number of punctures and holes is homeomorphic to a quotient of the vector space R^d by a discrete group action. Our proof is based on the representation of the space of m-spin structures on a Riemann surface as a finite affine space of Z/mZ-valued functions on the fundamental group of the surface.

Poincaré's theorem for the modular group of real Riemann surfaces

Let $Mod_{g}$ be the modular group of surfaces of genus $g$. Each element $[h]\in Mod_{g}$ induces in the integer homology of a surface of genus $g$ a symplectic automorphism $H([h])$ and Poincaré shown that $H:Mod_{g}\to Sp(2g,\mathbb{Z})$ is an epimorphism. The theory of real algebraic curves justify the definition of real Riemann surface as a Riemann surface $S$ with an anticonformal involution $σ$. Let $(S,σ)$ be a real Riemann surface, the subgroup $Mod_{g}^σ$ of $Mod_{g}$ that consists of the elements $[h]\in Mod_{g}$ that have a representant $h$ such that $h\circσ=σ\circ h$, plays the rôle of the modular group in the theory of real Riemann surfaces. In this work we describe the image by $H$ of $Mod_{g}^σ$. Such image depends on the topological type of the involution $σ$.
