Abstract

We prove $C^{k/2,\alpha/2}$ -regularity up to a non-umbilic elliptic complex point for the Bishop family of holomorphic discs with boundary in a $C^{k,\alpha}$ regular real surface. Furthermore, we prove existence and regularity of holomorphic discs near certain complex points of index $\ge 2$. The proof employs a novel blow-up of the real surface which resolves the complex point to a pair of totally real surfaces and leads to a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ -equivariant Riemann-Hilbert problem for holomorphic annuli. The index is computed to be 1 and the problem is shown to be Fredholm-regular.

A problem for isolated singularities of surfaces

We study the extension of the conformal structure of a Riemann surface, obtained as a submanifold of $\mathbf R^n$, across an isolated singular point, under hypotheses that are metric rather than analytic. The main result (1989) is that an isolated singularity is $\textbf{conformally point-like}$ (conformal to a punctu...

Holomorphic Approximation for Real Diffeomorphism Groups

We show that every diffeomorphism of $\mathbb{R}^n$ for $n \ge 2$ can be approximated by an automorphism of $\mathbb{C}^n$ in the Whitney $C^k$-topology for any positive integer $k$ using the notion of density property. More precisely we find sufficient conditions for this holomorphic approximation of diffeomorphisms t...

Schwarz-Type Null Curves in $\mathbb{C}^4$: Symmetry and Period Reduction

We study a genus-three hyperelliptic holomorphic null-curve family in $\mathbb{C}^4$, modelled on the algebraic data of the classical Schwarz P/D family, whose real parts define minimal immersions into $\mathbb{R}^4$. For the order-four automorphism $\omega\mapsto i\omega$ of the underlying Schwarz curve, we compute ex...

Neighborhoods of singular elliptic curves and the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence at infinity

In his thesis work, the first author studies neighborhoods of singular elliptic curves of type $I_0^*$ (Kodaira's classification) and provides the analytic classification. This is related via a double covering construction to the analytic invariants found by Touzet, Voronin and the second author for the analytic classi...

Witt groups of smooth real curves and surfaces

We study the $\mathbf{I}^*$-cohomology of a smooth real algebraic curve in terms of its real locus and its geometric genus. We notably extend results of Monnier to the twisted case, which is crucial to the understanding of proper pushforwards of Witt groups. We also perform some computations related to transfers along...

Tangent discontinuity in the oper stratification of de Rham moduli spaces

Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective curve of genus $g$, and let $\mathcal{M}_{\mathrm{dR}}(X,r)$ be the moduli space of flat bundles of rank $r$. Over the stable locus, Simpson showed the oper stratification with Lagrangian fibers and asked whether these fibers are closed and fit together into a smooth foliation. Th...
