Let $\overline{R}$ be a finitely bordered Riemann surface, and let $\mathfrak{E}_\rho(\overline{R})$ be a flat matrix $PU_n(\mathbb{C})$-bundle over $\overline{R}$. Let $\Gamma_c(\overline{R}, \mathfrak{E}(\overline{R}))$ denote the $C^*$-algebra of continuous cross-sections of $\mathfrak{E}(\overline{R})$, and let $\Gamma_h(\overline{R},\mathfrak{E}(\overline{R}))$ denote the subalgebra consisting of the continuous holomorphic sections, i.e.~the continuous cross-sections that are holomorphic on the interior of $\overline{R}$. The algebra $\Gamma_c(\overline{R}, \mathfrak{E}(\overline{R}))$ is an example of an $n$-homogeneous $C^*$-algebra, and the subalgebra $\Gamma_h(\overline{R},\mathfrak{E}(\overline{R}))$ is the principal object of study of this thesis. The algebras $\Gamma_h(\overline{R},\mathfrak{E}(\overline{R}))$ appeared in the earlier works \cite{Abrahamse1976} and \cite{Blecher2000}. Operators that can be viewed as elements in $\Gamma_h(\overline{R},\mathfrak{E}(\overline{R}))$ are the subject of \cite{Abrahamse1976}. The Morita theory of $\Gamma_h(\overline{R},\mathfrak{E}(\overline{R}))$, under the guise of a fixed-point algebra and in the special case of an annulus $R$, is studied in \cite[Ex.~8.3]{Blecher2000}. This thesis studies these algebras and their topological data $\mathfrak{E}_\rho(\overline{R})$ motivated by several problems in the theory of nonselfadjoint operator algebras. Boundary representations are an invariant of operator algebras that were introduced by Arveson in 1969. However, it took nearly 50 years to show that boundary representations existed in sufficient abundance in all cases. I show that every boundary representation of $\Gamma_c(\overline{R}, \mathfrak{E}(\overline{R}))$ for $\Gamma_h(\overline{R}, \mathfrak{E}(\overline{R}))$ is given by evaluation at some point $r \in \partial R$. As a corollary, the $C^*$-envelope of $\Gamma_h(\overline{R},\mathfrak{E}(\overline{R}))$ is $\Gamma_c(\partial R, \mathfrak{E}(\partial R))$. Using the $C^*$-envelope, I show that for certain choices of fibre and base space, $\Gamma_h(\overline{R}, \mathfrak{E}_\rho(\overline{R}))$ is not completely isometrically isomorphic to $A(\overline{R})\otimes M_n(\mathbb{C})$ unless the representation $\rho$ is the trivial representation. I also show that $\Gamma_h(\overline{R},\mathfrak{E}(\overline{R}))$ is an Azumaya over its center. Azumaya algebras are the ``pure-algebra'' analogues to $n$-homogeneous $C^*$-algebras \cite{Artin1969}. Thus the structure of the nonselfadjoint subalgebra $\Gamma_h(\overline{R},\mathfrak{E}(\overline{R}))$ reflects some of the structure of its $C^*$-envelope (which is $n$-homogeneous). Finally, I answer a question raised in \cite[Ex.~8.3]{Blecher2000} on the $cb$ and strong Morita theory of $\Gamma_h(\overline{R},\mathfrak{E}_\rho(\overline{R}))$, showing in particular that $\Gamma_h(\overline{R},\mathfrak{E}_\rho(\overline{R}))$ is $cb$ Morita equivalent to its center $A(\overline{R})$. As suggested in \cite[Ex.~8.3]{Blecher2000}, I provide additional evidence that $\Gamma_h(\overline{R},\mathfrak{E}_\rho(\overline{R}))$ may not be strongly Morita equivalent to its center. This evidence, in turn, suggests that there may be a Brauer group -like analysis for these algebras.

Em 1762, Lagrange introduziu a Equacao Diferencial das Superfícies Mnimas atraves do Calculo de Variações, e hoje a teoria de tais superfícies e umaarea de pesquisa ativa e abrangente. A elaboração de novas famílias de superfícies minimas esta baseada no metodo da Construção Reversa, desenvolvido por Hermann Karcher nos meados da década de 80. Salientamos no presente trabalho a maneira diferenciada com que os problemas de periodos foram resolvidos. Para isso, utilizaram-se as equações de uma superfície mínima limite, para a qual ja era conhecido que o problema de períodos tinha solução transversal. Tal método, que neste trabalho sera denominado "método limite", simplica de maneira consideravel o esforco em solucionar os problemas de período da família original / Abstract: In this work we present the study and construction of minimal surfaces through an exclusive method. In 1762, Lagrange introduced the Minimal Surfaces Diferential Equation through the Calculus of Variations, and today the theory of such surfaces builds up an active and broad research area. We obtain new families of minimal surfaces based upon the Reverse Construction Method, developed by Hermann Karcher during the eighties. In our work we stress the original fashion with which period problems are solved: One makes use of a limit minimal surface, of which the periods are known to have transversal solution. Because of that we named our technique as "limit-method", which simplies considerably the effort of solving period problems for the sought after family of minimal surfaces / Doutorado / Geometria Diferencial / Mestre em Matemática

Têm-se como exemplos clássicos o catenóide, o helicóide e a superfície de Scherk. Historicamente, elas estão relacionadas com minimização de área, porém quando realiza-se uma variação normal incluindo os bordos, a superfície original com curvatura média nula pode representar uma área localmente máxima. Em certos casos de variação com bordo fixo, tem-se realmente a minimização do funcional área. No espaço euclidiano tridimensional, o Teorema da Representação de Weierstrass expressa uma superfície mínima em termos de integrais envolvendo uma função holomorfa e uma meromorfa. A partir desta meromorfa pode-se deduzir a aplicação normal de Gauss. Conceitos como curvatura Gaussiana, curvatura total, superfícies completas e regularidade também são utilizados para deduzir propriedades das superfícies mínimas. Quando estudamos as superfícies mínimas para as quais o bordo consiste de duas circunferências disjuntas, os Teoremas de Enneper e Shiffman, o Princípio de Reflexão de Schwarz e a unicidade do Problema de Bjõrling são ferramentas importantes para a dedução das soluções, a saber, o catenóide e as superfícies de Riemann. Estas apresentam simetrias por reflexão a um plano e invariância por rotação de 180 graus em torno de uma reta. A função "P de Weierstrass" simétrica é de grande utilidade no estudo destas propriedades / Abstract: Minimal surfaces are known to be the ones with mean curvature zero. Classical exampIes are the catenoid, helicoid and the Scherk surface. Historically, they were associated with the property of minimizing area. However, they can even maximize it localIy for cases of normal variation which include the boundary. For fixed boundary, we shalI analyse when they realIy minimize the area functional. In the three-dimensional Euclidean space, the Weierstrass Representation Theorem expresses any minimal surface S by means of integraIs with a holomorphic and a meromorphic functions, usualIy denoted by f and g, respectively. The unitary normal N of S is fulIy determined by g. Concepts like "Gaussian curvature", "total curvature", "com pleteness" and "regularity" are also employed in order to read off some properties of minimal surfaces. Concerning the case for which the boundary of S consists of two disjoint circumferences, Enneper's and Shiffman's Theorems, The Schwarz's Reflection PrincipIe and the B6rling's Problem are fundamental tools to characterize the solutions, namely the catenoid and the Riemann's examples. AlI these are invariant by a reflectional symmetry in a plane, and also by a rotation of 180-degree around a straight line. The symmetric Weierstrass-Pfunction is very useful to deduce these properties / Mestrado / Matematica / Mestre em Matemática

The theory of Riemann surfaces is quite old, consequently it is well developed. Riemann surfaces originated in complex analysis as a means of dealing with the problem of multi-valued functions. Such multi-valued functions occur because the analytic continuation of a given holomorphic function element along different paths leads in general to different branches of that function. The theory splits in two parts; the compact and the non-compact case. The function theory developed on these cases are quite dissimilar. The main difficulty one encounters in the compact case is the scarcity of global holomorphic functions, which limits one’s study to meromorphic functions. This however is not an issue in non-compact Riemann surfaces, where one enjoys a vast variety of global holomorphic functions. While the function theory of compact Riemann surfaces is centered around the Riemann-Roch theorem, which essentially tells us how many linearly independent meromorphic functions there are having certain restrictions on their poles, the function theory developed on non-compact Riemann surface engages tools for approximation of functions on certain subsets by holomorphic maps on larger domains. The most powerful tool in this regard is the Runge’s approximation theorem. An intriguing application of this is the Gunning-Narasimhan theorem, which says that every connected open Riemann surface has an immersion into the complex plane. The main goal of this project is to prove Runge’s approximation theorem and illustrate its effectiveness in proving the Gunning-Narasimhan theorem. Finally we look at an analogue of Gunning-Narasimhan theorem in the case of a compact Riemann surface.

We consider diffeomorphisms of a compact Riemann Surface. A development of Oseledec's Multiplicative Ergodic Theorem is given, along with a development of measure theoretic entropy and dimension. The main result, due to L.S. Young, is that for certain diffeomorphisms of a surface, there is a beautiful relationship between these three concepts; namely that the entropy equals dimension times expansion.

Cette thèse porte sur certaines familles à un paramètre de surfaces de Riemann compactes de genre 2 définies par des surfaces de translation. Les familles que nous considérons constituent des géodésiques de Teichmüller dans l'espace des modules.Nous nous attachons en particulier à décrire ces surfaces par leurs matrices des périodes et par les équations des courbes algébriques associées.Nous étudions notamment les automorphismes admissibles par les surfaces de certaines de ces familles.Le principal résultat consiste en une caractérisation explicite des matrices des périodes des courbes réelles à trois composantes réelles appartenant à la famille obtenue par projection dans l'espace des modules de la SL(2,R)-orbite de la surface de translation en «L» pavée par trois carreaux.Nous montrons enfin, grâce à une interprétation en termes de transformations de Schwarz-Christoffel, comment calculer numériquement une équation de la courbe algébrique définie par une surface de translation en «L». / In this thesis we study some one parameter families of compact Riemann surfaces of genus 2 defined by translation surfaces.The families we consider are Teichmüller geodesics in the moduli space.We mainly describe these surfaces by means of period matrices and equations of the associated algebraic curves.We study admissible automorphisms for surfaces in some of those families.The main result is an explicit characterisation of period matrices of real curves with three real components belonging to the family obtained by projecting the SL(2,R)-orbit of the «L»-shaped translation surface tiled by three squares into the moduli space.We finally show, using an interpretation in terms of Schwarz-Christoffel transformations, how to numerically compute an equation of the algebraic curve defined by a «L»-shaped translation surface.

On sait que le nombre de racines réelles d’un polynôme à une variable de degré d et à coefficients réels est compris entre 0 et d. Au début des années 90, E. Kostlan prouve que le nombre moyen de racines vaut racine carrée de d, lorsque ces polynômes sont équipées d’une mesure de probabilité adéquate. Ce résultat possède une interprétation géométrique, où les polynômes apparaissent comme sections au-dessus de la sphère de Riemann, et ils peuvent s’étendre au cadre plus général de sections de fibrés en droites amples sur une surface de Riemann. Il s’agit ici du calcul de l’espérance mathématique du nombre de racines réelles de ces polynômes ou sections. Dans cette thèse, on calcule tous les moments centrés de ces variable aléatoires. Comme application de ce calcul, on prouve que la mesure de l’ensemble des polynômes ou sections dont le nombre de racines s’ écartent de la moyenne est majoré de façon effective en fonction de cet écart, un résultat de type concentration de la mesure en probabilité. Dans une deuxième partie, on présente des résultats analogue dans la théorie de Hurwitz réelle, où plutôt que du nombre de racines réelles d’un polynôme aléatoire, on considère le nombre de points critiques réels d’un revêtement ramifié aléatoire de la sphère de Riemann. On calcul la moyenne et tous les moments centrés du nombre de points critiques réels d'un revêtement aléatoire.Les techniques employées dans la preuve de ces résultats sont de nature analytique (noyau de Bergman, estimées L^2) et géométriques (multi-espaces d'Olver, formule de la coaire) / It is well known that the number of real roots of a real degree d polynomial is at most d. In the 90s, E. Kostlan proved that the average number of real roots equals the square root of d, once we equip the space of polynomials with some natural Gaussian measure. This result has a geometric interpretation, in which the real polynomials are sections of a line bundle over the Riemann sphere. We can extend this study in a more general case of a real Riemann surface equipped with ample line bundle and study the expected value of the number of real zeros of a random section. In this thesis, we compute all the central moments of these random variables. As an application, we prove that the measure of the space of real sections whose number of real zeros deviates from the expected one goes to zeros, as the degree of the line bundle goes to infinity.In a second part, we present analogues results in real Hurwitz theory, in which we study the real critical points of a random branched covering of the Riemann sphere. We compute the expected value of this number and also all the central moments.The techniques we use are of analytique nature (Bergman kernel, L^2 estimates) and gometric one (Olver multispaces, coarea formula)

Dans ce mémoire, nous étudierons quelques propriétés algébriques, géométriques et topologiques des surfaces de Riemann compactes. Deux grand sujets seront traités. Tout d'abord, en utilisant le fait que toute surface de Riemann compacte de genre g plus grand ou égal à 2 possède un nombre fini de points de Weierstrass, nous allons pouvoir conclure que ces surfaces possèdent un nombre fini d'automorphismes. Ensuite, nous allons étudier de plus près la formule de trace d'Eichler. Ce théorème nous permet de trouver le caractère d'un automorphisme agissant sur l'espace des q-différentielles holomorphes. Nous commencerons notre étude en utilisant la quartique de Klein. Nous effectuerons un exemple de calcul utilisant le théorème d'Eichler, ce qui nous permettra de nous familiariser avec l'énoncé du théorème. Finalement, nous allons démontrer la formule de trace d'Eichler, en prenant soin de traiter le cas où l'automorphisme agit sans point fixe séparément du cas où l'automorphisme possède des points fixes. / In this thesis, we will study several algebraic, geometrical and topological properties of compact Riemann surfaces. Two principal subjects will be treated. First, using the fact that every compact Riemann surfaces of genus g greater or equal to 2 has a finite number of Weierstrass points, we will be able to prove that those surfaces have a finite number of automorphism. Afterward, we will study the Eichler's trace formula. This formula allow us to find the character of an automorphism acting on the space of holomorphic q-differentials. We will start our study using Klein's quartic curve. We will apply Eichler's formula in this case, which will allow us to familiarize ourselves with the statement of the theorem. Finally, we will demonstrate the Eichler's trace formula, treating the case where the automorphism acts fixed point freely separately from the case where the automorphism has fixed points.
