In the moduli space $$ \mathcal{M} $$ _{$g$}of genus-$g$Riemann surfaces, consider the locus $$ \mathcal{R}{\mathcal{M}_{\mathcal{O}}} $$ of Riemann surfaces whose Jacobians have real multiplication by the order $$ \mathcal{O} $$ in a totally real number field$F$of degree$g$. If$g$= 3, we compute the closure of $$ \mathcal{R}{\mathcal{M}_{\mathcal{O}}} $$ in the Deligne–Mumford compactification of $$ \mathcal{M} $$ _{$g$}and the closure of the locus of eigenforms over $$ \mathcal{R}{\mathcal{M}_{\mathcal{O}}} $$ in the Deligne–Mumford compactification of the moduli space of holomorphic 1-forms. For higher genera, we give strong necessary conditions for a stable curve to be in the boundary of $$ \mathcal{R}{\mathcal{M}_{\mathcal{O}}} $$ . Boundary strata of $$ \mathcal{R}{\mathcal{M}_{\mathcal{O}}} $$ are parameterized by configurations of elements of the field$F$satisfying a strong geometry of numbers type restriction.

Consider $N$ bosons in a finite box  $ \Lambda = [0,L]^3 \subset R^3$ interacting via a two-body smooth repulsive short range potential. We construct a variational state which gives the following upper bound on the ground state energy per particle $$ \bar{lim|_{\rho \to 0} \bar{lim|_{L \to \infty, N/L^3 \to \rho} ( \ frac{e_0 (\rho) - 4\pi a \rho }{ (4\pi a)^{5/2} (\rho)^{3/2} } ) \le \frac{16}{15 \pi ^2} , $$ where $a$ is the scattering length of the potential. Previously, an upper bound of the form $C16/15\pi^2$ for some constant $C >1$ was obtained in (Erdös et al. in Phys. Rev. A 78:053627, 2008). Our result proves the upper bound of the prediction by Lee and Yang (Phys. Rev. 105(3):1119–1120, 1957) and Lee et al. (Phys. Rev. 106(6):1135–1145, 1957).

Registration, which aims to find an optimal 1-1 correspondence between shapes, is an important process in different research areas. Landmark-based surface registration has been widely studied to obtain a mapping between shapes that matches important features. Obtaining a unique and bijective surface registration that matches features consistently is generally challenging, especially when a large number of landmark constraints are enforced. This motivates us to search for a unique landmark matching surface diffeomorphism, which minimizes the local geometric distortion. For this purpose, we propose a special class of diffeomorphisms called the Teichmüller mappings (T-Maps). Under suitable conditions on the landmark constraints, a unique T-Map between two surfaces can be obtained, which minimizes the maximal conformality distortion. The conformality distortion measures how far the mapping deviates from a conformal mapping, and hence it measures the local geometric distortion. In this paper, we propose an efficient iterative algorithm, called the quasi-conformal (QC) iteration, to compute the T-Map. The basic idea is to represent the set of diffeomorphisms using Beltrami coefficients (BCs) and look for an optimal BC associated to the desired T-Map. The associated diffeomorphism can be efficiently reconstructed from the optimal BC using the linear Beltrami solver (LBS). Using BCs to represent diffeomorphisms guarantees the diffeomorphic property of the registration, even with very large deformation. Using our proposed method, the T-Map can be accurately and efficiently computed. The obtained registration is guaranteed to be bijective. The proposed algorithm can also be extended to compute T-Map with soft landmark constraints. We applied the proposed algorithm to real applications, such as brain landmark matching registration, constrained texture mapping, and human face registration. Experimental results shows that our method is both effective and efficient in computing a nonoverlap landmark matching registration with the least amount of conformality distortion.
