Given an oriented graph on a punctured Riemann surface of arbitrary genus, we define a canonical symplectic structure over the set of flat connections on the dual graph, and show that it is invariant under natural transformations. We use this notion to identify the canonical non-degenerate extension of Goldman's symplectic form on the $SL(n)$ character variety with a the form associated to a suitable graph. Using the invariance of the form under natural moves, we utilize the parametrization of the character variety in terms of Fock--Goncharov coordinates and associate to it a canonical decorated triangulation. This allows us to show that these coordinates are log--canonical for the extended Goldman Poisson structure.

In this article, we prove the Riemannian Penrose inequality for asymptotically flat manifolds with non-compact boundary whose asymptotic region is modelled on a half-space. Such spaces were initially considered by Almaraz, Barbosa and de Lima in 2014. In order to prove the inequality, we develop a new approximation scheme for the weak free boundary inverse mean curvature flow, introduced by Marquardt in 2012, and establish the monotonicity of a free boundary version of the Hawking mass. Our result also implies a non-optimal Penrose inequality for asymptotically flat support surfaces in $mathbb{R}^3$ and thus sheds some light on a conjecture made by Huisken.

For a harmonic map $u:M^3to S^1$ on a closed, oriented $3$--manifold, we establish the identity $$2pi int_{thetain S^1}chi(Sigma_{theta})geq frac{1}{2}int_{thetain S^1}int_{Sigma_{theta}}(|du|^{-2}|Hess(u)|^2+R_M)$$ relating the scalar curvature $R_M$ of $M$ to the average Euler characteristic of the level sets $Sigma_{theta}=u^{-1}{theta}$. As our primary application, we extend the Kronheimer--Mrowka characterization of the Thurston norm on $H_2(M;mathbb{Z})$ in terms of $|R_M^-|_{L^2}$ and the harmonic norm to any closed $3$--manifold containing no nonseparating spheres. Additional corollaries include the Bray--Brendle--Neves rigidity theorem for the systolic inequality $(min R_M)sys_2(M)leq 8pi$, and the well--known result of Schoen and Yau that $T^3$ admits no metric of positive scalar curvature.

In this note we show that the Riemann moduli spaces $M_{g, n}$ equipped with the Weil--Petersson metric are quantum ergodic for $3g+n geq 4$. We also provide other examples of singular spaces with ergodic geodesic flow for which quantum ergodicity holds.

We prove that no eigenvalue of the clamped disk can have multiplicity greater than six. Our method of proof is based on a new recursion formula, linear algebra arguments and a transcendency theorem due to Siegel and Shidlovskii.

It is well known that a k-dimensional smooth surface in a Euclidean space cannot be tangent to a non-involutive distribution of k-dimensional planes. In this paper we discuss the extension of this statement to weaker notions of surfaces, namely integral and normal currents. We find out that integral currents behave to this regard exactly as smooth surfaces, while the behaviour of normal currents is rather multifaceted. This issue is strictly related to a geometric property of the boundary of currents, which is also discussed in details.

Starting at a saddle tower surface, we give a new existence proof of the Lawson surfaces $xi_{m,k}$ of high genus by deforming the corresponding DPW potential. As a byproduct, we obtain for fixed $m$ estimates on the area of $ xi_{m,k}$ in terms of their genus $g=m k gg1$.
