Scattering theory on Riemann surfaces I: Schiffer operators, cohomology, and index theorems
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this paper, we consider a compact Riemann surface [Formula: see text] with a complex of non-intersecting Jordan curves, whose complement is a pair of Riemann surfaces with boundary, each of which may be possibly disconnected. We investigate conformally invariant integral operators of Schiffer, which act on [Formula: see text] anti-holomorphic one-forms on one of these surfaces with boundary and produce holomorphic one-forms on the disjoint union. These operators arise in potential theory, boundary value problems, approximation theory, and conformal field theory, and are closely related to a kind of Cauchy operator. We develop an extensive calculus for the Schiffer and Cauchy operators, including a number of adjoint identities for the Schiffer operators. In the case that the Jordan curves are quasicircles, we derive a Plemelj–Sokhotski jump formula for Dirichlet-bounded functions. We generalize a theorem of Napalkov and Yulmukhametov, which shows that a certain Schiffer operator is an isomorphism for quasicircles. Finally, we characterize the kernels and images, and derive index theorems for the Schiffer operators, which will in turn connect conformal invariants to topological invariants.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
