Riemann surfaces and Teichmüller theory
2017
Riemannin pinnat ja Teichmüller-teoriaa. Tämän työn päämääränä on määritellä Riemannin pintojen Teichmüller-avaruudet sekä tutkia niiden geometrisia ominaisuuksia. Ensin työssä kehitetään peiteavaruuksien ja toimintojen teoriaa, jota sovelletaan Möbius-kuvauksista koostuviin ryhmiin. Tämän jälkeen kvasikonformaalikuvaukset määritellään Riemannin pinnoille ja niiden yhteyttä yhdesti yhtenäisten Riemannin avaruuksien kvasikonformikuvauksiin tutkitaan. Näitä tietoja sekä yhdesti yhtenäisten Riemannin pintojen uniformisaatiolausetta hyödyntämällä todistetaan yleisten Riemannin pintojen uniformisaatiolause. Tämä tulos liittää pinnat Möbius-kuvauksien toimintoihin yhdesti yhtenäisillä Riemannin p…
ConformalALU: A Conformal Geometric Algebra Coprocessor for Medical Image Processing
2015
Medical imaging involves important computational geometric problems, such as image segmentation and analysis, shape approximation, three-dimensional (3D) modeling, and registration of volumetric data. In the last few years, Conformal Geometric Algebra (CGA), based on five-dimensional (5D) Clifford Algebra, is emerging as a new paradigm that offers simple and universal operators for the representation and solution of complex geometric problems. However, the widespread use of CGA has been so far hindered by its high dimensionality and computational complexity. This paper proposes a simplified formulation of the conformal geometric operations (reflections, rotations, translations, and uniform …
Bi-Sobolev extensions
2022
We give a full characterization of circle homeomorphisms which admit a homeomorphic extension to the unit disk with finite bi-Sobolev norm. As a special case, a bi-conformal variant of the famous Beurling-Ahlfors extension theorem is obtained. Furthermore we show that the existing extension techniques such as applying either the harmonic or the Beurling-Ahlfors operator work poorly in the degenerated setting. This also gives an affirmative answer to a question of Karafyllia and Ntalampekos.
Analytic capacity and quasiconformal mappings with $W^{1,2}$ Beltrami coefficient
2008
We show that if $\phi$ is a quasiconformal mapping with compactly supported Beltrami coefficient in the Sobolev space $W^{1,2}$, then $\phi$ preserves sets with vanishing analytic capacity. It then follows that a compact set $E$ is removable for bounded analytic functions if and only if it is removable for bounded quasiregular mappings with compactly supported Beltrami coefficient in $W^{1,2}$.

Ricci-flow based conformal mapping of the proximal femur to identify exercise loading effects.
2018
AbstractThe causal relationship between habitual loading and adaptive response in bone morphology is commonly explored by analysing the spatial distribution of mechanically relevant features. In this study, 3D distribution of features in the proximal femur of 91 female athletes (5 exercise loading groups representing habitual loading) is contrasted with 20 controls. A femur specific Ricci-flow based conformal mapping procedure was developed for establishing correspondence among the periosteal surfaces. The procedure leverages the invariance of the conformal mapping method to isometric shape differences to align surfaces in the 2D parametric domain, to produce dense correspondences across an…
Surface homeomorphisms with zero dimensional singular set
1998
We prove that if f is an orientation-preserving homeomorphism of a closed orientable surface M whose singular set is totally disconnected, then f is topologically conjugate to a conformal transformation.
Quasi-Conformal Technique for Integrating and Validating Myocardial Tissue Characterization in MRI with Ex-Vivo Human Histological Data
2017
Ventricular tachycardia caused by a circuit of re-entry is one of the most critical arrhythmias. It is usually related with heterogeneous scar regions where slow velocity of conduction tissue is mixed with non-conductive tissue, creating pathways (CC) responsible for the tachycardia. Pre-operative DE-MRI can provide information on myocardial tissue viability and then improve therapy planning. However, the current DE-MRI resolution is not sufficient for identifying small CCs and therefore they have to be identified during the intervention, which requires considerable operator experience. In this work, we studied the relationship of histological data (with 10 \(\mu \)m resolution), with in-vi…
