Infinite circle patterns in the Weil-Petersson class

This paper establishes that the space of infinite circle patterns in the Euclidean plane parameterized by discrete harmonic functions of finite Dirichlet energy forms an infinite-dimensional Hilbert manifold homeomorphic to the Sobolev space of half-differentiable functions, equipped with a Riemannian metric derived from a hyperbolic volume functional that relates to a symplectic form via an analogue of the Hilbert transform, thereby connecting these patterns to the Weil-Petersson class of the universal Teichmüller space.

On intersection cohomology with torus action of complexity one, II

This paper establishes that the decomposition theorem components for contraction maps of torus actions of complexity one are intersection cohomology complexes of even codimensional subvarieties, leading to the vanishing of odd-dimensional intersection cohomology for rational complete varieties of this type and providing explicit formulas for the Betti numbers of affine trinomial hypersurfaces based on their defining equations.
