This is a prejudiced survey on the Ahlfors (extremal) function and the weaker {\it circle maps} (Garabedian-Schiffer's translation of "Kreisabbildung"), i.e. those (branched) maps effecting the conformal representation upon the disc of a {\it compact bordered Riemann surface}. The theory in question has some well-known intersection with real algebraic geometry, especially Klein's ortho-symmetric curves via the paradigm of {\it total reality}. This leads to a gallery of pictures quite pleasant… Expand

A little scholium on Hilbert-Rohn via the total reality of $M$-curves: Riemann's flirt with Miss Ragsdale
This note presents an elementary proof of Hilbert's 1891 Ansatz of nesting for $M$-sextics, along the line of Riemann's Nachlass 1857 and a simple Harnack-style argument (1876). Our proof seems toExpand
Uniform Approximation on Riemann Surfaces

A computational study of smooth curves of degree six in the real projective plane is presented, developed software that determines the topological type of a given sextic and used to compute empirical probability distributions on the various types. Expand
The Carathéodory Reflection Principle and Osgood–Carathéodory Theorem on Riemann Surfaces

Abstract The Osgood–Carathéodory theorem asserts that conformal mappings between Jordan domains extend to homeomorphisms between their closures. For multiply-connected domains on Riemann surfaces,Expand
