Abstract:

We explain the strategy of a recent result that constructs holomorphic ${\rm sl}(2, \mathbb{C})$--differential systems over some Riemann surfaces $\Sigma_g$ of genus $g \,\geq\, 2$, such that the image of the associated monodromy homomorphism is some cocompact Kleinian subgroup $\Gamma \, \subset \, {\rm SL}(2, \mathbb{C})$.

As a consequence, there exist holomorphic maps from $\Sigma_g$ to the quotient ${\rm SL}(2, \mathbb{C})/ \Gamma$, that do not factor through any elliptic curve. This answers positively a question asked by Huckleberry and Winkelmann, also raised by Ghys.

This is a joint work with Indranil Biswas (TIFR, Mumbai), Lynn Heller (BIMSA, Beijing) and Sebastian Heller (BIMSA, Beijing).
