The plot below is a horn torus. Is that a valid genus-1 normal Riemann surface? I believe it is but I'm just a novice. I'm unsure about the single point in the center and if it "technically" still has a hole in it. Maybe I need to review that.

A Riemann surface is, in particular, a 2 dimensional topological manifold. At the single point at the center, this space looks like 2 cones with their tips touching. Because of that, The horned torus is not a manifold and hence not a Riemann surface.
