Metrics with conic singularities and spherical polygons
A spherical n-gon is a bordered surface homeomorphic to a closed disk, with n distinguished boundary points called corners, equipped with a Riemannian metric of constant curvature 1, except at the corners, and such that the boundary arcs between the corners are geodesic. We discuss the problem of classification of these polygons and enumerate them in the case that two angles at the corners are ...
متن کاملMetrics with Four Conic Singularities and Spherical Quadrilaterals
A spherical quadrilateral is a bordered surface homeomorphic to a closed disk, with four distinguished boundary points called corners, equipped with a Riemannian metric of constant curvature 1, except at the corners, and such that the boundary arcs between the corners are geodesic. We discuss the problem of classification of these quadrilaterals and perform the classification up to isometry in ...
متن کاملRealizability and exceptionality of candidate surface branched covers: methods and results
Let f : Σ̃ d:1 −→ Π Σ denote a branched cover between closed, connected, and orientable surfaces, where d is the global degree, Π = {Π1, . . . ,Πn}, n is the number of branching points, and Πi is the partition of d given by the local degrees over the i-th branching point. If l(Π) is the total length of Π, then the Riemmann-Hurwitz formula asserts that χ(Σ̃) − l(Π) = d · (χ(Σ) − n). A candidate br...
متن کاملConstructing Simplicial Branched Covers
Izmestiev and Joswig described how to obtain a simplicial covering space (the partial unfolding) of a given simplicial complex, thus obtaining a simplicial branched cover [Adv. Geom. 3(2):191-255, 2003]. We present a large class of branched covers which can be constructed via the partial unfolding. In particular, for d ≤ 4 every closed oriented PL d-manifold is the partial unfolding of some pol...
متن کاملDLCQ Strings and Branched Covers of Torii
In this lecture I will review some results about the discrete light-cone quantization (DLCQ) of strings and some connections of the results with matrix string theory. I will review arguments which show that, in the path integral representation of the thermal free energy of a string, the compactifications which are necessary to obtain discrete light-cone quantization constrains the integral over...
