Trivial Connections on Discrete Surfaces

چکیده
This paper presents a straightforward algorithm for constructing connections on discrete surfaces that are as smooth as possible everywhere but on a set of isolated singularities with given index. We compute these connections by solving a single linear system built from standard operators. The solution can be used to design rotationally symmetric direction fields with user-specified singularities and directional constraints.

Discrete Connections for Geometry Processing
Connections provide a way to compare local quantities defined at different points of a geometric space. This thesis develops a discrete theory of connections that naturally leads to practical, efficient numerical algorithms for geometry processing. Our formulation is motivated by real-world applications where meshes may be noisy or coarsely discretized. Further, because our discrete framework c...
متن کاملMagnetic monopoles over topologically non trivial Riemann Surfaces
An explicit canonical construction of monopole connections on non trivial U(1) bundles over Riemann surfaces of any genus is given. The class of monopole solutions depend on the conformal class of the given Riemann surface and a set of integer weights. The reduction of Seiberg-Witten 4-monopole equations to Riemann surfaces is performed. It is shown then that the monopole connections constructe...
متن کاملFlat connections, geometric invariants and energy of harmonic functions on compact Riemann surfaces
This work grew out of an attempt to generalize the construction of Chern-Simons invariants. In this paper, we associate a geometric invariant to the space of flat connection on a SU(2)-bundle on a compact Riemann surface and relate it to the energy of harmonic functions on the surface. Our set up is as follows. Let G = SU(2) and M be a compact Riemann surface and E ~ M be the trivial G-bundle. ...
متن کاملOn the Stability of Compactified D=11 Supermembranes
We prove D = 11 supermembrane theories wrapping around in an irreducible way over S1×S1×M9 on the target manifold, have a hamiltonian with strict minima and without infinity dimensional valleys for the bosonic sector. The minima occur at monopole connections of an associated U(1) bundle over topologically non trivial Riemann surfaces of arbitrary genus. Explicit expressions for the minimal conn...
متن کامل2 00 3 Conformal geometry of the ( discrete ) Schwarzian Davey - Stewartson II hierarchy
The conformal geometry of the Schwarzian Davey-Stewartson II hierarchy and its discrete analogue is investigated. Connections with discrete and continuous isothermic surfaces and generalised Clifford configurations are recorded. An interpretation of the Schwarzian Davey-Stewartson II flows as integrable deformations of conformally immersed surfaces is given.
