Spherical quadrilaterals with three non-integer angles
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 the case that one corner of a quadrilateral is integer (i.e., its angle is a multiple of π) while the angles at its other three corners are not multiples of π. The problem is equivalent to classification of Heun’s equations with real parameters and unitary monodromy, with the trivial monodromy at one of its four singular point. MSC 2010: 30C20,34M03.

A quadrilateral is a bordered surface homeomorphic to the closed disc, with 4 marked boundary points called vertices, and equipped with a Riemannian metric of constant curvature K ∈ {0, 1,−1}, such that the sides (the arcs between the vertices) are geodesic. So the metric has the so-called conic singularities at the vertices. Let παj > 0 be the interior angles at the vertices. When K = 0, we kn...

متن کاملAn angle criterion for conical mesh vertices
A vertex in a mesh surface with planar faces may have the property that offsetting all the face planes incident with the vertex by a constant distance leads to planes which intersect again in a common point. This is equivalent to the property that the planes, consistently oriented via the connectivity of the mesh, are tangent to an oriented cone of revolution. We show that for vertices of valen...

We study spherical quadrilaterals whose angles are odd multiples of π/2, and the equivalent accessory parameter problem for the Heun equation. We obtain a classification of these quadrilaterals up to isometry. For given angles, there are finitely many one-dimensional continuous families which we enumerate. In each family the conformal modulus is either bounded from above or bounded from below, ...
