Combinatorial Excursions in Moduli Space

چکیده
Given an abstract triangulation of a torus, there is a unique point in moduli space which supports a circle packing for this triangulation. We will describe combinatorial deformations analogous to the process of conformal welding. These combinatorial deformations allow us to travel in moduli space from any packable torus to a point arbitrarily close to any other torus we choose. We also provide two proofs of Toki’s result that any torus can be transformed into any other by a conformal welding and compute the maps necessary to accomplish the welding.

M ar 2 00 3 COMBINATORIAL CLASSES ON M g , n ARE TAUTOLOGICAL
The combinatorial description via ribbon graphs of the moduli space of Riemann surfaces allows to define combinatorial cycles in a natural way. Witten and Kontsevich first conjectured that these classes are polynomials in the tautological classes. We answer affirmatively to this conjecture and find recursively all the polynomials. Moreover we lift the combinatorial classes to the Deligne-Mumfor...
متن کاملHigher Genus Superstring Amplitudes From the Geometry of Moduli Space
We show that the higher genus 4-point superstring amplitude is strongly constrained by the geometry of moduli space of Riemann surfaces. A detailed analysis leads to a natural proposal which satisfies several conditions. The result is based on the recently derived Siegel induced metric on the moduli space of Riemann surfaces and on combinatorial products of determinants of holomorphic abelian d...
متن کاملA Combinatorial Algorithm Related to the Geometry of the Moduli Space of Pointed Curves
As pointed out in Arbarello and Cornalba (J. Alg. Geom. 5 (1996), 705–749), a theorem due to Di Francesco, Itzykson, and Zuber (see Di Francesco, Itzykson, and Zuber, Commun. Math. Phys. 151 (1993), 193–219) should yield new relations among cohomology classes of the moduli space of pointed curves. The coefficients appearing in these new relations can be determined by the algorithm we introduce ...
متن کاملCombinatorial properties of stable spin curves
The first part of this paper describes the moduli space of stable spin curves (constructed in [Cor89]), explaining how its geometry is governed by the combinatorics of stable curves. In this context, the standard graph theoretic framework (where to every stable curve one associates its “dual graph”) is not just a book-keeping device: in Section 2, some purely combinatorial results are proved (T...
متن کاملA Deterministic Multiple Key Space Scheme for Wireless Sensor Networks via Combinatorial Designs
The establishing of a pairwise key between two nodes for encryption in a wireless sensor network is a challenging issue. To do this, we propose a new deterministic key pre-distribution scheme which has modified the multiple key space scheme (MKSS). In the MKSS, the authors define two random parameters to make better resilience than existing schemes. Instead of a random selection of these parame...
