A Discrete Uniformization Theorem for Polyhedral Surfaces
Feng Luo (Rutgers)
Wednesday 11 May 2016 from 12:00–13:00 in Carslaw 535A
Please join us for lunch after the talk!
Abstract:
We introduce a discrete conformality for polyhedral
metrics on surfaces. It is shown that each polyhedral metric
on a surface is discretely conformal to a constant curvature
polyhedral metric which is unique up to scaling. Furthermore,
the constant curvature metric can be found by a finite
dimensional variational principle. This is joint work with
David Gu, Jian Sun and Tianqi Wu.
