Alexandrov's theorem, weighted Delaunay triangulations, and mixed volumes

AI Bobenko, I Izmestiev - Annales de l'institut Fourier, 2008 - numdam.org
We present a constructive proof of Alexandrov's theorem on the existence of a convex
polytope with a given metric on the boundary. The polytope is obtained by deforming certain …

Discrete conformal variations and scalar curvature on piecewise flat two-and three-dimensional manifolds

D Glickenstein - Journal of Differential Geometry, 2011 - projecteuclid.org
A piecewise flat manifold is a triangulated manifold given a geometry by specifying edge
lengths (lengths of 1-simplices) and specifying that all simplices are Euclidean. We consider …

Decorated discrete conformal maps and convex polyhedral cusps

AI Bobenko, COR Lutz - International Mathematics Research …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
We discuss a notion of discrete conformal equivalence for decorated piecewise Euclidean
surfaces (PE-surface), that is, PE-surfaces with a choice of circle about each vertex. It is …

The unified discrete surface Ricci flow

M Zhang, R Guo, W Zeng, F Luo, ST Yau, X Gu - Graphical Models, 2014 - Elsevier
Ricci flow deforms the Riemannian metric proportionally to the curvature, such that the
curvature evolves according to a heat diffusion process and eventually becomes constant …

Decorated discrete conformal equivalence in non-Euclidean geometries

AI Bobenko, COR Lutz - arxiv preprint arxiv:2310.17529, 2023 - arxiv.org
We introduce decorated piecewise hyperbolic and spherical surfaces and discuss their
discrete conformal equivalence. A decoration is a choice of circle about each vertex of the …

Survey on discrete surface Ricci flow

M Zhang, W Zeng, R Guo, F Luo, XD Gu - Journal of Computer Science …, 2015 - Springer
Ricci flow deforms the Riemannian metric proportionally to the curvature, such that the
curvature evolves according to a nonlinear heat diffusion process, and becomes constant …

Faddeev–Volkov solution of the Yang–Baxter equation and discrete conformal symmetry

VV Bazhanov, VV Mangazeev, SM Sergeev - Nuclear Physics B, 2007 - Elsevier
The Faddeev–Volkov solution of the star-triangle relation is connected with the modular
double of the quantum group Uq (sl2). It defines an Ising-type lattice model with positive …

Ideal hyperbolic polyhedra and discrete uniformization

B Springborn - Discrete & Computational Geometry, 2020 - Springer
We provide a constructive, variational proof of Rivin's realization theorem for ideal
hyperbolic polyhedra with prescribed intrinsic metric, which is equivalent to a discrete …

[HTML][HTML] Rigidity of inversive distance circle packings revisited

X Xu - Advances in Mathematics, 2018 - Elsevier
Inversive distance circle packing metric was introduced by P Bowers and K Stephenson [7]
as a generalization of Thurston's circle packing metric [34]. They conjectured that the …
