1 Two Connections between Combinatorial and Differential Geometry John M. Sullivan Institut für Mathematik, Technische Universität Berlin Berlin Mathematical School DFG Research Group Polyhedral Surfaces DFG Research Center MATHEON Discrete Differential Geometry 2007 July Berlin
2 Triangulations of the torus T 2 Average vertex degree 6 Exceptional vertices have d 6 Regular triangulations have d 6 John M. Sullivan (TU Berlin) Combinatorial and Differential Geometry 2007 July 16 2 / 29
3 Edge flips give new triangulations Flip changes four vertex degrees Can produce triangulations (four exceptional vertices) Quotients of some such tori are 5,7 triangulations of Klein bottle John M. Sullivan (TU Berlin) Combinatorial and Differential Geometry 2007 July 16 3 / 29
4 Two-vertex torus triangulations regular 4,8 3,9 2,10 1,11 John M. Sullivan (TU Berlin) Combinatorial and Differential Geometry 2007 July 16 4 / 29
5 Refinement or subdivision schemes 3 fold 2 fold 7 fold 3 fold Exceptional vertices preserved Old vertex degrees fixed New vertices regular Lots more 4,8, 3,9, 2,10 and 1,11 triangulations John M. Sullivan (TU Berlin) Combinatorial and Differential Geometry 2007 July 16 5 / 29
6 Is there a 5,7 triangulation of the torus? (any number of regular vertices allowed) John M. Sullivan (TU Berlin) Combinatorial and Differential Geometry 2007 July 16 6 / 29
7 Is there a 5,7 triangulation of the torus? (any number of regular vertices allowed) No! We prove this combinatorial statement geometrically using curvature and holonomy or complex function theory Joint work with Ivan Izmestiev (TU Berlin) Rob Kusner (UMass/Amherst) Günter Rote (FU Berlin) Boris Springborn (TU Berlin) John M. Sullivan (TU Berlin) Combinatorial and Differential Geometry 2007 July 16 6 / 29
8 Combinatorics and topology Triangulation of any surface Double-counting edges gives: dv = 2E = 3F χ dv = χ 2E = χ 3F = 1 d χ = d (6 d)v d Notation d := average vertex degree v d := number of vertices of degree d John M. Sullivan (TU Berlin) Combinatorial and Differential Geometry 2007 July 16 7 / 29
9 Eberhard s theorem Triangulation of S 2 12 = d (6 d)v d Theorem (Eberhard, 1891) Given any (v d ) satisfying this condition, there is a corresponding triangulation of S 2, after perhaps modifying v 6. Examples 5 12 triangulation exists for v triangulation exists for v 6 2 and even John M. Sullivan (TU Berlin) Combinatorial and Differential Geometry 2007 July 16 8 / 29
10 Torus triangulations The condition 0 = (6 d)v d is simply d = 6. Analog of Eberhard s Theorem would say 5,7 triangulation for some v 6 Instead, we show there are none John M. Sullivan (TU Berlin) Combinatorial and Differential Geometry 2007 July 16 9 / 29
11 Euclidean cone metrics Euclidean cone metrics Definition Triangulation on M induces equilateral metric: each face an equilateral euclidean triangle. Exceptional vertices are cone points Definition Euclidean cone metric on M is locally euclidean away from discrete set of cone points. Cone of angle ω > 0 has curvature κ := 2π ω. Vertex of degree d has curvature (6 d)π/3 John M. Sullivan (TU Berlin) Combinatorial and Differential Geometry 2007 July / 29
12 Euclidean cone metrics Regular triangulations on the torus Theorem (cf. Alt73, Neg83, Tho91, DU05, BK06) A triangulation of T 2 with no exceptional vertices is a quotient of the regular triangulation T 0 of the plane, or equivalently a finite cover of the 1-vertex triangulation. Proof. Equilateral metric is flat torus R 2 /Λ. The triangulation lifts to the cover, giving T 0. Thus Λ Λ 0, the triangular lattice. Corollary Any degree-regular triangulation has vertex-transitive symmetry. John M. Sullivan (TU Berlin) Combinatorial and Differential Geometry 2007 July / 29
13 Euclidean cone metrics Holonomy of a cone metric Definition M o := M cone points h : π 1 (M o ) SO 2 H := h(π 1 ) Lemma For a triangulation, H is a subgroup of C 6 := 2π/6. Proof. As we parallel transport a vector, look at the angle it makes with each edge of the triangulation. John M. Sullivan (TU Berlin) Combinatorial and Differential Geometry 2007 July / 29
14 Holonomy theorem Holonomy theorem Theorem A torus with two cone points p ± of curvature κ = ±2π/n has holonomy strictly bigger than C n. Corollary There is no 5,7 triangulation of the torus. Proof. Lemma says H contained in C 6 ; theorem says H strictly bigger. John M. Sullivan (TU Berlin) Combinatorial and Differential Geometry 2007 July / 29
15 Holonomy theorem Proof of Holonomy theorem. Shortest nontrivial geodesic γ avoids p +. If it hits p and splits excess angle 2π/n there, consider holonomy of a pertubation. Otherwise, γ avoids p or makes one angle π there, so slide it to foliate a euclidean cylinder. Complementary digon has two positive angles, so geodesic from p to p within the cylinder does split the excess 2π/n. π π p γ γ p + John M. Sullivan (TU Berlin) Combinatorial and Differential Geometry 2007 July / 29
16 Holonomy theorem Quadrangulations and hexangulations Theorem The torus T 2 has no 3,5 quadrangulation no bipartite 2,4 hexangulation 2,6 quad quad 2,4 hex 1,5 hex bip 1,5 hex John M. Sullivan (TU Berlin) Combinatorial and Differential Geometry 2007 July / 29
17 Riemann surfaces Generalizing the holonomy theorem Question Given n > 0 and a euclidean cone metric on T 2 whose curvatures are multiples of 2π/n, when is its holonomy H contained in C n? Curvature as divisor Cone metric induces Riemann surface structure Cone point p i has curvature m i 2π/n Divisor D = m i p i has degree 0 Cone metric gives developing map from universal cover of M o to C. John M. Sullivan (TU Berlin) Combinatorial and Differential Geometry 2007 July / 29
18 Riemann surfaces Main theorem Theorem Proof. H < C n D principal Consider the n th power of the derivative of the developing map. This is well-defined on M iff H < C n. If so, its divisor is D. Conversely, if D is principal, corresponding meromorphic function is this n th power. Note The case n = 2 is the classical correspondance between meromorphic quadratic differentials and singular flat structrues. John M. Sullivan (TU Berlin) Combinatorial and Differential Geometry 2007 July / 29

20 k-point metrics CMC Surfaces CMC Surfaces Definition A coplanar k-unduloid is an Alexandrov-embedded CMC (H 1) surface M with k ends and genus 0, contained in a slab in R 3. Note: each end asymptotic to unduloid John M. Sullivan (TU Berlin) Combinatorial and Differential Geometry 2007 July / 29
