Abstract
We study families of spherical metrics on the flat torus with blow-up behavior at prescribed conical singularities at and , where the cone angle at is , and at is . We prove that the existence of such a necessarily unique, even family of spherical metrics is completely determined by the geometry of the torus: such a family exists if and only if\textbf{ }the Green function admits a pair of nontrivial critical points . In this case, the cone point must equal , and the corresponding monodromy data is , where An explicit transformation relating this family to the one with a single conical singularity of angle at the origin is established in Theorem 1.4. A rigidity result for rhombic tori is proved in Theorem 1.5.
