Abstract

We study families of spherical metrics on the flat torus EτE_{\tau} == C/Λτ\mathbb{C}/\Lambda_{\tau} with blow-up behavior at prescribed conical singularities at 00 and ±p\pm p, where the cone angle at 00 is 6π6\pi, and at ±p\pm p is 4π4\pi. 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 G(z;τ)G(z;\tau) admits a pair of nontrivial critical points ±a\pm a. In this case, the cone point pp must equal aa, and the corresponding monodromy data is (2r,2s)\left( 2r,2s\right) , where a=r+sτ.a=r+s\tau. An explicit transformation relating this family to the one with a single conical singularity of angle 6π6\pi at the origin is established in Theorem 1.4. A rigidity result for rhombic tori is proved in Theorem 1.5.
