Flexible hyperbolic cone metrics on the genus 2 surface

Geometric Topology 2025-07-29 v1

Abstract

A negatively curved hyperbolic cone metric on a surface is rigid if it is determined by the support of its Liouville current. We use a theorem of Erlandsson, Leininger, and Sadanand to show that there are nine mapping class group orbits of equivalence classes of non-rigid (aka flexible) metrics in the case of the genus 2 surface.
