Some metric geometry of the icosahedron

Differential Geometry 2024-03-08 v1

Abstract

This paper constructs a Riemann surface associated to the icosahedron and discusses the geodesics associated to a flat metric on this surface. Because of the icosahedral symmetry, this is a distinguished special case of the example treated in [2].
