We investigate zigzags in triangulations of connected closed $2$-dimensional surfaces and show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between triangulations with homogeneous zigzags and closed $2$-cell embeddings of directed Eulerian…
We give a list of statements on the geometry of elliptic threefolds phrased only in the language of topology and homological algebra. Using only notions from topology and homological algebra, we recover existing results and prove new…
In this paper, we prove that the set of triangulations of a polygon can be equipped with an order to become a lattice. First, we define this order. In [HN99], authors defined the flip operator and then prove some properties of the graph of…
In this paper, we are interested in flat metric structures with conical singularities on surfaces which are obtained by deforming translation surface structures. The moduli space of such flat metric structures can be viewed as some…
To each tagged triangulation of a surface with marked points and non-empty boundary we associate a quiver with potential, in such a way that whenever we apply a flip to a tagged triangulation, the Jacobian algebra of the QP associated to…
We prove that any length metric space homeomorphic to a surface may be decomposed into non-overlapping convex triangles of arbitrarily small diameter. This generalizes a previous result of Alexandrov--Zalgaller for surfaces of bounded…
Flip-graph connectedness is established here for the vertex set of the 4-dimensional cube. It is found as a consequence that this vertex set has 92 487 256 triangulations, partitioned into 247 451 symmetry classes.
We give a self-contained introduction to the theory of secondary polytopes and geometric bistellar flips in triangulations of polytopes and point sets, as well as a review of some of the known results and connections to algebraic geometry,…
With the $[0,1,2]$-family of cyclic triangulations we introduce a rich class of vertex-transitive triangulations of surfaces. In particular, there are infinite series of cyclic $q$-equivelar triangulations of orientable and non-orientable…
We prove that every 2-dimensional polygonal complex, where each polygon is given a constant curvature metric and belongs to one of finitely many isometry classes can be triangulated using only acute simplices. There is no requirement on the…
We construct flat metrics in a given conformal class with prescribed singularities of real orders at marked points of a closed real surface. The singularities can be small conical, cylindrical, and large conical with possible translation…
A topologically minimal surface may be isotoped into a normal form with respect to a fixed triangulation. If the intersection with each tetrahedron is simply connected, then the pieces of this normal form are triangles, quadrilaterals, and…
Eliahou \cite{2} and Kryuchkov \cite{9} conjectured a proposition that Gravier and Payan \cite{4} proved to be equivalent to the Four Color Theorem. It states that any triangulation of a polygon can be transformed into another triangulation…
Let $\mathbf{\Sigma}=(\Sigma,M,O)$ be a surface with marked points and order-2 orbifold points which is either unpunctured or once-punctured closed, and $\omega:O\rightarrow\{1,4\}$ a function. For each triangulation $\tau$ of…
The geometry of closed surfaces equipped with a Euclidean metric with finitely many conical points of arbitrary angle is studied. The main result is that the image of a non-closed geodesic has 0 distance from the set of conical points.…
We prove that the number of dissections of a given polygon into triangles with fixed areas of faces is finite and that an equidissection is algebraic as long as the vertices of the original polygon have algebraic coordinates.
Tight triangulated manifolds are generalisations of neighborly triangulations of closed surfaces and are interesting objects in Combinatorial Topology. Tight triangulated manifolds are conjectured to be minimal. Except few, all the known…
We consider a combinatorial reconfiguration problem on a subclass of quadrangulations of surfaces called square-tiled surfaces. Our elementary move is a shear in a cylinder that corresponds to a well-chosen sequence of diagonal flips that…
The Circle Pattern Theorem characterizes the existence and rigidity of circle patterns with prescribed intersection angles on simplicial triangulations of closed surfaces. In this paper we extend the theorem to quasi-simplicial…
We prove a novel desingularization theorem, that allows to smoothly attach two given manifolds with corners by suitably gluing a pair of isometric faces, with control on both the scalar curvature of the resulting space and the mean…
