A Note on Toroidal Maxwell-Cremona Correspondences

Abstract

We explore toroidal analogues of the Maxwell-Cremona correspondence. Erickson and Lin [arXiv:2003.10057] showed the following correspondence for geodesic torus graphs GG: a positive equilibrium stress for GG, an orthogonal embedding of its dual graph GG^*, and vertex weights such that GG is the intrinsic weighted Delaunay graph of its vertices. We extend their results to equilibrium stresses that are not necessarily positive, which correspond to orthogonal drawings of GG^* that are not necessarily embeddings. We also give a correspondence between equilibrium stresses and parallel drawings of the dual.
