On the classification of singular flat structures on surfaces

Metric Geometry 2010-11-23 v1

Abstract

We study in this work flat surfaces with conical singularities, that is, surfaces provided with a flat structure with conical singular points. Finding good parameters for these surfaces in the general case is an open question. We give an answer to this question in the case of flat structures on pairs of pants with one singular point. The question of decomposability of an arbitrary flat surface into flat pairs of pants is discussed.
