Conformally symmetric circle packings: A generalization of Doyle's spirals.
We present a constructive proof of Alexandrov’s theorem on the existence of a convex polytope with a given metric on the boundary. The polytope is obtained by deforming certain generalized convex polytopes with the given boundary. We study the space of generalized convex polytopes and discover a connection with weighted Delaunay triangulations of polyhedral surfaces. The existence of the deformation follows from the non-degeneracy of the Hessian of the total scalar curvature of generalized convex...
We discuss a new formulation of the linear theory of discrete complex analysis on planar quad-graphs based on their medial graphs. It generalizes the theory on rhombic quad-graphs developed by Duffin, Mercat, Kenyon, Chelkak and Smirnov and follows the approach on general quad-graphs proposed by Mercat. We provide discrete counterparts of the most fundamental objects in complex analysis such as holomorphic functions, differential forms, derivatives, and the Laplacian. Also, we discuss discrete versions...
