Geometry of Discrete Conformal Structures
摘要
The relationship between discrete conformal structures on closed surfaces and those on surfaces with boundary is established in this article. Five discrete conformal structures for closed hyperbolic polyhedral surfaces and another five for hyperbolic surfaces with boundary are studied. Each structure can be derived from the trigonometry of a generalized hyperbolic triangle. The geometric meaning and symmetry of the Jacobian matrix associated to a discrete conformal structure is investigated.
