5 Conformal Mapping Definition (Conformal Mapping) Suppose (S 1,g 1 ) and (S 2,g 2 ) are two surfaces with Riemannian metrics. A conformal mapping φ : S 1 S 2 is a diffeomorphism, such that φ g 2 = e 2λ g 1.

6 Conformal Mapping Properties Conformal mappings preserve infinitesimal circles, and preserve angles.

7 Uniformization Theorem (Poincaré Uniformization Theorem) Let (Σ, g) be a compact 2-dimensional Riemannian manifold. Then there is a metric g=e 2λ g conformal to g which has constant Gauss curvature. Spherical Euclidean Hyperbolic

8 Uniformization Theorem (Poincaré Uniformization Theorem) Let (Σ, g) be a compact 2-dimensional Riemannian manifold with finite number of boundary components. Then there is a metric g conformal to g which has constant Gauss curvature, and constant geodesic curvature.

10 Isothermal Coordinates Relation between conformal structure and Riemannian metric Isothermal Coordinates A surface M with a Riemannian metric g, a local coordinate system (u,v) is an isothermal coordinate system, if g=e 2λ(u,v) (du 2 + dv 2 ).

11 Gaussian Curvature Gaussian Curvature Suppose ḡ=e 2λ g is a conformal metric on the surface, then the Gaussian curvature on interior points are K = Δ g λ = 1 e 2λΔλ, where Δ= 2 u v 2

12 Conformal Metric Deformation Definition Suppose M is a surface with a Riemannian metric, ( ) g11 g g= 12 g 21 g 22 Suppose λ :Σ R is a function defined on the surface, then e 2λ g is also a Riemannian metric on Σ and called a conformal metric. λ is called the conformal factor. g e 2λ g Angles are invariant measured by conformal metrics. Conformal metric deformation.

13 Curvature and Metric Relations Yamabi Equation Suppose ḡ=e 2λ g is a conformal metric on the surface, then the Gaussian curvature on interior points are K = e 2λ ( Δ g λ + K), geodesic curvature on the boundary k g = e λ ( n λ + k g ).

14 Surface Ricci Flow

15 Surface Ricci Flow Key Idea Because K = Δ g λ, Let then dk dt dλ dt = K, =Δ g K + 2K 2 Nonlinear heat equation! When t, K( ) constant.

16 Surface Ricci Flow Definition (Hamilton s Normalized Surface Ricci Flow) A closed surface S with a Riemannian metric g, the Ricci flow on it is defined as dg ij dt = 4πχ(S) A(0) 2Kg ij. where χ(s) is the Euler characteristic number of the surface S, A(0) is the total area at time 0. The total area of the surface is preserved during the normalized Ricci flow flow. The Ricci flow will converge to a metric such that the Gaussian curvature is constant every where, K( ) 2πχ(S). A(0)

17 Surface Ricci Flow Furthermore, the normalized surface Ricci flow dg ij dt = 4πχ(S) A(0) 2Kg ij. is conformal, g(t)=e 2u(t) g(0), where u(t):s R is a the conformal factor function, and the normalized Surface Ricci flow can be written as for every point p S. du(p, t) dt = 2πχ(S) A(0) K(p,t),

18 Ricci Flow Theorem (Hamilton 1982) For a closed surface of non-positive Euler characteristic, if the total area of the surface is preserved during the flow, the Ricci flow will converge to a metric such that the Gaussian curvature is constant (equals to K ) every where. Theorem (Bennett Chow) For a closed surface of positive Euler characteristic, if the total area of the surface is preserved during the flow, the Ricci flow will converge to a metric such that the Gaussian curvature is constant (equals to K ) every where.

45 Metric Space τki vk τjk Lemma For any three obtuse angles τ ij,τ jk,τ ki [0, π 2 ) and any three positive numbers r 1,r 2 and r 3, there is a configuration of 3 circles in Euclidean geometry, unique upto isometry, having radii r i and meeting in angles τ ij. lj hj θk hi o li Proof. θi hk θj vi lk vj max{r 2 i,r 2 j }<r 2 i +r 2 j +2r i r j cosτ ij (r i +r j ) 2 τij so max{r 2 i,r 2 j }<l k r i + r j l k r i + r j < l i + l j.

46 Discrete Ricci Energy Lemma ω is closed 1-form in Ω:={(u 1,u 2,u 3 ) R 3 }. τki vi vk θk hi lj hj o hk θi lk τjk li θj vj Because θ i u j dω = θ j u i, so = ( θ i u j θ j u i )du j du i + τij ( θ j u k θ k u j )du k du j + ω = θ i du i +θ j du j +θ k du j ( θ k θ i )du i du k u i u k = 0.

47 Discrete Ricci Energy τki vi lj θi hj θk vk lk hi o hk li τjk θj vj Lemma The Ricci energy E(u 1,u 2,u 3 ) is well defined. Because Ω=R 3 is convex, closed 1-form is exact, therefore E(u 1,u 2,u 3 ) is well defined. τij (u1,u 2,u 3 ) E(u 1,u 2,u 3 )= ω (0,0,0)

48 Discrete Ricci Energy τki vi lj θi hj θk vk τij (u1,u 2,u 3 ) E(u 1,u 2,u 3 )= ω (0,0,0) lk hi o hk li τjk θj vj Lemma The Ricci energy E(u 1,u 2,u 3 ) is strictly concave on the subspace u 1 + u 2 + u 3 = 0. The gradient E =(θ 1,θ 2,θ 3 ), the Hessian matrix is H = θ 1 u 1 θ 1 u 2 θ 1 u 3 θ 2 u 1 θ 2 u 2 θ 2 u 3 θ 3 u 1 θ 3 u 2 θ 3 u 3 because of θ 1 + θ 2 + θ 3 = π, θ i u i = θ i u j θ i u k = θ j u i θ k u i

49 Ricci energy Proof. H = h 3 l3 + h 2 l2 h 3 l3 h 2 l2 h 3 h 3 l3 l3 + h 1 l1 h 1 l1 h 2 l2 h 1 h 2 l1 l2 + h 1 l1 H is diagonal dominant, it has null space (1, 1, 1), on the subspace u 1 + u 2 + u 3 = 0, it is strictly negative definite. Therefore the discrete Ricci energy E(u 1,u 2,u 3 ) is strictly concave.

50 Discrete Ricci Energy Lemma The Ricci energy E(u) is strictly convex on the subspace vi M u i = 0. ω = K i du i v i M E(u)= M u 0 ω. M The gradient E =(K 1,K 2,,K n ). The Ricci energy E(u)=2π v i M u i [v i,v j,v k ] M E ijk (u i,u j,u k ) where E ijk is the ricci energy defined on the face [v i,v j,v k ]. The linear term won t affect the convexity of the energy. The null space of the Hessian is (1,1,,1). In the subspace u i = 0, the energy is strictly convex.

51 Uniqueness Lemma Suppose Ω R n is a convex domain, f :Ω R is a strictly convex function, then the map is one-to-one. Proof. x f(x) Suppose x 1 = x 2, f(x 1 )= f(x 2 ). Because Ω is convex, the line segment (1 t)x 1 + tx 2 is contained in Ω. construct a convex function g(t)=f((1 t)x 1 + tx 2 ), then g (t) is monotonous. But g (0)= f(x 1 ),x 2 x 1 = f(x 2 ),x 2 x 1 =g (1), contradiction.

52 Uniqueness x f(x) f(x) f(x) x 2 x 1 Ω Lemma Suppose Ω R n is a convex domain, f :Ω R is a strictly convex function, then the map x f(x) is one-to-one.

53 Uniqueness Theorem Suppose M is a mesh, with circle packing metric, all edge intersection angles are non-obtuse. Given the target curvature (K 1,K 2,,K n ), i K i = 2πχ(M). If the solution (u 1,u 2,,u n ) Ω(M), i u i = 0 exists, then it is unique. Proof. The discrete Ricci energy E on Ω { i u i = 0} is convex, E(u 1,u 2,,u n )=(K 1,K 2, K n ). Use previous lemma.
