Conformal Variations of Piecewise Constant Curvature Two and Three Dimensional Manifolds

Piecewise constant curvature manifolds are discrete analogues of Riemannian manifolds in which edge lengths play the role of the metric tensor. These triangulated manifolds are specified by two types of data: 1. Each edge in the triangulation is assigned a real-valued length. 2. For each simplex in...
