Abstract
Classical theory of Riemann surfaces is a pillar in mathematics and has many applications within and outside of mathematics. There have been many approaches to establish discrete versions of conformal geometry for polyhedral surfaces since the pioneer work of W. Thurston in 1978. In this talk, we will report some of the recent developments in this area. These include a notion of discrete conformality, a discrete uniformization theorem and some open problems.
This is a joint work with Xianfeng Gu, Jian Sun and Tianqi Wu.
Speaker Intro
Feng Luo works in geometry and topology in dimensions 2, 3 and 4. He obtained his BS from Peking University in 1983 and Ph.D. from UC Sand Diego in 1989. After a postdoctoral fellowship at UCLA, he has been a faculty at Rutgers University since 1993.
