Period Matrices of Polyhedral Surfaces

Part of the Lecture Notes in Mathematics book series (LNM,volume 2013)

Abstract

Finding a conformal parameterization for a surface and computing its period matrix is a classical problem which is useful in a lot of contexts, from statistical mechanics to computer graphics.
