Characterizing the Delaunay decompositions of compact hyperbolic surfaces

Gregory Leibon

Geometry & Topology 6 (2002) 361–391

DOI: 10.2140/gt.2002.6.361

Abstract

Given a Delaunay decomposition of a compact hyperbolic surface, one may record the topological data of the decomposition, together with the intersection angles between the “empty disks” circumscribing the regions of the decomposition. The main result of this paper is a characterization of when a given topological decomposition and angle assignment can be realized as the data of an actual Delaunay decomposition of a hyperbolic surface.
