Rigidity of the hexagonal Delaunay triangulated plane (Q6039128): Difference between revisions

Let \(\Sigma\) be a surface without boundary, and \(T = (V, E, F)\) be a triangulation on \(\Sigma\), where \(V\) is the set of vertices, \(E\) is the set of edges, and \(F\) is the set of faces. A piecewise linear metric is a function \(l:E \rightarrow (0,+\infty)\), such that for each \(ijk \in F\), \(ijk\) forms an Euclidean triangle. If we require the lengths of the edges are positive, but the triangle inequality can be equality, \(l\) is called a generalized picewise linear metric. The main result proved in this paper states that if \(l\) is a generalized piecewise linear metric on \(\mathbb{C}\) with standard hexagonal triangulation, which is piecewise linear conformal to \(l_{0} \equiv 1\), \((T, l)\) is flat, isometric to \((T, l_{0})\) and is Delaunay, then \(l\) is a positive constant. As a consequence, a rigidity theorem for a particular type of locally finite convex ideal hyperbolic polyhedra is obtained.
