Abstract: This work discovers the equivalence relation between quadrilateral meshes and meromorphic quartic. Each quad-mesh induces a conformal structure of the surface, and a meromorphic differential, where the configuration of singular vertices correspond to the configurations the poles and zeros (divisor) of the meroromorphic differential. Due to Riemann surface theory, the configuration of singularities of a quad-mesh satisfies the Abel-Jacobi condition. Inversely, if a satisfies the Abel-Jacobi condition, then there exists a meromorphic quartic differential whose equals to the given one. Furthermore, if the meromorphic quadric differential is with finite, then it also induces a a quad-mesh, the poles and zeros of the meromorphic differential to the singular vertices of the quad-mesh. Besides the theoretic proofs, the computational algorithm for verification of Abel-Jacobi condition is explained in details. Furthermore, constructive algorithm of meromorphic quartic differential on zero surfaces is proposed, which is based on the global algebraic representation of meromorphic. Our experimental results demonstrate the efficiency and efficacy of the algorithm. This opens up a direction for quad-mesh generation using algebraic geometric approach.
