Critical points and geometric properties of Green's functions on open surfaces
From MaRDI portal
Publication:2350652
Abstract: We study the dynamics of the vector field on an open surface given by the gradient of a Green's function. This dynamical approach enables us to show that this field induces an invariant decomposition of the surface as the union of a disk and a 1-skeleton that encodes the topology of the surface. We analyze the structure of this 1-skeleton, thereby obtaining, in particular, a topological upper bound for the number of critical points a Green's function can have. Connections between the dynamical properties of the gradient field and the conformal structure of the surface are also discussed.
