48 results for skeletal joints

Skeletal signatures were introduced in [J W Anderson and A Wootton, A Lower Bound for the Number of Group Actions on a Compact Riemann Surface, Algebr. Geom.

We consider a generic configuration of regions, consisting of a collection of distinct compact regions {Ωi}\{Ω_i\} in Rn+1\mathbb{R}^{n+1} which may be either smooth regions disjoint from the others or regions which meet on their piecewise smooth boundaries Bi\mathcal{B}_i in a generic way. We introduce a skeletal linking …

We prove that the number of distinct group actions on compact Riemann surfaces of a fixed genus σ2σ\geq 2 is at least quadratic in σσ.
