Edge $i$ joins vertex $i$ to vertex $i+1 \pmod{n}$. We can act on polygon with $2 \times 2$ matrices. We define the rotation by $\frac{\pi}{6}$ below: ```{code-cell} R = matrix(AA, [[cos(pi / 6), -sin(pi / 6)], [sin(pi / 6), cos(pi / 6)]]) show(R) ``` ```{code-cell} R * p1 ``` Define a surface over the field AA of algebraic reals. ```{code-cell} from flatsurf import MutableOrientedSimilaritySurface surface = MutableOrientedSimilaritySurface(AA) ``` Add two polygons to the surface with labels 0 and 1: ```{code-cell} surface.add_polygon(p0, label=0) ``` ```{code-cell} surface.add_polygon(p1, label=1) ``` Glue the edges of polygon 0 to the parallel edges of polygon 1. ```{code-cell} surface.glue((0, 6), (1, 0)) surface.glue((0, 10), (1, 1)) surface.glue((0, 2), (1, 2)) ``` Add three more rotated triangles and glue them appropriately. ```{code-cell} for i in range(1, 4): surface.add_polygon((R**i) * p1, label=i + 1) surface.glue((0, 6 + i), (i + 1, 0)) surface.glue((0, (10 + i) % 12), (i + 1, 1)) surface.glue((0, 2 + i), (i + 1, 2)) ``` Now we have a closed surface. In fact this is a translation surface: ```{code-cell} surface ``` Once we are done building the surface, it is recommended to make the surface immutable. This lets sage-flatsurf figure out of which nature this surface is, e.g., that it is a translation surface. This speeds up many operations on the surface and makes it possible to compute things that are only defined or implemented for some types of surfaces: ```{code-cell} surface.set_immutable() surface ``` If you want to compute things, such as the stratum without making a surface immutable, please refer to the details in the documentation of the ``flatsurf.geometry.categories`` module in the module reference. We can plot the surface. Edges are labeled according to the polygon they are glued to. ```{code-cell} surface.plot() ``` The field containing the vertices: ```{code-cell} surface.base_ring() ``` Computations in the Algebraic Real Field (AA) are slow. It is better to use a NumberField. The following finds a smaller number field:: ```{code-cell} vertices = [surface.polygon(p).vertex(v) for (p, v) in surface.edges()] vertices = [vertex[0] for vertex in vertices] + [vertex[1] for vertex in vertices] base_ring = Sequence( [coordinate.as_number_field_element()[1] for coordinate in vertices] ).universe() ss = surface.change_ring(base_ring) ``` ```{code-cell} ss.base_ring() ``` ## Getting a surface from Flipper Flipper is a program written by Mark Bell which understands mapping classes and can compute the flat structure associated to a pseudo-Anosov mapping class. FlatSurf can import this structure. This code below requires flipper to be installed. You can do this by running the shell within sage: sage --sh Then within the shell execute: python -m pip install flipper --user --upgrade More information including pitfalls are described in Flipper's installation instructions. ```{code-cell} import flipper ``` ```{code-cell} T = flipper.load("SB_4") ``` ```{code-cell} h = T.mapping_class("s_0S_1s_2S_3s_1S_2") ``` ```{code-cell} h.is_pseudo_anosov() ``` ```{code-cell} s = translation_surfaces.from_flipper(h) ``` The surface s is actually a half translation surface ```{code-cell} s ``` ```{code-cell} s.plot() ``` ## From polyhedra ```{code-cell} from flatsurf.geometry.polyhedra import platonic_dodecahedron polyhedron, s, mapping = platonic_dodecahedron() ``` The surface $s$ is a Euclidean cone surface. ```{code-cell} s ``` ```{code-cell} s.plot() ``` Sage has a built in polyhedron class. You can build a polyhedron as a convex hull of a list of vertices. ```{code-cell} polyhedron = Polyhedron([(0, 0, 0), (1, 0, 0), (0, 1, 0), (0, 0, 1)]) ``` ```{code-cell} polyhedron.plot() ``` The following computes the boundary surface as a Euclidean cone surface. It also provides a map from the surface to the polyhedron. ```{code-cell} from flatsurf.geometry.polyhedra import polyhedron_to_cone_surface s, mapping = polyhedron_to_cone_surface(polyhedron) s ``` ```{code-cell} s.plot() ``` ## Defining an infinite surface from scratch Finite surfaces can be built by gluing polygons into a ``MutableOrientedSimilaritySurface``. For an infinite surface, we need to subclass ``OrientedSimilaritySurface`` and implement a few methods ourselves: ```{code-cell} from flatsurf.geometry.surface import OrientedSimilaritySurface from flatsurf.geometry.categories import TranslationSurfaces class ParabolaSurface(OrientedSimilaritySurface): def __init__(self): # For finite surfaces, the category can be determined automotatically # but for infinite surfaces, we need to make an explicit choice here. super().__init__( QQ, category=TranslationSurfaces().InfiniteType().WithoutBoundary().Connected(), ) def __repr__(self): r""" Return a printable representation of this surface. """ return "ParabolaSurface()" def roots(self): r""" Return a label for each connected component of the surface. Iterating the polygons of the connected component starts at these labels. """ return (1,) def is_mutable(self): r""" Return whether this surface can be modified by the user. """ return False def is_compact(self): r""" Return whether this surface is a compact space. """ return False def __eq__(self, other): r""" Return whether this surface is indistinguishable from ``other``. """ return isinstance(other, ParabolaSurface) def __hash__(self): r""" Return a hash value for this surface that is compatible with ``__eq``. """ return hash(type(self)) def graphical_surface(self, **kwds): r""" Return a plottable representation of this surface. """ graphical_surface = super().graphical_surface(**kwds) # Make the first six polygons of the surface visible by default when plotting. graphical_surface.make_all_visible(limit=6) return graphical_surface def polygon(self, label): r""" Return the polygon making up this surface labeled ``label``. """ if label not in ZZ or label == 0: raise ValueError(f"invalid label {label}") if label < 0: return matrix(QQ, [[-1, 0], [0, -1]]) * self.polygon(-label) if label == 1: return Polygon(vertices=[(0, 0), (1, 1), (-1, 1)], base_ring=QQ) return Polygon( vertices=[ (label - 1, (label - 1) ** 2), (label, label**2), (-label, label**2), (-label + 1, (label - 1) ** 2), ], base_ring=QQ, ) def opposite_edge(self, label, e): if label not in ZZ or label == 0: raise ValueError(f"invalid label {label}") if label in [-1, 1] and e not in [0, 1, 2]: raise ValueError("no such edge") if e not in [0, 1, 2, 3]: raise ValueError("no such edge") if label in [-1, 1] and e == 1: return 2 * label, 3 if e in [0, 2]: return -label, e if e == 1: return label + label.sign(), 3 return label - label.sign(), 1 ``` ```{code-cell} s = ParabolaSurface() s ``` ```{code-cell} s.plot() ``` We can run a test suite to ensure that we have implemented everything that is needed to make this a fully functional surface. ```{code-cell} TestSuite(s).run(verbose=True) ```
