Combinatorial Ricci flow on a cusped $3$-manifold is an analogue of Chow-Luos combinatorial Ricci flow on surfaces and Luos combinatorial Ricci flow on compact $3$-manifolds with boundary for finding complete hyperbolic metrics on cusped $3$-manifolds. Dual to Casson and Rivins program of maximizing the volume of angle structures, combinatorial Ricci flow finds the complete hyperbolic metric on a cusped $3$-manifold by minimizing the co-volume of decorated hyperbolic polyhedral metrics. The combinatorial Ricci flow may develop singularities. We overcome this difficulty by extending the flow through the potential singularities using Luo-Yangs extension. It is shown that the existence of a complete hyperbolic metric on a cusped $3$-manifold is equivalent to the convergence of the extended combinatorial Ricci flow, which gives a new characterization of existence of a complete hyperbolic metric on a cusped $3$-manifold dual to Casson and Rivins program. The extended combinatorial Ricci flow also provides an effective algorithm for finding complete hyperbolic metrics on cusped $3$-manifolds.
Combinatorial Ricci flow on an ideally triangulated compact 3-manifold with boundary was introduced by Luo as a 3-dimensional analog of Chow-Luos combinatorial Ricci flow on a triangulated surface and conjectured to find algorithmically the complete
We complete the proof of the Generalized Smale Conjecture, apart from the case of $RP^3$, and give a new proof of Gabais theorem for hyperbolic 3-manifolds. We use an approach based on Ricci flow through singularities, which applies uniformly to sphe
This paper gives a combinatorial description of spin and spin^c-structures on triangulated PL-manifolds of arbitrary dimension. These formulations of spin and spin^c-structures are established primarily for the purpose of aiding in computations. The
Using the fractional discrete Laplace operator for triangle meshes, we introduce a fractional combinatorial Calabi flow for discrete conformal structures on surfaces, which unifies and generalizes Chow-Luos combinatorial Ricci flow for Thurstons circ
This paper studies the combinatorial Yamabe flow on hyperbolic surfaces with boundary. It is proved by applying a variational principle that the length of boundary components is uniquely determined by the combinatorial conformal factor. The combinato
