Reshaping Convex Polyhedra

This monograph uncovers new research directions and reveals connections among several, apparently distant, topics in geometry: Alexandrov’s Gluing Theorem, shortest paths and cut loci, Cauchy’s Arm Lemma, domes, quasigeodesics, convexity, and algorithms throughout. The interplay between these topics...
