Moduli spaces of polygons and deformations of polyhedra with boundary

preprint2022arXivOpen access

Abstract

We prove a conjecture of Ian Agol: all isometric realizations of a polyhedral surface with boundary sweep out an isotropic subset in the Kapovich-Millson moduli space of polygons isomorphic to the boundary. For a generic polyhedral disk we show that boundaries of its isometric realizations make up a Lagrangian subset. As an application of this result, we obtain a new solution to the problem of Richard Kenyon about spanning domes of piecewise linear curves comprised of unit intervals in R^3.
