# Mathematical Validation
This document lists analytically known results and explains how to verify
them against conformallab++ output. It is the primary tool for an independent
mathematician to check the correctness of the implementation.
---
## How to run the examples
```bash
cmake -S code -B build -DWITH_CGAL=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build --target conformallab_cgal_tests
ctest --test-dir build -R cgal --output-on-failure
```
All 170 tests pass (11 skipped by design — see `doc/api/tests.md`).

## 1 — GaussBonnet (topology)
**Theorem.** For any closed triangulated surface M,
```
Σᵥ (2π Θᵥ) = 2π · χ(M)
```
where χ(M) = 2 2g is the Euler characteristic.
| Surface | g | χ | Σ(2π Θᵥ) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sphere (tetrahedron, cube, …) | 0 | 2 | 4π |
| Torus | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| Double torus | 2 | 2 | 4π |
**How to check:**
```cpp
#include "gauss_bonnet.hpp"
auto defect = gauss_bonnet_sum(mesh, maps); // Σ(2π Θᵥ)
auto chi = mesh.euler_characteristic();
EXPECT_NEAR(defect, 2.0 * M_PI * chi, 1e-10);
```
Covered by: `cgal.GaussBonnet.*` tests in `test_phase6.cpp`.

## 2 — Period matrix: fundamental domain invariants
**Theorem (SL(2,)-reduction).** Every lattice τ ∈ has a unique representative
in the standard fundamental domain
```
F = { τ ∈ : |τ| ≥ 1, |Re(τ)| ≤ 1/2, Im(τ) > 0 }
```
**After calling `compute_period_matrix(hol)`, the returned τ must satisfy:**
| Condition | Invariant |
|---|---|
| `pd.tau_reduced.imag() > 0` | τ lies in the upper half-plane |
| `std::abs(pd.tau_reduced) >= 1.0 - 1e-10` | τ outside unit disk |
| `std::abs(pd.tau_reduced.real()) <= 0.5 + 1e-10` | τ in vertical strip |
These three conditions hold for **any** closed genus-1 triangulated surface
processed through Euclidean uniformization — they are topology, not geometry.
Covered by: `cgal.PeriodMatrix.TauInFundamentalDomain_*` tests in `test_phase7.cpp`.
---
## 3 — Square-symmetric torus
**Setup.** Take a torus mesh with 4-fold rotational symmetry around the z-axis
(e.g. `code/data/off/torus_4x4.off`, which has M=4 columns of vertices).
**Expected.** The symmetry group Z₄ acts conformally. Conformal automorphisms
of the torus correspond to SL(2,) symmetries of τ. The unique fixed point of
a rotation of order 4 in the modular group is τ = i. Therefore:
```
For a mesh with exact 4-fold symmetry and uniform edge lengths:
Re(τ) = 0 (to machine precision, by symmetry)
Im(τ) ≈ 1 (approaches 1 as mesh is refined)
```
The coarse 4×4 mesh (`torus_4x4.off`) gives Im(τ) in (0.7, 1.3) depending on
the 3D embedding (R=2, r=1 torus of revolution has unequal inner/outer edge lengths).
The uniformization algorithm finds the conformal class of the *abstract* metric
encoded in the edge lengths.
**Manual verification** (run from the build directory after adding a small
program or reading from the test output):
```cpp
ConformalMesh mesh; load_mesh(mesh, "code/data/off/torus_4x4.off");
EuclideanMaps maps = setup_euclidean_maps(mesh);
compute_euclidean_lambda0_from_mesh(mesh, maps);
enforce_gauss_bonnet(mesh, maps);
auto res = newton_euclidean(mesh, maps);
CutGraph cg = compute_cut_graph(mesh);
HolonomyData hol;
euclidean_layout(mesh, res.x, maps, &cg, &hol, true);
PeriodData pd = compute_period_matrix(hol);
// pd.tau_reduced satisfies the fundamental domain invariants above
```

## 4 — Hexagonal-symmetric torus
**Setup.** Take a torus mesh with 6-fold rotational symmetry
(`code/data/off/torus_hex_6x6.off`, M=6).
**Expected.** The unique τ fixed under a rotation of order 6 in SL(2,) is
τ = e^{iπ/3} = ½ + i√3/2. So:
```
Re(τ) = 0.5 (to machine precision, by symmetry)
Im(τ) = √3/2 ≈ 0.8660
```
The coarse 6×6 torus of revolution approximates this: Re(τ) ≈ 0.5 by symmetry,
Im(τ) approaches √3/2 as the mesh is refined toward a flat hexagonal lattice.
---
## 5 — Newton convergence rate
**Theorem.** Because the Euclidean and hyper-ideal energies are strictly convex
(after gauge-fixing), Newton's method converges quadratically near the optimum.
**Expected:** for any mesh with up to a few hundred faces, Newton converges in
**fewer than 30 iterations** starting from u = 0.
```cpp
auto res = newton_euclidean(mesh, maps);
EXPECT_LT(res.iterations, 30);
EXPECT_LT(res.gradient_norm, 1e-10);
```
Covered by: `cgal.EuclideanPipeline.ConvRates_*` and similar tests.
---
## 6 — Gradient check (finite differences)
For each functional F(u), the gradient G = ∂F/∂u is verified by:
```
|G(u)ᵢ (F(u + εeᵢ) F(u εeᵢ)) / (2ε)| < 1e-6
```
with ε = 1e-5. This check is run **inside the test suite** for all three
geometries (Euclidean, Spherical, HyperIdeal) at u = 0 and at random u.
Relevant test suites:
```
cgal.EuclideanFunctional.GradientCheck_*
cgal.SphericalFunctional.GradientCheck_*
cgal.HyperIdealFunctional.GradientCheck_*
```
A failing gradient check means the energy and its derivative are inconsistent —
the Newton solver will converge to the wrong point.
---
## 7 — Holonomy composition (Möbius maps)
For a closed surface, the composition of holonomies around any contractible cycle
must be the identity. In genus 1 with a single handle:
```
T₁ · T₂ · T₁⁻¹ · T₂⁻¹ = Id (commutator = Id for a torus)
```
because π₁(T²) = × is abelian.
For genus g ≥ 2, the fundamental group is non-abelian and this check does not hold,
but the representation ρ: π₁(Σ_g) → SU(1,1) must still satisfy the relation
```
[T₁, T₂] · [T₃, T₄] · … = Id (product of g commutators = Id)
```
These are the **holonomy consistency** checks implemented in `test_phase7.cpp`
(`cgal.HolonomyData.*`).
---
## 8 — Checklist for an independent reviewer
Run these in order to validate the implementation:
- [ ] `ctest --test-dir build -R cgal --output-on-failure` → 170 tests pass, 11 skip
- [ ] `cgal.GaussBonnet.*` all pass → topology is correctly read from mesh
- [ ] `cgal.EuclideanFunctional.GradientCheck_*` pass → energy = integral of gradient
- [ ] `cgal.PeriodMatrix.TauInFundamentalDomain_*` pass → SL(2,) reduction correct
- [ ] `cgal.MobiusMap.Compose_*` and `Inverse_*` pass → Möbius arithmetic correct
- [ ] `cgal.HolonomyData.*` pass → holonomy loops close up
All of the above are **deterministic, analytic tests** — no mesh loading, no
file I/O, no floating-point non-determinism beyond standard IEEE-754.
