Triangulations. (French) Zbl 0864.57013
The title refers to triangulations of surfaces. Under this innocent title the authors touch on and sketch proofs of many nontrivial results spanning a number of areas of physics and mathematics. These include, besides elementary topology, gravity in two dimensions, number theory, algebraic curves, modular groups, hypergraphs, rational function fields, and solitons.
