This sounds something you might read in a <a href="amazon.com/Angels-Demons-ebook/dp/B000FBJFSM/… Brown book</a>, about nefarious plots high up in the Catholic Church... :-) | |

Caicedo | Let me elaborate: Typically these inductions appear when there is some sort of ''topological derivative'' in the background, although there are of courses other settings. For a pretty example, look at the paper "Fixed Points, Koebe Uniformization and Circle Packings" by Zheng-Xu He and Oded Schramm, The Annals of Mathematics, Second Series, Vol. 137, No. 2, (Mar., 1993), pp. 369-406. | |
