Add the holonomy-signature paper to Selected Publications
New first entry, linking papers/holonomy-signatures.pdf with a six-bullet
abstract and a teaser thumbnail at public_html/respic/holonomy-small.jpg
(1024x1024 JPEG, 333 KB, matching the other entries).
The paper is "Which Holonomy Signatures Are Realizable? A Complete Answer for
Closed Surfaces", 28 pages, built without a date on the title page. Source
lives in the seamless_prove repository; only the PDF is here.

<li>A seamless parametrization carries a discrete invariant, its holonomy signature: the cone angles, all multiples of π/2, together with the rotational holonomy of the induced cross field. This is the datum a quadrangulation prescribes, and it decides whether any parametrization exists at all.</li>

<li>A Reduction Lemma shows that the mapping class group acts on signatures with fixed cone angles with orbits classified by the subgroup im ρ alone, so at most three cases survive per angle multiset instead of 4<sup>2g</sup>.</li>

+
<li>A dictionary identifies seamless parametrizations with meromorphic 4-differentials, under which im ρ measures primitivity, and realizability becomes non-emptiness of a stratum of primitive k-differentials.</li>

+
<li>Exactly five families of signatures fail to be realizable; every other admissible signature is realizable, in every genus. Two of the five appear to be new, and both live in genus two.</li>
1591
+
<li>Four of the five lie outside the gcd condition of the SIGGRAPH 2022 paper below, and the whole region that condition leaves open is settled here.</li>

+
<li>The non-emptiness half is also made constructive, via an explicit one-vertex square-tiled surface in every genus together with a local surgery that splits one cone into two of prescribed angles.</li>
