Thurston proved that to a triangulation of the sphere of non-negative combinatorial curvature, one can associate an element in a certain lattice over the Eisenstein integers such that its orbit is a complete invariant of the triangulation. In this paper, we show that this association can be obtained naturally by using Type III degenerations of K3 surfaces.37 pagesAlgebraic GeometryTriangulations of the sphere and degenerations of K3 surfacestext
