  bibo_abstract:
  - "A variety of problems in geometry processing boil down to finding the most\r\nparallel
    field relative to a connection. Instances of this prototypical problem\r\nshow
    up in computing direction fields and stripe patterns, quadrilateral\r\nmeshing,
    and visualization of fluid flows. When the class of allowed fields\r\nincludes
    those with topological defects, a relaxation is required to make\r\nthe problem
    well-posed. We observe that these problems can be viewed\r\nas synchronization
    problems, which admit a natural semidefinite relaxation.\r\nWe propose a unified
    method of solving all these problems via the efficient\r\nBurer-Monteiro factorization
    method. Geometrically, this amounts to lifting the field values to a higher-dimensional
    manifold, naturally resolving\r\nthe singular nature of defects. Practically,
    we show that our convex relaxation method achieves better and more reliable optima
    than previous work\r\nemploying alternative relaxations@eng"
