Exact counting of spherical metrics with one conical singularity on rectangular tori

We prove that for every integer $n\geq 2$ and $8\pi(n-1)<\rho<8\pi n$, the singular Liouville equation $\Delta u+\e^u=\rho\delta_0$ on a rectangular torus $E_{\mathrm{i}b}=\mathbb{C}/(\mathbb Z+\mathrm{i} b\mathbb Z)$ has exactly $n$ solutions, which are all axisymmetric. Together with previous results by Chen-Lin and...
