  ABSTRACT: Analytic solutions for elastostatic displacement due to vertical/shear traction applied to the faces of a single crack in a 2D plane are reviewed in Section 2. The purpose of this review is to introduce mathematics relevant to specifying multi-crack elastostatic displacements. In Section 3, the relation between multi- crack elastostatic displacement fields and Riemann surface geometry is discussed. Section 4 explains why 2D multi-crack solutions appear limited to describe idealized cracks in 2 spatial dimensions, and conjectures how 3D fracture networks in the lithosphere can be described in terms of singular spectrum analysis of crack phase fields.
