Beside simplices, n-cubes form an important class of simple polyhedra. Unlike hyperbolic Coxeter simplices, hyperbolic Coxeter n-cubes are not classified. We show that there is no hyperbolic Coxeter n-cube for n ≥ 6, and provide a full classification for n ≤ 5. Our methods, which are essentially of combinatorial and algebraic nature, can be (and have been successfully) implemented in a symbolic computation software such as Mathematica .
Hyperbolic truncated simplices are polyhedra bounded by at most 2n + 2 hyperplanes in hyperbolic n-space. They provide important models in the context of hyperbolic space forms of small volume. In this work, we derive an explicit formula for their inradius by algebraic means and by using the concept of reduced Gram matrix. As an illustration, we discuss implications for some polyhedra related to small volume arithmetic orientable hyperbolic orbifolds.
For Coxeter groups acting non-cocompactly but with finite covolume on real hyperbolic space H n , new methods are presented to distinguish them up to (wide) commensurability. We exploit these ideas and determine the commensurability classes of all hyperbolic Coxeter groups whose fundamental polyhedra are pyramids over a product of two simplices of positive dimensions.
Beside simplices, n-cubes form an important class of simple polyhedra. Unlike hyperbolic Coxeter simplices, hyperbolic Coxeter n-cubes are not classified. In this work, we first show that there are no Coxeter n-cubes in H n for n ≥ 10. Then, we show that the ideal ones exist only for n = 2 and 3, and provide a classification. The methods used are of combinatorial and algebraic nature, using properties of a Coxeter graph, its Schläfli matrix, and the Gram matrix of a polyhedron.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
