Regular Honeycombs in Hyperbolic Space
made a study of honeycombs whose cells are equal regular polytopes in spaces of positive, zero, and negative curvature. The spherical and Euclidean honeycombs had already been described by Schlaf li (1855), but the only earlier mention of the hyperbolic honeycombs was when Stringham (1880, pp. 7, 12, and errata) discarded them as "imaginary figures", or, for the two-dimensional case, when Klein...

متن کاملEssential Hyperbolic Coxeter Polytopes
We introduce a notion of essential hyperbolic Coxeter polytope as a polytope which fits some minimality conditions. The problem of classification of hyperbolic reflection groups can be easily reduced to classification of essential Coxeter polytopes. We determine a potentially large combinatorial class of polytopes containing, in particular, all the compact hyperbolic Coxeter polytopes of dimens...
متن کاملOn hyperbolic virtual polytopes and hyperbolic fans
Abstract: Hyperbolic virtual polytopes arose originally as polytopal versions of counterexamples to the following A.D.Alexandrov’s uniqueness conjecture: Let K ⊂ R3 be a smooth convex body. If for a constant C, at every point of ∂K, we have R1 ≤ C ≤ R2 then K is a ball. (R1 and R2 stand for the principal curvature radii of ∂K.) This paper gives a new (in comparison with the previous constructio...
متن کاملMixing chiral polytopes
An abstract polytope of rank n is said to be chiral if its automorphism group has two orbits on the flags, such that adjacent flags belong to distinct orbits. Examples of chiral polytopes have been difficult to find. A “mixing” construction lets us combine polytopes to build new regular and chiral polytopes. By using the chirality group of a polytope, we are able to give simple criteria for whe...
