چکیده

We study the symplectic geometry of the moduli spaces Mr = Mr(H ) of closed n-gons with fixed side-lengths in hyperbolic three-space. We prove that these moduli spaces have almost canonical symplectic structures. They are the symplectic quotients of B by the dressing action of SU(2) (here B is the standard Borel subgroup of SL2(C)). We show that the hyperbolic Gauss map sets up a real analytic isomorphism between the spaces Mr and the weighted quotients of (S ) by PSL2(C) studied by Deligne and Mostow. We construct an integrable Hamiltonian system on Mr by bending polygons along nonintersecting diagonals. We describe angle variables and the momentum polyhedron for this system. The results of this paper are the analogues for hyperbolic space of the results of [KM2] for Mr(E ), the space of n-gons with fixed side-lengths in E. We prove Mr(H ) and Mr(E ) are symplectomorphic.

We study the geometry of manifolds carrying symplectic pairs consisting of two closed 2-forms of constant ranks, whose kernel foliations are complementary. Using a variation of the construction of Boothby and Wang we build contact-symplectic and contact pairs from symplectic pairs.

The Coxeter simplex with symbol is a compact hyperbolic 4-simplex and the related Coxeter group Γ is a discrete subgroup of Isom(H 4). The Coxeter simplex with symbol is a spherical 3-simplex, and the related Coxeter group G is the group of symmetries of the regular 120-cell. Using the geometry of the regular 120-cell, Davis [3] constructed an epimorphism Γ → G whose kernel K was torsion-free, ...
