We introduce Quintessence: a family of burr puzzles based on the geometry and combinatorics of the 120-cell. We discuss the regular polytopes, their symmetries, the dodecahedron as an important special case, the three-sphere, and the quaternions. We then construct the 120-cell, giving an illustrated survey of its geome…
Let P be the right-angled dodecahedron or 120-cell in hyperbolic space, and let W be the group generated by reflections across codimension-one faces of P. We prove that if Gamma is a torsion-free subgroup of minimal index in W, then the corresponding hyperbolic manifold H^n/Gamma is determined up to homeomorphism by Ga…
A closed connected hyperbolic -manifold bounds geometrically if it is isometric to the geodesic boundary of a compact hyperbolic -manifold. A. Reid and D. Long have shown by arithmetic methods the existence of infinitely many manifolds that bound geometrically in every dimension. We construct here infinitely …
Kerckhoff and Storm conjectured that compact hyperbolic n-orbifolds with totally geodesic boundary are infinitesimally rigid when n>3. This paper verifies this conjecture for a specific example based on the 4-dimensional hyperbolic 120-cell.
New hyperbolic manifolds without spin structures found.
We prove that every complete finite-volume hyperbolic 3-manifold that is tessellated into (embedded) right-angled regular polyhedra (dodecahedra or ideal octahedra) embeds geodesically in a complete finite-volume connected orientable hyperbolic 4-manifold , which is also tessellated into right-angled regular pol…
Given an integer b and a finitely presented group G we produce a compact symplectic six-manifold with c_1 = 0, b_2 > b, b_3 > b and fundamental group G. In the simply-connected case we can also arrange for b_3 = 0; in particular these examples are not diffeomorphic to Kähler manifolds with c_1 = 0. The construction beg…
We explore some generalizations of fullerenes F_v (simple polyhedra with v vertices and only 5- and 6-gonal faces) seen as (d-1)-dimensional simple manifolds (preferably, spherical or polytopal) with only 5- and 6-gonal 2-faces. First, finite and planar (infinite) 3-fullerenes are described. Three infinite families of …
