The study finds all possible 3D polytopes in Riemannian 3-manifolds with positive scalar curvature.

In this paper, we prove the existence of energy minimizers in each free homotopy class of maps between polyhedra with target space without focal points. Our proof involves a careful study of some geometric properties of riemannian polhyedra without focal points. Among other things, we show that on the relevant polyhedr…

The goal of the present paper is to establish some kind of regularity of an energy minimizer map between Riemannian polyhedra. More precisely, we will show the hölder continuity of local energy minimizers between Riemannian polyhedra with the target spaces without focal points. With this new result, we also complete ou…

Paper solves long-standing problem of infinite ideal polyhedra in hyperbolic space.

Study on 1-Uryson width of polyhedra and their covers.

For a Riemannian polyhedra, we study the geometry of the unit ball for the unidimensional stable norm (stable ball). In the case of a unidimensional Riemannian polyhedra (graph), we show that the stable ball is a polytope whose vertices are completely described by combinatorial properties of the graph. We study then th…

Formula for transgressions on polyhedral manifolds, linking face volumes and outer angles.

We study analytic properties of harmonic maps from Riemannian polyhedra into CAT($κ$) spaces for $κ\in\{0,1\}$. Locally, on each top-dimensional face of the domain, this amounts to studying harmonic maps from smooth domains into CAT($κ$) spaces. We compute a target variation formula that captures the curvature bound in…

The paper sets new limits on hyperbolic polyhedra volumes.

A compact polyhedron $X$ is said to have the Bounded Index Property for Homotopy Equivalence (BIPHE) if there is a finite bound $\mathcal{B}$ such that for any homotopy equivalence $f:X\rightarrow X$ and any fixed point class $\mathbf{F}$ of $f$, the index $|\mathrm{ind}(f,\mathbf{F})|\leq \mathcal{B}$. In this note, w…

The study sets limits on dihedral angles of large hyperbolic polyhedra.

We define Dirichlet type series associated with homology length spectra of Riemannian, or Finsler, manifolds, or polyhedra, and investigate some of their analytical properties. As a consequence we obtain an inequality analogous to Gromov's classical intersystolic inequality, but taking the whole homology length spectru…

We prove a Gauss-Bonnet theorem for (finite coverings of) moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces endowed with the McMullen metric. The proof uses properties of an exhaustion of moduli spaces by compact submanifolds with corners and the Gauss-Bonnet formula of Allendoerfer and Weil for Riemannian polyhedra.

Improved volume estimates for right-angled polyhedra in hyperbolic space.

We study convex polyhedra in $\mathbb{R}\mathbb{P}^3$ with all their vertices on a sphere. We do not require, in particular, that the polyhedra lie in the interior of the sphere, hence the term "weakly inscribed". Such polyhedra can be interpreted as ideal polyhedra, if we regard $\mathbb{R}\mathbb{P}^3$ as a combinati…

We review several results related to the characterization of polyhedra in hyperbolic 3-space. In particular we present Rivin's theorem that gives a characterization of compact convex hyperbolic polyhedra, and Hodgson's proof of the Adreev's theorem. We also review the analogous characterization of ideal polyhedra, and …

Polyhedra volume conjecture supports Stoker conjecture weakly.

We state that any constant curvature Riemannian metric with conical singularities of constant sign curvature on a compact (orientable) surface $S$ can be realized as a convex polyhedron in a Riemannian or Lorentzian) space-form. Moreover such a polyhedron is unique, up to global isometries, among convex polyhedra invar…

We have completely rewritten the paper, and corrected the proofs. We construct an exponential map at any point in the (n-1)-skeleton minus the (n-2)-skeleton of an n-dimensional Riemannian polyhedron. We have added allover the extra-assumption that the exponential map is totally geodesic at points in the (n-1)-skeleton…

In this paper we consider a class of right-angled polyhedra in three-dimensional Lobachevsky space, all vertices of which lie on the absolute. New upper bounds on volumes in terms the number of faces of the polyhedron are obtained. Volumes of polyhedra with at most 23 faces are computed. It is shown that the minimum vo…

This article defines a pair of combinatorial operations on the combinatorial structure of compact right-angled hyperbolic polyhedra in dimension three called decomposition and edge surgery. It is shown that these operations simplify the combinatorics of such a polyhedron, while keeping it within the class of right-angl…

Intermediate logic of all convex polyhedra is axiomatized.

We present a notion of mutation of hyperbolic polyhedra, analogous to mutation in knot theory, and then present a general question about commensurability of mutant pairs of polyhedra. We motivate that question with several concrete examples of mutant pairs for which commensurability is unknown. The polyhedra we conside…

The paper solves three problems related to monostable polyhedra.

The paper proves a spacetime version of dihedral rigidity for cubes in 3D spacetime.

The aim of this paper is to extend the notion of pseudo harmonic morphism (introduced by Loubeau \cite {Lo}) to the case when the source manifold is an admissible Riemannian polyhedron. We define these maps to be harmonic in the sense of Eells-Fuglede \cite {EF} and pseudo-horizontally weakly conformal in our sense (se…

In this article we establish the relation between the spines of 3-manifolds and the polyhedra with identified faces. We do this by showing that the spines of the closed, connected, orientable 3-manifolds can be presented through polyhedra with identified faces in a very natural way. We also prove the equivalence betwee…

We consider a natural question: "Is it true that each homotopy domination of a polyhedron over itself is a homotopy equivalence?" and a strongly related problem of K. Borsuk (1967): "Is it true that two ANR's homotopy dominating each other have the same homotopy type?" The answer was earlier known to be positive for ma…

An algorithm for determining the list of smallest volume right-angled hyperbolic polyhedra in dimension 3 is described. This algorithm has been implemented on computer using the program Orb to compute volumes, and the first 825 polyhedra in the list have been determined.

The paper proves rigidity and uniformization theorems for infinite circle patterns and convex polyhedra in hyperbolic 3-space.

In [6], Kellerhals and Perren conjectured that the growth rates of the reflection groups given by hyperbolic Coxeter polyhedra are always Perron numbers. We prove that this conjecture is always true for the case of ideal Coxeter polyhedra in $\mathbb{H}^3$. We also find out the ideal Coxeter polyhedron in $\mathbb{H}^3…
