Proves hyperbolic 3-manifolds have angle structures under certain conditions.

This notes explores angle structures on ideally triangulated compact $3$-manifolds with high genus boundary. We show that the existence of angle structures implies the existence of a hyperbolic metric with totally geodesic boundary, and conversely each hyperbolic $3$-manifold with totally geodesic boundary has an ideal…

New hyperbolic polyhedra with $π/3$ angles and volumes calculated.

The paper sets new limits on hyperbolic polyhedra volumes.

For 3-dimensional hyperbolic cone structures with cone angles $θ$, local rigidity is known for $0 \leq θ\leq 2π$, but global rigidity is known only for $0 \leq θ\leq π$. The proof of the global rigidity by Kojima is based on the fact that hyperbolic cone structures with cone angles at most $π$ do not degenerate in defo…

The study introduces hyperbolic angles in Lorentzian spaces and characterizes curvature bounds.

We prove that the boundary of a right-angled hyperbolic building is a universal Menger space. Corollary: the 3-dimensional universal Menger space is the boundary of some Gromov-hyperbolic group.

Study shows RAAG automorphisms and outer automorphisms are not relatively hyperbolic.

We prove that among four-dimensional ideal right-angled hyperbolic polytopes the 24-cell is of minimal volume and of minimal facet number. As a corollary, a dimension bound for ideal right-angled hyperbolic polytopes is obtained.

Minimal covolume group found in hyperbolic 3-space.

We prove that every closed oriented 3-manifold admits a hyperbolic cone-manifold structure with cone-angle arbitrarily close to 2pi.

To any prime alternating link, we associate a collection of hyperbolic right-angled ideal polyhedra by relating geometric, topological and combinatorial methods to decompose the link complement. The sum of the hyperbolic volumes of these polyhedra is a new geometric link invariant, which we call the right-angled volume…

By gluing together the sides of eight copies of an all-right angled hyperbolic 6-dimensional polytope, two orientable hyperbolic 6-manifolds with Euler characteristic -1 are constructed. They are the first known examples of orientable hyperbolic 6-manifolds having the smallest possible volume.

Proves involutions on Right-angled Coxeter groups without fixed points.

We show that any compact orientable hyperbolic 3-cone-manifold with cone angle at most πcan be continuously deformed to a complete hyperbolic manifold homeomorphic to the complement of the singularity. This together with the local rigidity by Hodgson and Kerckhoff implies the global rigidity for compact orientable hype…

Paper generalizes Andreev's theorem with obtuse angles.

Introduces a new geometry based on difference angles, showing unique properties.

Given a combinatorial description $C$ of a polyhedron having $E$ edges, the space of dihedral angles of all compact hyperbolic polyhedra that realize $C$ is generally not a convex subset of $\mathbb{R}^E$ \cite{DIAZ}. If $C$ has five or more faces, Andreev's Theorem states that the corresponding space of dihedral angle…

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

Threshold found for hyperbolicity in random Coxeter groups.

We prove that, among all convex hyperbolic polygons with given angles, the perimeter is minimized by the unique polygon with an inscribed circle. The proof relies on work of J.-M.\ Schlenker.

New theorem disproves Angle Defect for super triangles.

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…

Study of infinitesimal rigidity in hyperbolic manifolds.

Recently, Hodgson and Kerckhoff found a small bound on Dehn surgered 3-manifolds from hyperbolic knots not admitting hyperbolic structures using deformations of hyperbolic cone-manifolds. They asked whether the area normalized meridian length squared of maximal tubular neighborhoods of the singular locus of the cone-ma…

Homology growth of specific mapping tori vanishes for certain groups.

We demonstrate how to construct three-dimensional compact hyperbolic polyhedra using Newton's Method. Under the restriction that the dihedral angles are non-obtuse, Andreev's Theorem provides as necessary and sufficient conditions five classes of linear inequalities for the dihedral angles of a compact hyperbolic polyh…

As was pointed out by Nikulin [8] and Vinberg [10], a right-angled polyhedron of finite volume in hyperbolic n-space $\mathbb{H}^n$ has at least one cusp for $n\geq 5$. We obtain non-trivial lower bounds on the number of cusps of such polyhedra. For example, right-angled polyhedra of finite volume must have at least th…

We introduce and study some deformations of complete finite-volume hyperbolic four-manifolds that may be interpreted as four-dimensional analogues of Thurston's hyperbolic Dehn filling. We construct in particular an analytic path of complete, finite-volume cone four-manifolds $M_t$ that interpolates between two hyperbo…

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.

Study character varieties of a Coxeter group in hyperbolic and Anti-de Sitter spaces.

For a hyperbolic surface S of finite type we consider the set A(S) of angles between closed geodesics on S. Our main result is that there are only finitely many rational multiples of πin A(S).

Cube complexes allow hyperbolic groups to have Anosov representations.

Crochet models of a hyperbolic plane is a popular educational tool as they help to visualize complicated objets in hyperbolic geometry. We present another way how to make crochet models when we view them as a part of a triangulated hyperbolic plane. We also provide a model of a cylinder in a hyperbolic space. This appr…

This paper describes a way to subdivide a 3-manifold into angled blocks, namely polyhedral pieces that need not be simply connected. When the individual blocks carry dihedral angles that fit together in a consistent fashion, we prove that a manifold constructed from these blocks must be hyperbolic. The main application…

Given a Delaunay decomposition of a compact hyperbolic surface, one may record the topological data of the decomposition, together with the intersection angles between the `empty disks' circumscribing the regions of the decomposition. The main result of this paper is a characterization of when a given topological decom…

In this paper we classify constant angle surfaces in $\H^2\times\R$, where $\H^2$ is the hyperbolic plane.

In this article, we prove a theorem comparing the dihedral angles of simplices in the hyperbolic, spherical and Euclidean geometries.

We study the geometry of oriented right-angled hexagons in H^4, the hyperbolic 4-space, via Clifford numbers or quaternions. We show how to augment alternate sides of such a hexagon so that for the non-augmented sides, we can define quaternion half side-lengths whose angular parts are obtained from half the Euler angle…

New bounds found for vertices of hyperbolic polyhedra in dimensions 5 to 12.

It is conjectured that every cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold has a decomposition into positive volume ideal hyperbolic tetrahedra (a "geometric" triangulation of the manifold). Under a mild homology assumption on the manifold we construct topological ideal triangulations which admit a strict angle structure, which is a ne…
