Organizing Volumes of Right-angled Hyperbolic Polyhedra
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-angled objects, until it is a disjoint union of Löbell polyhedra, a class of poly...
متن کاملVolumes of hyperbolic manifolds and mixed Tate motives
1. Volumes of (2n − 1)-dimensional hyperbolic manifolds and the Borel regulator on K2n−1(Q). Let M be an n-dimensional hyperbolic manifold with finite volume vol(M). If n = 2m is an even number, then by the Gauss-Bonnet theorem ([Ch]) vol(M) = −c2m · χ(M) where c2m = 1/2×(volume of sphere S of radius 1) and χ(M) is the Euler characteristic of M. This is straightforward for compact manifolds and...
متن کاملNotes on Shapes of Polyhedra
Bill Thurston wrote a beautiful paper called Shapes of Polyhedra. I once lectured on this paper during a graduate class I taught at the University of Chicago, and recently (Fall 2013) I tried again during my graduate class at ICERM/Brown. I found the paper hard-going both times. In the intervening years, Thurston published an updated and improved version, but I found the new version hard going ...
متن کاملHyperideal polyhedra in hyperbolic manifolds
Let (M, ∂M) be a 3-manifold with incompressible boundary that admits a convex co-compact hyperbolic metric (but is not a solid torus). We consider the hyperbolic metrics on M such that ∂M looks locally like a hyperideal polyhedron, and we characterize the possible dihedral angles. We find as special cases the results of Bao and Bonahon [BB02] on hyperideal polyhedra, and those of Rousset [Rou02...
متن کاملHyperbolic "Smoothing" of Shapes
We have been developing a theory of generic 2-D shape based on a reaction-diffusion model from mathematical physics. The description of a shape is derived from the singularities of a curve evolution process driven b y the reaction (hgperbolic) term. The diffusion (parabolic) term is related to smoothing and shape simplification. However, the unification of the two is problematic, because the sl...
