چکیده
On a regular tetrahedron in spherical space there exist the finite number of simple closed geodesics. For any pair coprime integers $(p,q)$ it was found numbers $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$ depending on $p$, $q$ satisfying inequalities $\pi/3< \alpha_1 < \alpha_2 2\pi/3$ such that with faces angle $\alpha \in \left( \pi/3, \right)$ exists unique, up to rigid motion tetrahedron, geodesic type $(p,q)$, \alpha_2, 2\pi/3 is no $(p,q)$.

Multiplicities of Simple Closed Geodesics and Hypersurfaces in Teichmüller Space
Using geodesic length functions, we define a natural family of real codimension 1 subvarieties of Teichmüller space, namely the subsets where the lengths of two distinct simple closed geodesics are of equal length. We investigate the point set topology of the union of all such hypersurfaces using elementary methods. Finally, this analysis is applied to investigate the nature of the Markoff conj...
متن کاملSimple Closed Geodesics in Hyperbolic 3-Manifolds
This paper determines which orientable hyperbolic 3-manifolds contain simple closed geodesics. The Fuchsian group corresponding to the thrice-punctured sphere generates the only example of a complete nonelementary orientable hyperbolic 3-manifold that does not contain a simple closed geodesic. We do not assume that the manifold is geometrically finite or that it has finitely generated fundament...
متن کاملConvex Polyhedra without Simple Closed Geodesics
In 1905, in his famous article “Sur les lignes géodésiques des surfaces convexes” [1] H. Poincaré posed a question on the existence of at least three geometrically different closed geodesics without self-intersections on any smooth convex two-dimensional surface (2-surface) M homeomorphic to the two-dimensional sphere (2-sphere) S2. Each such geodesic splits the surface M into two domains homeo...
متن کاملShortening all the simple closed geodesics on surfaces with boundary
We give a proof of an unpublished result of Thurston showing that given any hyperbolic metric on a surface of finite type with nonempty boundary, there exists another hyperbolic metric on the same surface for which the lengths of all simple closed geodesics have are shorter. Furthermore, we show that we can do the shortening in such a way that it is bounded below by a positive constant. This im...
متن کاملMysteries in Packing Regular Tetrahedra
T he regular tetrahedron is the simplest Platonic solid. Nevertheless, in studying its packing properties, several renowned scholars have made mistakes, and many questions about it remain unsolved. Currently no one knows the density of its densest packings, the density of its densest translative packings, or the exact value of its congruent kissing number. In this paper we recount historical de...
