چکیده
We introduce the fatness parameter of a 4-dimensional polytope P, defined as φ(P) = ( f1 + f2)/( f0 + f3). It arises in an important open problem in 4-dimensional combinatorial geometry: Is the fatness of convex 4polytopes bounded? We describe and analyze a hyperbolic geometry construction that produces 4-polytopes with fatness φ(P) > 5.048, as well as the first infinite family of 2-simple, 2-simplicial 4-polytopes. Moreover, using a construction via finite covering spaces of surfaces, we show that fatness is not bounded for the more general class of strongly regular CW decompositions of the 3-sphere.

In 1988, Kalai [5] extended a construction of Billera and Lee to produce many triangulated (d−1)-spheres. In fact, in view of upper bounds on the number of simplicial d-polytopes by Goodman and Pollack [2, 3], he derived that for every dimension d ≥ 5, most of these (d− 1)-spheres are not polytopal. However, for d = 4, this reasoning fails. We can now show that, as already conjectured by Kalai,...

We compute the boundary stress-energies of time-dependent asymptotically AdS space-times in 5 and 7 dimensions, and find that their traces are equal to the respective 4 and 6 dimensional field-theoretic trace anomalies. This provides good supporting evidence in favour of the AdS/CFT correspondence in time-dependent backgrounds.
