Abstract

Let P\mathcal{P} be the class of combinatorial 3-dimensional simple polytopes PP, different from a tetrahedron, without 3- and 4-belts of facets. By the results of Pogorelov and Andreev, a polytope PP admits a realisation in Lobachevsky space L3\mathbb{L}^3 with right dihedral angles if and only if PPP \in \mathcal{P}. We consider two families of smooth manifolds defined by regular 4-colourings of Pogorelov polytopes P: six-dimensional quasitoric manifolds over PP and three-dimensional small covers of PP; the latter are also known as three-dimensional hyperbolic manifolds of Loebell type. We prove that two manifolds from either of the families are diffeomorphic if and only if the corresponding 4-colourings are equivalent.
