On the Characterization of Polyhedra in Hyperbolic 3-Space

Metric Geometry 2010-06-24 v1 Geometric Topology

Abstract

We review several results related to the characterization of polyhedra in hyperbolic 3-space. In particular we present Rivin's theorem that gives a characterization of compact convex hyperbolic polyhedra, and Hodgson's proof of the Adreev's theorem. We also review the analogous characterization of ideal polyhedra, and give a family of counter-examples that proves that hyperbolic polyhedra are not determined by edge lengths.
