Sculptures in S^3

History and Overview 2012-05-18 v2 Geometric Topology

Abstract

We construct a number of sculptures, each based on a geometric design native to the three-dimensional sphere. Using stereographic projection we transfer the design from the three-sphere to ordinary Euclidean space. All of the sculptures are then fabricated by the 3D printing service Shapeways.
