Abstract
We consider a spherical antiprism. It is a convex polyhedron with vertices in the spherical space . This polyhedron has a group of symmetries generated by a mirror-rotational symmetry of order , i.e. rotation to the angle followed by a reflection. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of such polyhedron in . Then we find relations between its dihedral angles and edge lengths in the form of cosine rules through a property of a spherical isosceles trapezoid. Finally, we obtain an explicit integral formula for the volume of a spherical antiprism in terms of the edge lengths.
