Abstract

For a compact right-angled polyhedron RR in H3\mathbb H^3 denote by vol(R)\operatorname{vol} (R) the volume and by vert(R)\operatorname{vert} (R) the number of vertices. Upper and lower bounds for vol(R)\operatorname{vol} (R) in terms of vert(R)\operatorname{vert} (R) were obtained in \cite{A09}. Constructing a 2-parameter family of polyhedra, we show that the asymptotic upper bound 5v3/85 v_3 / 8, where v3v_3 is the volume of the ideal regular tetrahedron in H3\mathbb H^3, is a double limit point for ratios vol(R)/vert(R)\operatorname{vol} (R) / \operatorname{vert} (R). Moreover, we improve the lower bound in the case vert(R)56\operatorname{vert} (R) \leqslant 56.
