This paper is an introduction to Coxeter polyhedra in spherical, Euclidean, and hyperbolic geometries. It consists of essentially two parts that could be read independently. In the first we introduce non-obtuse polyhedra in the spherical,…

In this paper, the notion of hyperbolic ellipsoids in hyperbolic space is introduced. Using a natural orthogonal projection from hyperbolic space to Euclidean space, we establish affine isoperimetric type inequalities for static convex…

In this paper we provide a characterization for a class of convex curves on the 3-sphere. More precisely, using a theorem that decomposes a locally convex curve on the 3-sphere as a pair of curves on the 2-sphere, one of which is locally…

Hyperbolic polynomials are real polynomials whose real hypersurfaces are nested ovaloids, the inner most of which is convex. These polynomials appear in many areas of mathematics, including optimization, combinatorics and differential…

A fundamental way to study 3-manifolds is through the geometric lens, one of the most prominent geometries being the hyperbolic one. We focus on the computation of a complete hyperbolic structure on a connected orientable hyperbolic…

We describe a hyperbolic version of the Ambartzumian-Pleijel identity. We use this identity to prove the hyperbolic Crofton formula and the hyperbolic isoperimetric inequality. This identity also provides a way to compute the chord length…

In this note, we show that there exist cusped hyperbolic $3$-manifolds that embed geodesically, but cannot bound geometrically. Thus, being a geometric boundary is a non-trivial property for such manifolds. Our result complements the work…

In his paper "Shapes of Polyhedra and Triangulations of the Sphere", Thurston found that the set of shapes of convex polyhedra with prescribed cone-deficits has a complex hyperbolic structure. Inspired by his work, this paper studies the…

The classical Cauchy rigidity theorem for convex polytopes reads that if two convex polytopes have isometric developments then they are congruent. In other words, we can decide whether two polyhedra are isometric or not by using their…

Makeev conjectured that every constant-width body is inscribed in the dual difference body of a regular simplex. We prove that homologically, there are an odd number of such circumscribing bodies in dimension 3, and therefore geometrically…

In this paper, we give a method to construct holonomy matrices of hyperbolic 3-manifolds by extending the known method of hyperbolic 2-manifolds. It enables us to consider hyperbolic 3-manifolds with nontrivial holonomies. We apply our…

Bosse et al. conjectured that for every natural number $d \ge 2$ and every $d$-dimensional polytope $P$ in $\real^d$ there exist $d$ polynomials $p_0(x),...,p_{d-1}(x)$ satisfying $P=\{x \in \mathbb{R}^d : p_0(x) \ge 0, >..., p_{d-1}(x) \ge…

There are many four vertex type theorems appearing in the literature, coming in both smooth and discrete flavors. The most familiar of these is the classical theorem in differential geometry, which states that the curvature function of a…
