The study of bodies of constant width is a classical subject in convex geometry, with the 3-dimensional Meissner bodies being canonical examples. This paper presents a novel geometric construction of a body of constant width in $\mathbb…

We consider Meissner polyhedra in $\mathbb{R}^3$. These are constant width bodies whose boundaries consist of pieces of spheres and spindle tori. We define these shapes by taking appropriate intersections of congruent balls and show that…

The volume of a Meissner polyhedron is computed in terms of the lengths of its dual edges. This allows to reformulate the Meissner conjecture regarding constant width bodies with minimal volume as a series of explicit finite dimensional…

We consider the family of constant width bodies in $\mathbb{R}^3$ which is convex under Minkowski addition. Extreme shapes cannot be expressed as a nontrivial convex combination of other constant width bodies. We show that each Meissner…

We construct compact polyhedra with $m$-gonal faces whose links are generalized 3-gons. It gives examples of cocompact hyperbolic bildings of type $P(m,3)$. For $m=3$ we get compact spaces covered by Euclidean buildings of type $A_2$.

The purpose of this paper is to describe a new $3$-dimensional family of bodies of constant width that we have called peabodies, obtained from the Reuleaux tetrahedron by replacing a small neighborhood of all six edges with sections of an…

For every $n\ge 2$, we construct a body $U_n$ of constant width $2$ in $\mathbb{E}^n$ with small volume and symmetries of a regular $n$-simplex. $U_2$ is the Reuleaux triangle. To the best of our knowledge, $U_3$ was not previously…

Atkinson [2] found a sequence of three-dimensional hyperbolic polyhedra whose dihedral angles are $\pi /3$. In this paper, we construct another sequence of such polyhedra. We also determine the volumes of some of these polyhedra.

This paper studies the straight skeleton of polyhedra in three dimensions. We first address voxel-based polyhedra (polycubes), formed as the union of a collection of cubical (axis-aligned) voxels. We analyze the ways in which the skeleton…

Given vertex valencies admissible for a self-dual polyhedral graph, we describe an algorithm to explicitly construct such a polyhedron. Inputting in the algorithm permutations of the degree sequence can give rise to non-isomorphic graphs.…

We construct triangular hyperbolic polyhedra whose links are generalized 4-gons. The universal cover of those polyhedra are hyperbolic buildings, which appartments are hyperbolic planes tesselated by regular triangles with angles $\pi/4$.…

Given a triangulated surface, a polyhedral metric could be constructed by gluing Euclidean triangles edge-to-edge. We carefully describe the construction and prove that such a polyhedral metric is the only intrinsic metric on the glued…

In the recent paper "On a formula for sets of constant width in 2D", Comm. Pure Appl. Anal. 18 (2019), 2117-2131, we gave a constructive formula for all 2d sets of constant width. Based on this result we derive here a formula for the…

A ball polyhedron is the intersection of a finite number of closed balls in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with the same radius. In this note, we study ball polyhedra in which the set of centers defining the balls have the maximum possible number of…

We give an elementary construction of polyhedra whose links are connected bipartite graphs, which are not necessarily isomorphic pairwise. We show, that the fundamental groups of some of our polyhedra contain surface groups. In particular,…

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…

A method is developed here for building differentiable three-dimensional manifolds on multicube structures. This method constructs a sequence of reference metrics that determine differentiable structures on the cubic regions that serve as…

The Poisson structures for 3D systems possessing one constant of motion can always be constructed from the solution of a linear PDE. When two constants of the motion are available the problem reduces to a quadrature and the structure…

We introduce a flow in the space of constant width bodies in three-dimensional Euclidean space that simultaneously increases the volume and decreases the circumradius of the shape as time increases. Starting from any initial constant width…

For a Riemannian polyhedra, we study the geometry of the unit ball for the unidimensional stable norm (stable ball). In the case of a unidimensional Riemannian polyhedra (graph), we show that the stable ball is a polytope whose vertices are…
