Let $Q_n=[0,1]^n$ be the unit cube in ${\mathbb R}^n$, $n \in {\mathbb N}$. For a nondegenerate simplex $S\subset{\mathbb R}^n$, consider the value $\xi(S)=\min \{\sigma>0: Q_n\subset \sigma S\}$. Here $\sigma S$ is a homothetic image of…
We show that in every commensurability class of cusped arithmetic hyperbolic manifolds of simplest type of dimension $2n+2\geq 6$ there are manifolds $M$ such that the Stiefel-Whitney classes $w_{2j}(M)$ are non-vanishing for all $0 \leq 2j…
By gluing together copies of an all-right angled Coxeter polytope a number of open hyperbolic 6-manifolds with Euler characteristic -1 are constructed. They are the first known examples of hyperbolic 6-manifolds having the smallest possible…
The purpose of the present paper is to prove existence of super-exponentially many compact orientable hyperbolic arithmetic $n$-manifolds that are geometric boundaries of compact orientable hyperbolic $(n+1)$-manifolds, for any $n \geq 2$,…
We study the problem of acute triangulations of convex polyhedra and the space R^n. Here an acute triangulation is a triangulation into simplices whose dihedral angles are acute. We prove that acute triangulations of the n-cube do not exist…
Let $(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system with $I\subseteq S$ such that the parabolic subgroup $W_I$ is finite. Associated to this data there is a \textit{Hecke algebra} $\scH$ and a \textit{parabolic Hecke algebra}…
We classify all quotients $W/W_J$ up to isomorphism in Bruhat order, with $(W,S)$ a Coxeter system and $W_J$ a parabolic subgroup of $W$. In particular, the non-trivial isomorphisms fall into a small number of cases which are highly…
We consider the problem of realizing hyperbolicity cones as spectrahedra, i.e. as linear slices of cones of positive semidefinite matrices. The generalized Lax conjecture states that this is always possible. We use generalized Clifford…
Let $C(L)$ be the right-angled Coxeter group defined by an abstract triangulation $L$ of $\mathbb{S}^2$. We show that $C(L)$ is isomorphic to a hyperbolic right-angled reflection group if and only if $L$ can be realized as an acute…
We investigate representations of Coxeter groups into $\mathrm{GL}(n,\mathbb{R})$ as geometric reflection groups which are convex cocompact in the projective space $\mathbb{P}(\mathbb{R}^n)$. We characterize which Coxeter groups admit such…
In this paper, we show that any Coxeter graph which defines a higher rank Coxeter group must have disjoint induced subgraphs each of which defines a hyperbolic or higher rank Coxeter group. We then use this result to demonstrate several…
We determine the adjoint trace field of gluings of general hyperbolic manifolds. This provides a new method to prove the nonarithmeticity of gluings, which can be applied to the classical construction of Gromov and Piatetski-Shapiro (and…
Triangulations and higher triangulations axiomatize the calculus of derived cokernels when applied to strings of composable morphisms. While there are no cubical versions of (higher) triangulations, in this paper we use coherent diagrams to…
We give the quasi--Euclidean classification of the maximal (with respect to the $f$--vector) alcoved polyhedra. The $f$--vector of these maximal convex bodies is $(20,30,12)$, so they are simple dodecahedra. We find eight quasi--Euclidean…
We prove noncoherence of certain families of lattices in the isometry group of the hyperbolic n-space for n greater than 3. For instance, every nonuniform arithmetic lattice in SO(n,1) is noncoherent, provided that n is at least 6.
We define novel fully combinatorial models of higher categories. Our definitions are based on a connection of higher categories to "directed spaces". Directed spaces are locally modelled on manifold diagrams, which are stratifications of…
We construct infinite series of non-simple ideal hyperbolic Coxeter 4-polytopes whose growth rates are Perron numbers. This infinite series is the first example of such a non-compact infinite polytopal series.
Let $Q_n$ denote the $n$-dimensional hypercube with the vertex set $V_n=\{0,1}^n$. A 0/1-polytope of $Q_n$ is a convex hull of a subset of $V_n$. This paper is concerned with the enumeration of equivalence classes of full-dimensional…
The Wythoff construction takes a $d$-dimensional polytope $P$, a subset $S$ of $\{0,..., d\}$ and returns another $d$-dimensional polytope $P(S)$. If $P$ is a regular polytope, then $P(S)$ is vertex-transitive. This construction builds a…
We produce a family of new, non arithmetic lattices in PU(2,1). All previously known examples were commensurable with lattices constructed by Picard, Mostow and Deligne-Mostow, and fell into 9 commensurability classes. Our groups produce 5…
