We state that any constant curvature Riemannian metric with conical singularities of constant sign curvature on a compact (orientable) surface $S$ can be realized as a convex polyhedron in a Riemannian or Lorentzian) space-form. Moreover…

In the paper, we construct compact embedded $\lambda$-hypersurfaces which are diffeomorphic to a sphere and are not isometric to a standard sphere. Hence, one can not expect to have Alexandrov type theorem for $\lambda$-hypersurfaces.

Given a polyhedral surface, assume that it is prohibited to change the shape and size of any face but it is permissible to change the dihedral angles between the faces. A polyhedral surface is said to be flexible if it is possible to change…

We describe a characterization of convex polyhedra in $\h^3$ in terms of their dihedral angles, developed by Rivin. We also describe some geometric and combinatorial consequences of that theory. One of these consequences is a combinatorial…
