We prove that for every metric on the torus with curvature bounded from below by -1 in the sense of Alexandrov there exists a hyperbolic cusp with convex boundary such that the induced metric on the boundary is the given metric. The proof…

We construct a sequence of convex polyhedra on n vertices with the property that, as n -> infinity, the fraction of its edge unfoldings that avoid overlap approaches 0, and so the fraction that overlap approaches 1. Nevertheless, each does…

It is shown that convex hypersurfaces in Hilbert spaces have nonnegative Alexandrov curvature. This extends an earlier result of Buyalo for convex hypersurfaces in Riemannian manifolds of finite dimension.

If all tiles in a tiling are congruent, the tiling is called monohedral. Tiling by convex polygons is called edge-to-edge if any two convex polygons are either disjoint or share one vertex or one entire edge in common. In this paper, we…

This paper describes a way to subdivide a 3-manifold into angled blocks, namely polyhedral pieces that need not be simply connected. When the individual blocks carry dihedral angles that fit together in a consistent fashion, we prove that a…

We define a relative version of the Turaev-Viro invariants for an ideally triangulated compact 3-manifold with non-empty boundary and a coloring on the edges, generalizing the Turaev-Viro invariants [35] of the manifold. We also propose the…

In this paper we finish the intensive study of three-dimensional Dirichlet stereohedra started by the second author and D. Bochis, who showed that they cannot have more than 80 facets, except perhaps for crystallographic space groups in the…

Tutte's embedding theorem states that every 3-connected graph without a $K_5$ or $K_{3,3}$ minor (i.e. a planar graph) is embedded in the plane if the outer face is in convex position and the interior vertices are convex combinations of…

We show how to edge-unfold a new class of convex polyhedra, specifically a new class of prismatoids (the convex hull of two parallel convex polygons, called the top and base), by constructing a nonoverlapping "petal unfolding" in two new…

We consider the problem of determining the length of the shortest paths between points on the surfaces of tetrahedra and cubes. Our approach parallels the concept of Alexandrov's star unfolding but focuses on specific polyhedra and uses…

A convex geometry is a closure system satisfying the anti-exchange property. This paper, following the work of K. Adaricheva and M. Bolat (2016) and the Polymath REU 2020 team, continues to investigate representations of convex geometries…

A polyiamond is a polygon composed of unit equilateral triangles, and a generalized deltahedron is a convex polyhedron whose every face is a convex polyiamond. We study a variant where one face may be an exception. For a convex polygon P,…

Given a convex polyhedral surface P, we define a tailoring as excising from P a simple polygonal domain that contains one vertex v, and whose boundary can be sutured closed to a new convex polyhedron via Alexandrov's Gluing Theorem. In…

A closed quasigeodesic is a closed curve on the surface of a polyhedron with at most $180^\circ$ of surface on both sides at all points; such curves can be locally unfolded straight. In 1949, Pogorelov proved that every convex polyhedron…

We consider polyhedra and 4-polytopes in Minkowski spacetime - in particular, null polyhedra with zero volume, and 4-polytopes that have such polyhedra as their hyperfaces. We present the basic properties of several classes of null-faced…

Motivated by the graph associahedron KG, a polytope whose face poset is based on connected subgraphs of G, we consider the notion of associativity and tubes on posets. This leads to a new family of simple convex polytopes obtained by…

We prove that the non-squeezing theorem of Gromov holds for symplectomorphisms on an infinite-dimensional symplectic Hilbert space, under the assumption that the image of the ball is convex. The proof is based on the construction by duality…
