Abstract

We study hyperideal polyhedra in the 3-dimensional anti-de Sitter space AdS3AdS^3, which are defined as the intersection of the projective model of AdS3AdS^3 with a convex polyhedron in RP3RP^3 whose vertices are all outside of AdS3AdS^3 and whose edges all meet AdS3AdS^3. We show that hyperideal polyhedra in AdS3AdS^3 are uniquely determined by their combinatorics and dihedral angles, as well as by the induced metric on their boundary together with an additional combinatorial data, and describe the possible dihedral angles and the possible induced metrics on the boundary.
