Abstract

For a hyperplane HH supporting a convex body CC in the hyperbolic space Hd\mathbb{H}^d we define the width of CC determined by HH as the distance between HH and a most distant ultraparallel hyperplane supporting CC. The minimum width of CC over all supporting HH is called the thickness Δ(C)\Delta (C) of CC. A convex body RHdR \subset \mathbb{H}^d is said to be reduced if Δ(Z)<Δ(R)\Delta (Z) < \Delta (R) for every convex body ZZ properly contained in RR. We describe a class of reduced polygons in H2\mathbb{H}^2 and present some properties of them. In particular, we estimate their diameters in terms of their thicknesses.
