On the optimality of the ideal right-angled 24-cell (Q691534): Difference between revisions

Within the class of ideal right-angled polytopes in hyperbolic 4-space, the author finds polytopes of minimal volume and of minimal facet number. He shows that in both cases the regular ideal hyperbolic 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol \(\{3,4,3\}\) and all dihedral angles right yields a solution. In addition he obtains a new dimension bound for ideal right-angled hyperbolic polytopes. The question referring to facet number minimality is both of combinatorial and geometric nature, that of minimal volume is closely related to the volume spectrum of four-dimensional hyperbolic manifolds.
