Let \(\mathbb{H}^n\) be the hyperbolic \(n\)-space, identified with the Klein-Beltrami model in real projective space \(\mathbb{R} P^n\), and let \(\partial \mathbb{H}^n\) be its boundary. A hyperbolic orthoscheme is a simplex in \(\overline{\mathbb{H}^n}= \mathbb{H}^n \cup \partial \mathbb{H}^n\) bounded by hyperplanes \(H_0 ,\dots ,H_n\) such that \(H_i\) and \(H_j\) are orthogonal if \(|i-j|>1\). An orthoprism is a simply truncated orthoscheme. The author uses techniques of scissors congruence to obtain dissection relations for polytopes in \(\overline{\mathbb{H}^5}\) whose dihedral angles are commensurable with \(\pi\) and related to the golden ratio. As a consequence, she computes volumes of several orthoschemes and orthoprisms as explicit linear combinations of Apéry's constant \(\zeta(3)\), of the trilobachevsky value Л\(_3(\frac{\pi}{5})\) and of the volume of a regular hyperbolic \(5\)-simplex with vertices in \(\partial \mathbb{H}^5\). | |||

Let \(\mathbb{H}^n\) be the hyperbolic \(n\)-space, identified with the Klein-Beltrami model in real projective space \(\mathbb{R} P^n\), and let \(\partial \mathbb{H}^n\) be its boundary. A hyperbolic orthoscheme is a simplex in \(\overline{\mathbb{H}^n}= \mathbb{H}^n \cup \partial \mathbb{H}^n\) bounded by hyperplanes \(H_0 ,\dots ,H_n\) such that \(H_i\) and \(H_j\) are orthogonal if \(|i-j|>1\). An orthoprism is a simply truncated orthoscheme. The author uses techniques of scissors congruence to obtain dissection relations for polytopes in \(\overline{\mathbb{H}^5}\) whose dihedral angles are commensurable with \(\pi\) and related to the golden ratio. As a consequence, she computes volumes of several orthoschemes and orthoprisms as explicit linear combinations of Apéry's constant \(\zeta(3)\), of the trilobachevsky value Л\(_3(\frac{\pi}{5})\) and of the volume of a regular hyperbolic \(5\)-simplex with vertices in \(\partial \mathbb{H}^5\).
