Antipodality in hyperbolic space
If \(X\subset\mathbb{R}^n\) is a set of points such that any two points \(x_1\), \(x_2\) from it satisfy \(x_1\in H_1\), \(x_2\in H_2\) for different parallel supporting hyperplanes \(H_1\), \(H_2\) of \(X\), then (due to V. L. Klee) \(X\) is said to be an antipodal set. On the other hand, P. Erdős called a set \(X\subset\mathbb{R}^n\) an antipodal set if any three points from it form the vertex set of a non-obtuse triangle. The authors investigate analogues of these definitions for the hyperbolic plane \(H^2\) and space \(H^3\), suitably modifying the notions of parallelity and antipodality. They show that regarding the first definition the maximum cardinality of an antipodal set in \(H^2\) is \(7\), and has no upper bound in \(H^3\). In case of the second definition, there are arbitrarily large antipodal sets already in \(H^2\). Further on, they define a third type of hyperbolic antipodality which is strongly related to Euclidean antipodality.
