The number of cusps of right-angled polyhedra in hyperbolic spaces (Q267458)

A right-angled polyhedron \(P^n\) of finite volume in hyperbolic space \(\mathbb{H}^n\) is the fundamental region for a discrete group of isometries, generated by the reflexions in its facet hyperplanes. It has been shown that there are no such polyhedra \(P^n\) if \(n \geq 13\). A cusp of \(P^n\) is a point at infinity or ideal point. If \(n \geq 5\), then it is already known that \(P^n\) must have at least one cusp; there are examples with no cusps for \(n \leq 4\). In this paper, the author finds lower bounds \(c(n)\) for the number of cusps of \(P^n\): NEWLINE\[NEWLINE c(n) \geq 3,\;17,\;36,\;91,\;254,\;741,\;2200, NEWLINE\]NEWLINE for \(n = 6,\ldots,12\), respectively.
