The dual Jacobian of a generalised hyperbolic tetrahedron, and volumes of prisms (Q330459)

A generalized hyperbolic tetrahedron is called \textit{mildly truncated} (resp. \textit{prism truncated}) if no two (resp. exactly two) of the four truncating planes associated with its ultra-ideal vertices intersect. The \textit{dual Jacobian} of a generalized hyperbolic tetrahedron is the Jacobian matrix of the dihedral angles considered as functions of the edge lengths. The authors derive an analytic formula for the dual Jacobian matrix of a mildly truncated generalized hyperbolic tetrahedron, and of a prism truncated generalized hyperbolic tetrahedron. The dual Jacobian of a prism truncated generalized hyperbolic tetrahedron is seen to be an analytic continuation of that of a mildly truncated generalized hyperbolic tetrahedron. The authors also obtain a volume formula for a hyperbolic \(n\)-gonal prism.
