Abstract: By using Klein's model for hyperbolic geometry, hyperbolic structures on orbifolds or manifolds provide examples of real projective structures. By Andreev's theorem, many 3-dimensional reflection orbifolds admit a finite volume hyperbolic structure, and such a hyperbolic structure is unique. However, the induced real projective structure on some such 3-orbifolds deforms into a family of real projective structures that are not induced from hyperbolic structures. In this paper, we find new classes of compact and complete hyperbolic reflection 3-orbifolds with such deformations. We also explain numerical and exact results on projective deformations of some compact hyperbolic cubes and dodecahedra.

Review text

Hyperbolic structures on orbifolds or manifolds provide examples of real projective structures. By Mostow-Prasad rigidity, the hyperbolic structure of a finite volume hyperbolic orbifold, of dimension greater than two, is unique. However, there are cases where the associated real projective structure has a non-trivial deformation space. The authors find new classes of hyperbolic 3-orbifolds where the induced real projective structure deforms into a family of real projective structures that are not induced from hyperbolic structures. Let \(\hat{P}\) be an orbifold whose underlying space is an ideal 3-dimensional hyperbolic polyhedron with dihedral angles are all equal to \(\pi/3\), whose singular locus is its boundary and which is not a tetrahedron. The main result is that the hyperbolic point in the deformation space of real projective structures of \(\hat{P}\) is a smooth 6-dimensional manifold. The authors also describe computational results on the projective deformation space of certain compact hyperbolic cubes and dodecahedra.
