Review text

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0745.00061.] The construction of self-parallel polygons in space is closely related with the so-called total twist of these curves [see the author, Math. Pannonica 2, 95-106 (1991; Zbl 0723.51007)]. The aim of this note is to discuss the computation of this total twist and to use the corresponding formulas for the construction of examples of self-parallel polygons. One of these examples disproves a conjecture made in the paper quoted above. Furthermore these constructions are applied to develop examples of self- parallel polyhedral tori of different combinatorial types.
