Abstract: Toric topology assigns to each n-dimensional combinatorial simple convex polytope P with m facets an (m+n)-dimensional moment-angle manifold mathcalZP with an action of a compact torus Tm such that mathcalZP/Tm is a convex polytope of combinatorial type P. We study the notion of B-rigidity. A property of a polytope P is called B-rigid, if any isomorphism of graded rings H(mathcalZP,mathbbZ)=H(mathcalZQ,mathbbZ) for a simple n-polytope Q implies that it also has this property. We study families of 3-dimensional polytopes defined by their cyclic k-edge-connectivity. These families include flag polytopes and Pogorelov polytopes, that is polytopes realizable as bounded right-angled polytopes in Lobachevsky space mathbbL3. Pogorelov polytopes include fullerenes -- simple polytopes with only pentagonal and hexagonal faces. It is known that the properties to be flag and Pogorelov polytope are B-rigid. We focus on almost Pogorelov polytopes, which are strongly cyclically 4-edge-connected polytopes. They correspond to right-angled polytopes of finite volume in mathbbL3. There is a subfamily of ideal almost Pogorelov polytopes corresponding to ideal right-angled polytopes. We prove that the properties to be an almost Pogorelov polytope and an ideal almost Pogorelov polytope are B-rigid. As a corollary we obtain that 3-dimensional associahedron As3 and permutohedron Pe3 are B-rigid. We generalize methods known for Pogorelov polytopes. We obtain results on B-rigidity of subsets in H(mathcalZP,mathbbZ) and prove an analog of the so-called separable circuit condition (SCC). As an example we consider the ring H(mathcalZAs3,mathbbZ).
