On hyperbolic virtual polytopes and hyperbolic fans

Gaiane Panina (2006)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

Hyperbolic virtual polytopes arose originally as polytopal versions of counterexamples to the following A.D.Alexandrov’s uniqueness conjecture: Let K ⊂ ℝ3 be a smooth convex body. If for a constant C, at every point of ∂K, we have R 1 ≤ C ≤ R 2 then K is a ball. (R 1 and R 2 stand for the principal curvature radii of ∂K.) This paper gives a new (in comparison with the previous construction by Y.Martinez-Maure and by G.Panina) series of counterexamples to the conjecture. In particular,...
