Andreev’s Theorem on hyperbolic polyhedra

Roland K.W. Roeder, John H. Hubbard, William D. Dunbar (2007)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

In 1970, E.M.Andreev published a classification of all three-dimensional compact hyperbolic polyhedra (other than tetrahedra) having non-obtuse dihedral angles. Given a combinatorial description of a polyhedron,  C , Andreev’s Theorem provides five classes of linear inequalities, depending on  C , for the dihedral angles, which are necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a hyperbolic polyhedron realizing C with the assigned dihedral angles. Andreev’s Theorem also shows that the resulting...

Contraction of excess fibres between the McKay correspondences in dimensions two and three

Samuel Boissière, Alessandra Sarti (2007)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

The quotient singularities of dimensions two and three obtained from polyhedral groups and the corresponding binary polyhedral groups admit natural resolutions of singularities as Hilbert schemes of regular orbits whose exceptional fibres over the origin reveal similar properties. We construct a morphism between these two resolutions, contracting exactly the excess part of the exceptional fibre. This construction is motivated by the study of some pencils of K3 surfaces appearing as minimal resolutions...
