Hyperideal polyhedra in hyperbolic 3-space

Xiliang Bao, Francis Bonahon (2002)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

A hyperideal polyhedron is a non-compact polyhedron in the hyperbolic 3 -space 3 which, in the projective model for 3 ℝℙ 3 , is just the intersection of 3 with a projective polyhedron whose vertices are all outside 3 and whose edges all meet 3 . We classify hyperideal polyhedra, up to isometries of 3 , in terms of their combinatorial type and of their dihedral angles.

Idempotent semigroups and tropical algebraic sets

Zur Izhakian, Eugenii Shustin (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

The tropical semifield, i.e., the real numbers enhanced by the operations of addition and maximum, serves as a base of tropical mathematics. Addition is an abelian group operation, whereas the maximum defines an idempotent semigroup structure. We address the question of the geometry of idempotent semigroups, in particular, tropical algebraic sets carrying the structure of a commutative idempotent semigroup. We show that commutative idempotent semigroups are contractible, that systems of tropical...
