On a method for calculating the volumes of polyhedra in hyperbolic space.

V. A. Krasnov

Peoples' Friendship University of Russia, Moscow

Abstract: The lecture is devoted to the method of calculating the volumes of polyhedra in hyperbolic space (given by the Poincare model in the upper half-space), proposed in 2013 by I.H. Sabitov. In the first part of the talk, we will derive a formula for the volume of an arbitrary hyperbolic tetrahedron (in standard position) through the coordinates of its vertices. In the final part, the volumes of the so-called cyclic and permutation polyhedra in the hyperbolic case will be studied. The report will be accompanied by formulations of unsolved problems in the volume theory of non-Euclidean polyhedra. No special knowledge is required to understand the talk.
