Steininger and Yurkevich's negative Rupert conjecture for three Archimedean solids
Steininger and Yurkevich's negative Rupert conjecture for three Archimedean solids
A compact convex set is Rupert if a second identical copy can pass straight through a hole in the interior of the first with rescaling factor . Steininger and Yurkevich's conjecture. The rhombicosidodecahedron, snub dodecahedron, and snub cube are not Rupert. The paper motivates this negative conjecture by high-precision computational searches that did not find Rupert passages for these three Archimedean solids; failure to find such passages does not establish non-Rupertness.
