Rational Angle Conjecture for maximal volume ideal polyhedra
Rational Angle Conjecture for maximal volume ideal polyhedra
Let be a realizable triangulation of the sphere, and consider the volume-maximizing ideal polyhedron with combinatorial type . Rational Angle Conjecture. All of its dihedral angles have the form
for integers and . The optimization problem has no built-in preference for rational angles, and the phenomenon has been verified for the globally maximal configurations with , but remains unproved for every realizable triangulation.
