Steininger–Yurkevich conjecture on the rhombicosidodecahedron

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let P\mathcal{P} be a polyhedron. It is Rupert if there exist R1,R2∈SO⁡(3)R_1,R_2\in\operatorname{SO}(3) and t∈R2t\in\mathbb{R}^2 such that

P∘R1(P)+t⊂P∘R2(P∘),P\circ R_1(\mathcal{P})+t\subset P\circ R_2(\mathcal{P}^{\circ}),

where P:R3→R2P:\mathbb{R}^3\to\mathbb{R}^2 drops the xx-coordinate and P∘\mathcal{P}^{\circ} is the interior of P\mathcal{P}. Steininger–Yurkevich conjecture. The rhombicosidodecahedron is not Rupert. This remains open to the best of the authors' knowledge, following the Noperthedron counterexample to the conjecture that all convex polyhedra are Rupert.
