Conjecture that the stellated tetrahedron is not Rupert
Conjecture that the stellated tetrahedron is not Rupert
Let be the stellated tetrahedron with vertices
where edges join all and for , and . A polyhedron is Rupert if it can pass through itself under the projection-and-translation containment condition. Stellated-tetrahedron conjecture. The stellated tetrahedron is not Rupert. Numerical searches have not found a Rupert passage for the relevant family, and the stated sufficient condition for being locally Rupert does not apply; whether this particular stellated tetrahedron is non-Rupert remains open.
