The Neoplatonic conjecture for Euclidean realizations
The Neoplatonic conjecture for Euclidean realizations
A 6-net is a simplicial triangulation of the -sphere with maximum degree at most . A net is prime if every -cycle bounds a face. For a -net , write for its Euclidean realization, when it exists.
Neoplatonic conjecture. Any -net has a realization, unique up to isometry, as an undented Euclidean polyhedron built from equilateral triangles of side length .
The conjecture is motivated by computational experiments and by the proved existence results for all -nets with at most vertices; uniqueness of the Euclidean realization is not established in the source.
