Rivin-type realization conjecture for non-contractible angled blocks
Rivin-type realization conjecture for non-contractible angled blocks
Let be a compact, oriented, irreducible, atoroidal -manifold with boundary equipped with an angled block structure, and let denote its universal cover. The angled block structure assigns internal angles and external angles to dual edges, satisfying , with external-angle sum around each face and sum greater than around every other simple closed curve in the dual graph that bounds a disk in . Rivin-type realization conjecture. The universal cover can be realized as a possibly infinite ideal polyhedron in , with dihedral angles specified by , uniquely up to isometry. Rivin's theorem establishes the analogous realization and uniqueness statement for contractible angled blocks, namely angled polyhedra; the conjecture proposes that the result extends to non-contractible angled blocks.
