Anschauliche Geometrie - A tribute
to Hilbert, Cohn-Vossen, Klein and all other geometers. Electronic Geometry Models
This archive is open for any
geometer to publish new geometric models, or to browse this site for material to be used in
education and research. These geometry models cover a broad range of mathematical topics from
geometry, topology, and to some extent from numerics.
Click "Models" to see the
full list of published models. See here for details on the submission and
review process.

Model 2013.10.001
Bruno Benedetti and Frank H. Lutz
The dunce hat in a minimal non-extendably collapsible 3-ball.
Section: Polytopal Complexes
We obtain a geometric realization of a minimal 8-vertex triangulation of the dunce hat in Euclidean 3-space.
We show there is a simplicial 3-ball with 8 vertices that is collapsible, but also collapses onto the dunce hat, which is not collapsible.

Model 2010.11.001
Udo Hertrich-Jeromin and Wayne Rossman
Discrete minimal catenoid in hyperbolic 3-space.
Section: Surfaces
We show a discrete constant mean curvature (in fact, minimal) net of revolution in hyperbolic 3-space (in its Poincare half-space incarnation).

Model 2010.02.002
Marina Knyazeva and Gaiane Panina
Counterexample to a conjecture of Alexandrov.
Section: Surfaces
A pointed graph on the sphere which leads to a counterexample to A.D. Alexandrov's conjecture.
This graph is interesting and important not only because of its funny combinatorics, but also
because it leads to a counterexample to A.D. Alexandrov's uniqueness conjecture for
smooth convex surfaces.

Model 2010.02.001
Dirk Frettloeh and Iwan Suschko
3-Torus Rep-Tile.
Section: Polytopal Complexes
Smallest known rep-tile which is a 3-torus.
This non-convex polytope P is made from 12 rectangular boxes of side length 1, a, b.
Two copies of P can be assembled into a rectangular box of edge length 3, 2a, 4b.
