Let P and Q be convex polyhedra in E3 with face lattices F(P) and F(Q) and symmetry groups G(P) and G(Q), respectively. Then, P and Q are called face equivalent if there is a lattice isomorphism between F(P) and F(Q); P and Q are called symmetry equivalent if the action of G(P) on F(P) is equivalent to the action of G(Q) on F(Q). It is well known that the set [P] of all polyhedra which are face equivalent to P has the structure of a manifold of dimension {e-1}, up to similarities, where e=e(P) is the number of edges of P. This is a consequence of the Steinitzs classical Theorem. We give a new proof of this fact. The symmetry type of P denoted by <P> is the set of all polyhedron Q symmetry equivalent to P. We show that for polyhedra with symmetry group G(P) a reflection group the dimension of this manifold is {O-1} where O is the number of edge orbits of P under and the action of G(P) on F(P).

A spectral convex set is a collection of symmetric matrices whose range of eigenvalues form a symmetric convex set. Spectral convex sets generalize the Schur-Horn orbitopes studied by Sanyal-Sottile-Sturmfels (2011). We study this class of convex bod ies, which is closed under intersections, polarity, and Minkowski sums. We describe orbits of faces and give a formula for their Steiner polynomials. We then focus on spectral polyhedra. We prove that spectral polyhedra are spectrahedra and give small representations as spectrahedral shadows. We close with observations and questions regarding hyperbolicity cones, polar convex bodies, and spectral zonotopes.

A hyperbolic 3-simplex reflection group is a Coxeter group arising as a lattice in the isometry group of hyperbolic 3-space, with fundamental domain a geodesic simplex (possibly with some ideal vertices). The classification of these groups is known, and there are exactly 9 cocompact examples, and 23 non-cocompact examples. We provide a complete computation of the lower algebraic K-theory of the integral group ring of all the hyperbolic 3-simplex reflection groups.
Given a convex polyhedral surface P, we define a tailoring as excising from P a simple polygonal domain that contains one vertex v, and whose boundary can be sutured closed to a new convex polyhedron via Alexandrovs Gluing Theorem. In particular, a d igon-tailoring cuts off from P a digon containing v, a subset of P bounded by two equal-length geodesic segments that share endpoints, and can then zip closed. In the first part of this monograph, we primarily study properties of the tailoring operation on convex polyhedra. We show that P can be reshaped to any polyhedral convex surface Q a subset of conv(P) by a sequence of tailorings. This investigation uncovered previously unexplored topics, including a notion of unfolding of Q onto P--cutting up Q into pieces pasted non-overlapping onto P. In the second part of this monograph, we study vertex-merging processes on convex polyhedra (each vertex-merge being in a sense the reverse of a digon-tailoring), creating embeddings of P into enlarged surfaces. We aim to produce non-overlapping polyhedral and planar unfoldings, which led us to develop an apparently new theory of convex sets, and of minimal length enclosing polygons, on convex polyhedra. All our theorem proofs are constructive, implying polynomial-time algorithms.

We describe a simple locally CAT(0) classifying space for extra extra large type Artin groups (with all labels at least 5). Furthermore, when the Artin group is not dihedral, we describe a rank 1 periodic geodesic, thus proving that extra large type Artin groups are acylindrically hyperbolic. Together with Property RD proved by Ciabonu, Holt and Rees, the CAT(0) property implies the Baum-Connes conjecture for all XXL type Artin groups.
Robertson (1988) suggested a model for the realization space of a convex d-dimensional polytope and an approach via the implicit function theorem, which -- in the case of a full rank Jacobian -- proves that the realization space is a manifold of dime nsion NG(P):=d(f_0+f_{d-1})-f_{0,d-1}, which is the natural guess for the dimension given by the number of variables minus the number of quadratic equations that are used in the definition of the realization space. While this indeed holds for many natural classes of polytopes (including simple and simplicial polytopes, as well as all polytopes of dimension at most 3),and Robertson claimed this to be true for all polytopes, Mnevs (1986/1988) Universality Theorem implies that it is not true in general: Indeed, (1) the centered realization space is not a smoothly embedded manifold in general, and (2) it does not have the dimension NG(P) in general. In this paper we develop Jacobian criteria for the analysis of realization spaces. From these we get easily that for various large and natural classes of polytopes the realization spaces are indeed manifolds, whose dimensions are given by NG(P). However, we also identify the smallest polytopes where the dimension count (2) and thus Robertsons claim fails, among them the bipyramid over a triangular prism. For the property (1), we analyze the classical 24-cell: We show that the realization space has at least the dimension 48, and it has points where it is a manifold of this dimension, but it is not smoothly embedded as a manifold everywhere.
