Regular Dodecahedron

The regular dodecahedron is the only simple polytope among the platonic solids which is not rational. Therefore, it corresponds neither to a symplectic toric manifold nor to a symplectic toric orbifold. In this paper, we associate to the regular dodecahedron a highly singular space called symplectic toric quasifold.

Regular Icosahedron

A brief history of the development of the regular polyhedrons theory is given. The work introduces the reader to modelling of the two most complex regular polyhedrons – Platonic solids: icosahedron and dodecahedron, in AutoCAD package. It is suggested to apply the method of the icosahedron and dodecahedron building using rectangles with their sides’ ratio like in the golden section, having taken the icosahedron’s golden rectangles as a basis. This method is well-known-of and is used for icosahedron, but is extremely rarely applied to dodecahedron, as in the available literature it is suggested to build the latter one as a figure dual to icosahedron. The work provides information on the first mentioning of this building method by an Italian mathematician L. Pacioli in his Divine Proportion book. In 1937, a Soviet mathematician D.I. Perepelkin published a paper On One Building Case of the Regular Icosahedron and Regular Dodecahedron, where he noted that this “method is not very well known of” and provided a building based “solely on dividing an intercept in the golden section ratio”. Taking into account the simplicity and good visualization of the building based on golden rectangles, a computer modeling of icosahedron and dodecahedron inscribed in a regular hexahedron is performed in the article. Given that, if we think in terms of the golden section concepts, the bigger side of the rectangle equals a whole intercept – side of the regular hexahedron, and the smaller sides of the icosahedron and dodecahedron rectangles are calculated as parts of the golden section ratio (of the bigger part and the smaller one, respectively). It is demonstrated how, using the scheme of a wireframe image of the dual connection of these polyhedrons as a basis, to calculate the sides of the rectangles in the golden section ratio in order to build an “infinite” cascade of these dual figures, as well as to build the icosahedron and dodecahedron circumscribed about the regular hexahedron. The method based on using the golden-section rectangles is also applied to building semiregular polyhedrons – Archimedean solids: a truncated icosahedron, truncated dodecahedron, icosidodecahedron, rhombicosidodecahedron, and rhombitruncated icosidodecahedron, which are based on icosahedron and dodecahedron.

Regular Icosahedron

We describe symplectic and complex toric spaces associated with the five regular convex polyhedra. The regular tetrahedron and the cube are rational and simple, the regular octahedron is not simple, the regular dodecahedron is not rational, and the regular icosahedron is neither simple nor rational. We remark that the last two cases cannot be treated via standard toric geometry.

We present a construction of highly entangled states defined on the topology of a platonic solid using tensor networks based on ancillary Absolute Maximally Entangled (AME) states. We illustrate the idea using the example of a quantum state based on AME(5,2) over a dodecahedron. We analyze the entropy of such states on many different partitions, and observe that they come on integer numbers and are almost maximal. We also observe that all platonic solids accept the construction of AME states based on Reed-Solomon codes since their number of facets, vertices and edges are always a prime number plus one.

AbstractCuller and Vogtmann defined a simplicial spaceO(g), calledouter space, to study the outer automorphism group of the free groupFg. Using representation theoretic methods, we give an embedding ofO(g) into the analytification of X(Fg,SL2(ℂ)), theSL2(ℂ) character variety ofFg, reproving a result of Morgan and Shalen. Then we show that every pointvcontained in a maximal cell ofO(g) defines a flat degeneration of X(Fg,SL2(ℂ)) to a toric varietyX(PΓ). We relate X(Fg,SL2(ℂ)) andX(v) topologically by showing that there is a surjective, continuous, proper map Ξv:X(Fg,SL2(ℂ)) →X(v). We then show that this map is a symplectomorphism on a dense open subset of X(Fg, SL2(ℂ)) with respect to natural symplectic structures on X(Fg, SL2(ℂ)) andX(v). In this way, we construct an integrable Hamiltonian system in X(Fg, SL2(ℂ)) for each point in a maximal cell ofO(g), and we show that eachvdefines a topological decomposition of X(Fg, SL2(ℂ)) derived from the decomposition ofX(PΓ) by its torus orbits. Finally, we show that the valuations coming from the closure of a maximal cell inO(g) all arise as divisorial valuations built from an associated projective compactification of X(Fg, SL2(ℂ)).
