Spherical structures on torus knots and links
The present paper considers two infinite families of cone-manifolds endowed
with spherical metric. The singular strata is either the torus knot or the torus link . Domains of existence for a
spherical metric are found in terms of cone angles and volume formul{\ae} are
presented.Comment: 17 pages, 5 figures; typo
Volume formula for a -symmetric spherical tetrahedron through its edge lengths
The present paper considers volume formulae, as well as trigonometric
identities, that hold for a tetrahedron in 3-dimensional spherical space of
constant sectional curvature +1. The tetrahedron possesses a certain symmetry:
namely rotation through angle in the middle points of a certain pair of
its skew edges.Comment: 27 pages, 2 figures; enhanced and improved exposition, typos

Volumes of polytopes in spaces of constant curvature
We overview the volume calculations for polyhedra in Euclidean, spherical and
hyperbolic spaces. We prove the Sforza formula for the volume of an arbitrary
tetrahedron in and . We also present some results, which provide a
solution for Seidel problem on the volume of non-Euclidean tetrahedron.
Finally, we consider a convex hyperbolic quadrilateral inscribed in a circle,
horocycle or one branch of equidistant curve. This is a natural hyperbolic
analog of the cyclic quadrilateral in the Euclidean plane. We find a few
versions of the Brahmagupta formula for the area of such quadrilateral. We also
present a formula for the area of a hyperbolic trapezoid.Comment: 22 pages, 9 figures, 58 reference
