Deformation of finite-volume hyperbolic Coxeter polyhedra, limiting growth rates and Pisot numbers

A connection between real poles of the growth functions for Coxeter groups acting on hyperbolic space of dimensions three and greater and algebraic integers is investigated. In particular, a geometric convergence of fundamental domains for cocompact hyperbolic Coxeter groups with finite-volume limiting polyhedron provides a relation between Salem numbers and Pisot numbers. Several examples conclude this work.Comment: 26 pages, 16 figures, 4 data tables; minor corrections; European Journal of Combinatorics, 201

Volume of a doubly truncated hyperbolic tetrahedron

The present paper regards the volume function of a doubly truncated hyperbolic tetrahedron. Starting from the previous results of J. Murakami, U. Yano and A. Ushijima, we have developed a unified approach to express the volume in different geometric cases via dilogarithm functions and to treat properly the many analytic strata of the latter. Finally, several numeric examples are given.Comment: Several misprints in the proof of Theorem 1 correcte
