Title in English
A proof of Seidel's conjectures on the volume of ideal tetrahedra in hyperbolic 3-space
Keywords in English
Real hyperbolic space
Seidel's conjectures
Volume of ideal tetrahedra
Abstract in English
We prove a couple of conjectures raised by J. J. Seidel in On the volume of a hyperbolic simplex, Stud. Sci. Math. Hung. (21, 243249, 1986). These conjectures concern the volume of ideal hyperbolic tetrahedra in hyperbolic 3-space and are related to the following general framework. Since explicit formulae for geometric quantities in hyperbolic space (distance, area, volume, etc.) typically involve sophisticated transcendental functions, it is desirable (and quite useful in practice) to expresses these geometric quantities as monotonic functions of algebraic maps. Seidels Speculation 1 says that the volume of an ideal tetrahedron in hyperbolic 3-space depends only on the determinant and permanent of the doubly stochastic Gram matrix of its vertices; Speculation 4 claims that the mentioned volume is monotone in both the determinant and permanent. We are able to give affirmative answers to Speculations 1 and 4 by parameterizing the classifying space of (labelled) ideal tetrahedra in a suitable way.

Abstract in Portuguese
Provamos duas conjecturas apresentadas por J. J. Seidel em On the volume of a hyperbolic simplex, Stud. Sci. Math. Hung. (21, 243249, 1986). Estas conjecturas referem ao volume de tetraedros ideais no 3-espaço hiperbólico e estão relacionadas com o seguinte quadro geral. Como fórmulas explícitas para grandezas geométricas no espaço hiperbólico (distancia, área, volume, etc.) tipicamente envolvem funções transcendentais sofisticadas, é desejável (e, na prática, bastante útil) expressar tais grandezas geométricas como aplicações monótonas de mapas algébricos. A Especulação 1 de Seidel diz que o volume de um tetraedro ideal no 3-espaço hiperbólico depende apenas do determinante e do permanente da matriz de Gram duplamente estocástica G de seus vértices; a Especulação 4 afirma que o referido volume é monótono tanto no determinante quanto no permanente de G. Damos respostas afirmativas ás Especulações 1 e 4 ao parametrizar o espaço classificador de tetraedros ideais (marcados) de maneira adequada.
