Geometry of Pseudospheres II.

T.H.Marshall

Abstract

We investigate finite sequences of hyperplanes in a pseudosphere.
To each such sequence we associate a square symmetric
matrix, the Gram matrix, which gives information about
angle and incidence properties of the hyperplanes. We find
when a given matrix is the Gram matrix of some sequence of
hyperplanes, and when a sequence is determined up to
isometry by its Gram matrix.

We also consider subspaces of pseudospheres and projections
onto them. This leads to an $n$-dimensional cosine
rule for spherical and hyperbolic simplices.
