Geometric and analytic interpretation of orthoscheme and Lambert cube in extended hyperbolic space

Abstract

We give a geometric proof of the analyticity of the volume of a tetrahedron in extended hyperbolic space, when vertices of the tetrahedron move continuously from inside to outside of a hyperbolic space keeping every face of the tetrahedron intersecting the hyperbolic space. Then we find a geometric and analytic interpretation of a truncated orthoscheme and Lambert cube in the hyperbolic space from the viewpoint of a tetrahedron in the extended hyperbolic space.

Keywords: hyperbolic space, volume, analytic continuation
