From the hyperbolic 24–cell to the cuboctahedron

We describe a family of 4-dimensional hyperbolic orbifolds, constructed by deforming an infinite volume orbifold obtained from the ideal, hyperbolic 24-cell by removing two walls.This family provides an infinite number of infinitesimally rigid, infinite covolume, geometrically finite discrete subgroups of Isom.H 4 /.It also leads to finite covolume Coxeter groups which are the homomorphic image of the group of reflections in the hyperbolic 24-cell.The examples are constructed very explicitly, both from an algebraic and a geometric point of view.The method used can be viewed as a 4-dimensional, but infinite volume, analog of 3-dimensional hyperbolic Dehn filling.
