Abstract

This Demonstration shows how to hyperbolize a dodecahedron (and other Platonic solids). Effectively hyperbolization with parameter means to apply the map to all points of the surface of a dodecahedron. Positive values of generate sharp 2D cusps along the edges. Negative values of generate round bulbs at the centers of the faces of the original Platonic solid. A decorated hyperbolic dodecahedron;;
