Is the dodecahedron flexible (as a polytope with fixed edge-lengths)?
Consider the (regular) dodecahedron $D\subset\Bbb R^3$. I want to continuously deform it so that throughout the deformation
it stays a convex polytope,
it stays a combinatorial dodecahedron (i.e. its ...

Is a convex polyhedron determined by its edge lengths and angular defects?
Let's consider 3-dimensional convex polyhedra $P\subset\Bbb R^3$.
The angular defect at a vertex $v$ is $2\pi$ minus the sum of the interior angles of the incident faces at $v$.

Is a ...

Infinitesimal rigidity vs local rigidity of isometrically immersed riemannian manifolds
I was reading the nice survey on rigidity, focusing on tensegrities by Connelly, and I'd like to know the status and feedback about a question he asks:
A theorem by Gluck and this work of Connelly, ...
