Injectivity radii of hyperbolic polyhedra

Joseph D. Masters

Vol. 197 (2001), No. 2, 369–382
Abstract

We define the injectivity radius of a Coxeter polyhedron in H3 to be half the shortest translation length among hyperbolic/loxodromic elements in the orientation-preserving reflection group. We show that, for finite-volume polyhedra, this number is always less than 2.6339..., and for compact polyhedra it is always less than 2.1225... .
