abstract

We classify all sets of nonzero vectors in $\mathbb{R}^3$ such that the angle formed by each pair is a rational multiple of $\pi$. The special case of four-element subsets lets us classify all tetrahedra whose dihedral angles are multiples of $\pi$, solving a 1976 problem of Conway and Jones: there are $2$ one-parameter families and $59$ sporadic tetrahedra, all but three of which are related to either the icosidodecahedron or the $B_3$ root lattice. The proof requires the solution in roots of unity of a $W(D_6)$-symmetric polynomial equation with $105$ monomials (the previous record was $12$ monomials).

  1. On structured cosine sums and applications

    math.NT 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Structured cosine sums on cyclic groups are classified through vanishing sums of roots of unity, yielding a small-weight Fourier rigidity theorem and eigenvalue multiplicity bounds for cyclic Cayley graphs.

  2. Tilings of the sphere by congruent pentagons V: Edge combination $a^{4}b$ with rational angles

    math.CO 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Rational-angle a^4b pentagonal sphere tilings are exactly three families: a 12-tile tetrahedral subdivision, a 4m-tile symmetric family with flips, and a 20-tile non-symmetric case.
