Orthogonal Surfaces in Four and More Dimensions
by
Stefan Felsner
TU Berlin
Coauthors: Sarah Renkl

Orthogonal surfaces in 3-D are quite well understood. Mild nondegeneracy conditions allow to set them in correspondence to Schnyder woods and 3-connected planar graphs.

In higher dimensions the orthogonal surfaces with a generator set in general position are in a similar correspondence to simplicial polytopes.

Our aim is to understand larger classes of orthogonal surfaces. Some progress and some related problems are the topic of this talk.
