Abelian and non-Abelian numbers via 3D Origami

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

In this work we introduce new folding axioms involving easy 3D manoeuvres with the aim to push forward the arithmetic limits of the Huzita-Justin axioms. Those 3D axioms involve the use of a flat surface and the rigidity property of convex polyhedra. Using those folding moves, we show that we can construct all Abelian numbers, and numbers whose Galois group is not solvable.
