✦ Synopsis


Let T (n) denote the number of n-simplices in a minimum cardinality decomposition of the n-cube into n-simplices. For n ≥ 1, we show that T (n) ≥ H (n), where H (n) is the ratio of the hyperbolic volume of the ideal cube to the ideal regular simplex.

Explicit bounds for T (n) are tabulated for n ≤ 10, and we mention some other results on hyperbolic volumes.
