Dehn-Sydler-Jessen Via Homological Algebra

arXiv:2502.03380

Abstract

We provide an expository introduction to Euclidean Scissors Congruence, the study of polytopes in Euclidean space up to `cut and paste' relations. We first re-frame questions in scissors congruence as those in group homology. We then use this perspective to review the proof of the Dehn-Sydler-Jessen Theorem as found in the works of Dupont and Sah.
