On the Volumes of Hyperbolic Simplices

We present an explicit formula for calculating the volume of an arbitrary hyperbolic 4-simplex in terms of the coordinates of its vertices; by this formula, the volume can be expressed in terms of one-dimensional integrals of real-valued integrands over closed intervals of the real line. In addition, it is proved in the paper that the volume of a hyperbolic 5-simplex cannot be expressed as the double integral of an elementary function of the coordinates of its vertices (of edge lengths). © 2019, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
