Abstract
The Stoker problem, first formulated in Stoker (Commun. Pure Appl. Math. 21:119–168, 1968), consists in understanding to what extent a convex polyhedron is determined by its dihedral angles. By means of the double construction, this problem is intimately related to rigidity issues for 3-dimensional cone-manifolds. In Mazzeo and Montcouquiol (J. Differ. Geom. 87(3):525–576, 2011), two such rigidity results were proven, implying that the infinitesimal version of the Stoker conjecture is true in the hyperbolic and Euclidean cases. In this second article, we show that local rigidity holds and prove that the space of convex hyperbolic polyhedra with given combinatorial type is locally parametrized by the set of dihedral angles, together with a similar statement for hyperbolic cone-3-manifolds.
