How to compare Dehn Invariants

Mathematics Asked by MandelBroccoli on November 20, 2021

I just learned about tensor products in the context of Hilbert’s Third Problem. I think I understand what a tensor product is, at least what it was used for in the Dehn Invariant. However, I get stuck when I want to compare two tensor products (for example the Dehn Invariant of a regular tetrahedron and that of a regular octahedron). In the example, I get $6sqrt[3]{6sqrt{2}}otimes arccosleft({frac{1}{3}}right)$ for the tetrahedron and $8sqrt[3]{12sqrt{2}}otimes arccosleft({frac{sqrt{3}}{3}}right)$ for the octahedron. How do I compare the two? Both are in $mathbb{R}otimesmathbb{R}/pimathbb{Q},$ so it isn’t obvious if they are actually different. I guess what I am asking is how to actually compute tensor products in the context of Dehn invariants.
