Flexible suspensions with a hexagonal equator

Abstract

We construct a flexible (non immersed) suspension with a hexagonal equator in Euclidean 3-space and study its properties related to the Strong Bellows Conjecture which reads as follows: if an immersed polyhedron $\Cal P$ in Euclidean 3-space is obtained from another immersed polyhedron $\Cal Q$ by a continuous flex then $\Cal P$ and $\Cal Q$ are scissors congruent.
