Regular Polytopes in Ordinary Space
نویسندگان
چکیده
The three aims of this paper are to obtain the proof by Dress of the completeness of the enumeration of the Grünbaum–Dress polyhedra (that is, the regular apeirohedra, or apeirotopes of rank 3) in ordinary space E3 in a quicker and more perspicuous way, to give presentations of those of their symmetry groups which are affinely irreducible, and to describe all the discrete regular apeirotopes of rank 4 in E3. The paper gives a complete classification of the discrete regular polytopes in ordinary space.

1 Classical Regular Polytopes
Our purpose in this introductory chapter is to set the scene for the rest of the book. We shall do this by briefly tracing the historical development of the subject. There are two main reasons for this. First, we wish to recall the historical traditions which lie behind current research. It is all too easy to lose track of the past, and it is as true inmathematics as in anything else that those...
متن کاملPolynomial Invariants and Harmonic Functions Related to Exceptional Regular Polytopes
regular polytopes, mean value property, finite reflection groups We compute certain polynomial invariants for the finite reflection groups of the types H3, H4 and F4. Using this result, we explicitly determine the solution space of functions satisfying a mean value property related to the exceptional regular polytopes, namely, the icosahedron and dodecahedron in three dimensions and the 24-cell...
متن کاملA Combinatorial Study of Multiplexes and Ordinary Polytopes
Bisztriczky defines a multiplex as a generalization of a simplex, and an ordinary polytope as a generalization of a cyclic polytope. This paper presents results concerning the combinatorics of multiplexes and ordinary polytopes. The flag vector of the multiplex is computed, and shown to equal the flag vector of a many-folded pyramid over a polygon. Multiplexes, but not other ordinary polytopes,...
متن کاملFlag Vectors of Multiplicial Polytopes
Bisztriczky introduced the multiplex as a generalization of the simplex. A polytope is multiplicial if all its faces are multiplexes. In this paper it is proved that the flag vectors of multiplicial polytopes depend only on their face vectors. A special class of multiplicial polytopes, also discovered by Bisztriczky, is comprised of the ordinary polytopes. These are a natural generalization of ...
متن کاملInradii of Simplices
We study the following generalization of the inradius: For a convex body K in the d-dimensional Euclidean space and a linear k-plane L we define the inradius of K with respect to L by rL(K) = max{r(K;x + L) : x ∈ E}, where r(K;x + L) denotes the ordinary inradius of K ∩ (x+L) with respect to the affine plane x+L. We show how to determine rL(P ) for polytopes and use the result to estimate min{r...
