Petrie-Coxeter Maps Revisited
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a technique for constructing new chiral or regular polyhedra (or maps) from self-dual abstract chiral polytopes of rank 4. From improperly self-dual chiral polytopes we derive “Petrie-Coxeter-type” polyhedra (abstract chiral analogues of the classical Petrie-Coxeter polyhedra) and investigate their groups of automorphisms.

Coxeter-Petrie Complexes of Regular Maps
Coxeter-Petrie complexes naturally arise as thin diagram geometries whose rankthree residues contain all of the dual forms of a regular algebraic mapM. Corresponding to an algebraic map is its classical dual, which is obtained simply by interchanging the vertices and faces, as well as its Petrie dual, which comes about by replacing the faces by the so-called Petrie polygons.

متن کاملPetrie Duality and the Anstee-Robertson Graph
We define the operation of Petrie duality for maps, describing its general properties both geometrically and algebraically. We give a number of examples and applications, including the construction of a pair of regular maps, one orientable of genus 17, the other non-orientable of genus 52, which embed the 40-vertex cage of valency 6 and girth 5 discovered independently by Robertson and Anstee. ...
متن کاملCombinatorial maps
The classical approach to maps, as surveyed by Coxeter and Moser (“Generators and Relations for Discrete Groups,” Springer-Verlag, 1980), is by cell decomposition of a surface. A more recent approach, by way of graph embedding schemes, is taken by Edmonds (Notices Amer. Math. Sot. 7 (1960), 646), Tutte (Canad. J. Math. 31 (5) (1979), 986-1004), and others. Our intention is to formulate a purely...
متن کاملMirror graphs: graph theoretical characterization of reflection arrangements and finite Coxeter groups
Mirror graphs were introduced by Brešar et al. in 2004 as an intriguing class of graphs: vertextransitive, isometrically embeddable into hypercubes, having a strong connection with regular maps and polytope structure. In this article we settle the structure of mirror graphs by characterizing them as precisely the Cayley graphs of the finite Coxeter groups or equivalently the tope graphs of refl...
متن کاملMaps admitting trialities but not dualities
We use group theory to construct infinite families of maps on surfaces which are invariant under Wilson’s map operations of order 3 but not under the operations of order 2, such as duality and Petrie duality. MSC classification: Primary 05C25, secondary 05C10, 20B25.
