چکیده
The paper gives a collection of open problems on abstract polytopes that were either presented at the Polytopes Day in Calgary or motivated by discussions at the preceding Workshop on Convex and Abstract Polytopes at the Banff International Research Station in May 2006.

Regular and chiral polytopes in low dimensions
There are two main thrusts in the theory of regular and chiral polytopes: the abstract, purely combinatorial aspect, and the geometric one of realizations. This brief survey concentrates on the latter. The dimension of a faithful realization of a finite abstract regular polytope in some euclidean space is no smaller than its rank, while that of a chiral polytope must strictly exceed the rank. T...
متن کاملBrick Polytopes of Spherical Subword Complexes and Generalized Associahedra
We generalize the brick polytope of V. Pilaud and F. Santos to spherical subword complexes for finite Coxeter groups. This construction provides polytopal realizations for a certain class of subword complexes containing all cluster complexes of finite types. For the latter, the brick polytopes turn out to coincide with the known realizations of generalized associahedra, thus opening new perspec...

متن کاملExtension complexity of polytopes with few vertices or facets
We study the extension complexity of polytopes with few vertices or facets. On the one hand, we provide a complete classification of d-polytopes with at most d + 4 vertices according to their extension complexity: Out of the super-exponentially many d-polytopes with d+4 vertices, all have extension complexity d+ 4 except for some families of size θ(d). On the other hand, we show that generic re...
متن کاملMultitriangulations, pseudotriangulations and some problems of realization of polytopes
This thesis explores two specific topics of discrete geometry, the multitriangulations and the polytopal realizations of products, whose connection is the problem of finding polytopal realizations of a given combinatorial structure. A k-triangulation is a maximal set of chords of the convex n-gon such that no k+1 of them mutually cross. We propose a combinatorial and geometric study of multitri...
