Oct 18, 2022 at 12:32 comment added Günter Rote Recently we have redone the classification of the finite subgroups of $O(4)$, see Towards a geometric understanding of the 4-dimensional point groups, Laith Rastanawi und Günter Rote, arxiv.org/abs/2205.04965 (correcting some mistakes in Conway and Smith).
Jun 26, 2020 at 17:34 comment added Daniel Asimov No, I think you mean Conway and Smith's book (John H. Conway and Derek A. Smith), "On Quaternions and Octonions".

Nov 6, 2019 at 10:02 comment added Günter Rote I meant Conway & Stein's book on quaternions and octonions.

Nov 4, 2019 at 9:26 comment added M. Winter For example, how can I see that this group is not a subgroup of a symmetry group of a uniform polytope (I say uniform, because this class then contains all the finite reflection groups [also E6, E7 and E8], and also cartesian products).
Nov 4, 2019 at 9:18 comment added M. Winter I have some trouble tracking down the reference "Conway and Sloan's book, p. 44, Table 4.1". I assumed that this refers to "Sphere Packings, Lattices and Groups", but then page and table number do not give anything useful. I am really interested in understanding the construction of this polytope for $\pm[I\times C_n]$, but I have a hard time verifying the claims. This is also interesting in light of my question about point groups.
