| Aug 31, 2022 at 12:47 | comment | added | Brian Hopkins | It would be nice if the answers included the regular polytopes for the appropriate dimensions & number of points/vertices, but I see that the Thomson problem for 3-space and $n=8$ is the square antiprism, not the cube, and for $n=20$ it's not the dodecahedron. | |
