Jan 24, 2013 at 17:05 comment added Gil Kalai Dear Hans, I believe the count e already took into account translation and rotations. Namely for the tetrahedron you have 3 times 4 degrees of freedom to locate the vertices and when you subtract 6 for translations and rotations you are left with 6.
Jan 23, 2013 at 17:11 comment added Hans-Peter Stricker Dear Gil: You say it is not obvious, so where do I find a calculation of $e$ (the number of edges) as the "right" dimension of $S(P)$? If I substract translations and rotations I come up with $e-6$ (as in Richter-Gebert's REALIZATION SPACES OF POLYTOPES, p. 14, if I did understand him correctly). But what does this mean in the case of the tetrahedron with $e=6$? I for myself came up with $e-2$ (+ 7 degrees of freedom for translations, rotations, and scaling), i.e. $e+5$, but that was only a guess. See here mathoverflow.net/questions/119607/…
