What Cayley graphs arise as nodes+edges from "nice" polytopes and when are these polytopes convex?

The Permutohedron is a remarkable convex polytope in $R^n$, such that its nodes are indexed by permutations and edges correspond to the Cayley graph of $S_n$ with respect to the standard generators, i....

Large subgroups of the Hamming cube

Let's consider the abelian group $\mathbb{Z}^N_2$ equipped with the Hamming metric (the hypercube). Suppose I have a subgroup of this hypercube (not necessarily a subcube) which is generated by a set ...
