Convex polytopes are the convex hulls of a finite set of points in Euclidean spaces. They have rich combinatorial, arithmetic, and metrical theory, and are related to toric varieties and to linear programming

Definition of "regular" in Stringham's "Regular figures in n-dimensional space"

I've been reading Irving Stringham's 1880 thesis, "Regular Figures in n-dimensional Space" (only 14 pages!), after it was mentioned by Coxeter in Regular Polytopes (§7.x). I'm confused about what Stri …

Vertex-transitive polytopes in any dimension with any number of vertices?

For any even $d$, and any $v \geq d + 1$, the answer is yes; take the cyclic polytope $C_d(v)$, consisting of $v$ points on the moment curve $(t, t^2, \dotsc, t^d)$. Any choice of points gives a combi …

Is there any edge- but not vertex-transitive polytope in $d\ge 4$ dimensions?

If you consider a tiling of 3-space to be a 4-dimensional polytope, then the Rhombic dodecahedral honeycomb would work. Other possibilities are limited by the potential 3-faces. Because every edge h …
