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 …
