There are seventeen universal locally projective polytopes (nine nondegenerate). Amongst their 441 quotients are a further four (nonuniversal) regular polytopes, and 152 nonregular but section regular polytopes. All 156 of the latter have hemidodecahedral facets or hemi-icosahedral vertex figures. It is noted that, remarkably, every rank 4 locally projective section regular polytope is finite. The article gives a survey of the literature of locally projective polytopes and their quotients, and fills one small gap in the classification in rank 4.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2004-01-14T03:31:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "51M20", "52B15" ], "keywords": [ "universal locally projective polytopes", "classification", "locally projective section regular polytope", "hemi-icosahedral vertex figures", "hemidodecahedral facets" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2003math.....10429H" } } }
