The Geometry of an Equifacetal Simplex
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 December 2009
Abstract
Equifacetal simplices, all of whose codimension one faces are congruent to one another, are studied. It is shown that the isometry group of such a simplex acts transitively on its set of vertices and, as an application, equifacetal simplices are shown to have unique centres. It is conjectured that a simplex with a unique centre must be equifacetal. The notion of the combinatorial type of an equifacetal simplex is introduced and analysed, and all possible combinatorial types of equifacetal simplices are constructed in even dimensions.
