Throughout this article, a regular polytope is a regular incidence- polytope as introduced by \textit{L. Danzer} and the second author in Geom Dedicata 13, 295-308 (1982; Zbl 0505.51019) where the authormophism group A(P) acts transively on the flags of the (abstract) polytope P. In the paper a general method is described how to construct regular polytopes and their groups from other ones. These so-called mixing operations replace the involutions \(\sigma_ 0,...,\sigma_{m-1}\) generating A(P) by other generators \(\rho_ 0,...,\rho_{d-1}\) given in terms of the \(\sigma_ i's.\) In various cases it is possible to interpret the group generated by \(\rho_ 0,...,\rho_{d-1}\) as the automorphism group of a certain regular polytope. Particular cases are the Petrie operation, the Facetting operation, the Halving operation, the Skewing and the Blending operation. Similar procedures - called twisting operations - on twisted Coxeter groups have been discussed by the authors in Math. Z. 201, 209- 226 (1989; Zbl 0646.51023) and in Adv. Math. (to appear). | |||

Throughout this article, a regular polytope is a regular incidence- polytope as introduced by \textit{L. Danzer} and the second author in Geom Dedicata 13, 295-308 (1982; Zbl 0505.51019) where the authormophism group A(P) acts transively on the flags of the (abstract) polytope P. In the paper a general method is described how to construct regular polytopes and their groups from other ones. These so-called mixing operations replace the involutions \(\sigma_ 0,...,\sigma_{m-1}\) generating A(P) by other generators \(\rho_ 0,...,\rho_{d-1}\) given in terms of the \(\sigma_ i's.\) In various cases it is possible to interpret the group generated by \(\rho_ 0,...,\rho_{d-1}\) as the automorphism group of a certain regular polytope. Particular cases are the Petrie operation, the Facetting operation, the Halving operation, the Skewing and the Blending operation. Similar procedures - called twisting operations - on twisted Coxeter groups have been discussed by the authors in Math. Z. 201, 209- 226 (1989; Zbl 0646.51023) and in Adv. Math. (to appear).
