Bi-cyclic 4-polytopes (Q749873): Difference between revisions

A bi-cyclic 4-polytope is the convex hull of a finite subgroup A of the torus \[ T^ 2=\{(\cos 2\pi x,\sin 2\pi x,\cos 2\pi y,\sin 2\pi y)| \quad | x| \leq \}\text{ in } {\mathbb{R}}^ 4. \] Due to the fact that A may be represented as \(\Lambda /{\mathbb{Z}}^ 2\) where \(\Lambda\) is some planar geometric lattice containing \({\mathbb{Z}}^ 2\), one can obtain information about the facial structure of conv(A) from \(\Lambda\). The techniques used here were introduced by the author in ibid. 52, 115-128 (1985; Zbl 0584.52003) where he studied the convex hulls of generalized moment curves on \(T^ 2\).
