Regular polyhedra of index two. II. (Q717835)

A polyhedron in the Euclidean 3-space can be viewed as a combinatorial object consisting of its vertices, lines, faces and their connections. The automorphism group \(\Gamma\) of the polyhedron in the Euclidean 3-space has a canonical isomorphic image \(\Gamma'\) in the automorphism group \(G\) of the combinatorial object. A polyhedron is said to be regular of index \(n\) if \(G\) is flag-transitive and \(\Gamma'\) is a subgroup of index \(n\) in \(G\). In the underlying article, A. M. Cutler studies regular polyhedra of index 2 with the extra condition that its symmetry group acts transitively on the vertices. It is shown that these polyhedra have either two edge-orbits or two face-orbits under the symmetry group and there are precisely ten such polyhedra. The given list completes the classification of regular polyhedra of index 2 from part I of this paper [\textit{A. M. Cutler} and \textit{E. Schulte}, Beitr. Algebra Geom. 52, No. 1, 133--161 (2011; Zbl 1223.51030)], where the full list of those polyhedra whose symmetry group does not act transitively on the vertices is provided.
