Review text

The authors discuss self-duality groups and ranks of self-duality in the context of tilings of the Euclidean plane, polyhedra in Euclidean 3-space and point-line configurations in the projective plane. The rank of a self-dual object \(F\) is defined as the smallest integer \(r\) (allowing \(\infty\)) such that \(F\) has a self-duality of order \(r\). Various results on such ranks are obtained. For example, the ranks of self-dual convex polyhedra are of the form \(r=2^ k\) (\(k\geq 1\)), and every such \(r\) does indeed occur. Results of a similar nature are proved for the two other classes of objects, yet the detailed answers are different. The authors also derive interesting results on the automorphism groups and self- duality groups in the three cases. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0743.90077].
