Abstract: We prove that any finite, abstract n-polytope is covered by a finite, abstract regular n-polytope.

Review text

Let \(P\) and \(Q\) be abstract \(n\)-polytopes. A covering is a rank and adjacency preserving homomorphism of \(P\) to \(Q\). In this article, the authors prove that any finite abstract \(n\)-polytope \(Q\) is covered by a finite abstract regular \(n\)-polytope \(P\).
