We present 35 open problems on combinatorial, geometric and algebraic aspects of k-orbit abstract polytopes. We also present a theory of rooted polytopes that has appeared implicitly in previous work but has not been formalized before.

Symmetry type graphs on 4-orbit maps
• Mathematics
• 2018
It is well known that there exist twenty two symmetry type graphs associated to 4-orbit maps. For this ones we give the feasible values taken by the degree of the vertices and the number appropriateExpand
An existence result on two-orbit maniplexes
• Mathematics, Computer Science
• J. Comb. Theory, Ser. A
• 2019
A maniplex of rank n is a connected, n-valent, edge-coloured graph that generalises abstract polytopes and maps and the question arises whether any pregraph of order k satisfying these properties is the symmetry type graph of some k-orbit manipleX. Expand
Flat extensions of abstract polytopes
We consider the problem of constructing an abstract $(n+1)$-polytope $Q$ with $k$ facets isomorphic to a given $n$-polytope $P$, where $k \geq 3$. In particular, we consider the case where we wantExpand
Tight chiral polytopes
• Mathematics
• 2020
A chiral polytope with Schlafli symbol $\{p_1, \ldots, p_{n-1}\}$ has at least $2p_1 \cdots p_{n-1}$ flags, and it is called \emph{tight} if the number of flags meets this lower bound. The SchlafliExpand

Finite polytopes have finite regular covers

We prove that any finite, abstract n-polytope is covered by a finite, abstract regular n-polytope.
A combinatorial theory of Grünbaum's new regular polyhedra, part I: Grünbaum's new regular polyhedra and their automorphism group
The new regular polyhedra, defined and investigated by Branko Grünbaum in [4], and theirn-dimensional generalizations are classified in terms of their symmetry group.
Constructions of Chiral Polytopes of Small Rank

Abstract An abstract polytope of rank $n$ is said to be chiral if its automorphism group has precisely two orbits on the flags, such that adjacent flags belong to distinct orbits. This paperExpand
A construction of higher rank chiral polytopes
This paper shows that this construction implies the existence of chiral d-polytopes, for every rank d>=3, and describes a construction for chiral polytopes with preassigned regular facets. Expand

Summary. This is the first of two papers in which we classify the regular projective polyhedra in $\Bbb P^3$ with planar faces. Here, we develop the basic notions; we introduce a new diophantineExpand
