Title: | Abstract polytopes and their symmetries |
Speaker: | Isabel Hubard (University of Auckland) |
Abstract: | Abstract polytopes are combinatorial structures that generalize the classical concept of convex polytopes. Of particular interest to us will be polytopes with a high degree of symmetries. In this talk we shall give an introduction to the theory of abstract polytopes and take a detailed look at the automorphism groups of regular and two-orbit polytopes. |
