A geometric realization of an abstract polyhedron {\cal P} is a mapping that sends an i-face to an open set of dimension i. This work adapts a method based on Wythoff construction to generate a full rank realization of an abstract regular polyhedron from its automorphism group Γ. The method entails finding a real orthogonal representation of Γ of degree 3 and applying its image to suitably chosen (not necessarily connected) open sets in space. To demonstrate the use of the method, it is applied to the abstract polyhedra whose automorphism groups are isomorphic to the non-crystallographic Coxeter group H.
抽象多面体(\mathcal{P})的几何实现是一种映射,它将(i)维面映射到(i)维开集。这项工作采用了一种基于怀索夫构造的方法,从其自同构群(\Gamma)生成抽象正多面体的满秩实现。该方法需要找到(\Gamma)的一个3次实正交表示,并将其像应用于空间中适当选择的(不一定连通的)开集。为了演示该方法的使用,将其应用于自同构群同构于非晶体学考克斯特群(H)的抽象多面体。
