Abstract
We prove that G2(2m) and 3D4(23m) are automorphism groups of regular polytopes of rank n = 4, 5, except for the group 3D4(23m) when n = 5 and m is a power of 3. The minimal number of generating conjugate involutions whose product equals 1 is found, and the existence of new regular polytopes of rank 3 with these automorphism groups is established.
期刊介绍:
This bimonthly journal publishes results of the latest research in the areas of modern general algebra and of logic considered primarily from an algebraic viewpoint. The algebraic papers, constituting the major part of the contents, are concerned with studies in such fields as ordered, almost torsion-free, nilpotent, and metabelian groups; isomorphism rings; Lie algebras; Frattini subgroups; and clusters of algebras. In the area of logic, the periodical covers such topics as hierarchical sets, logical automata, and recursive functions.
Algebra and Logic is a translation of ALGEBRA I LOGIKA, a publication of the Siberian Fund for Algebra and Logic and the Institute of Mathematics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
All articles are peer-reviewed.
