Abstract
Let be a chiral polytope with type and . Suppose , where and is an odd prime. Let be a Sylow -subgroup of . We prove that , , (so ) and up to duality, for some integral . Moreover, we show that is tight ) if and only if is metacyclic group. Furthermore, if or , then must be tight, and if , where either is odd, or is even and , there exists a non-tight chiral polytope .
