Abstract

A convex polytope PP in the real projective space with reflections in the facets of PP is a Coxeter polytope if the reflections generate a subgroup Γ\Gamma of the group of projective transformations so that the Γ\Gamma-translates of the interior of PP are mutually disjoint. It follows from work of Vinberg that if PP is a Coxeter polytope, then the interior Ω\Omega of the Γ\Gamma-orbit of PP is convex and Γ\Gamma acts properly discontinuously on Ω\Omega. A Coxeter polytope PP is 22-perfect if PΩP \smallsetminus \Omega consists of only some vertices of PP. In this paper, we describe the deformation spaces of 22-perfect Coxeter polytopes PP of dimension d4d \geqslant 4 with the same dihedral angles when the underlying polytope of PP is a truncation polytope, i.e. a polytope obtained from a simplex by successively truncating vertices. The deformation spaces of Coxeter truncation polytopes of dimension d=2d = 2 and d=3d = 3 were studied respectively by Goldman and the third author.
