Deformation spaces of Coxeter truncation polytopes
Abstract
A convex polytope in the real projective space with reflections in the facets of is a Coxeter polytope if the reflections generate a subgroup of the group of projective transformations so that the -translates of the interior of are mutually disjoint. It follows from work of Vinberg that if is a Coxeter polytope, then the interior of the -orbit of is convex and acts properly discontinuously on . A Coxeter polytope is -perfect if consists of only some vertices of . In this paper, we describe the deformation spaces of -perfect Coxeter polytopes of dimension with the same dihedral angles when the underlying polytope of 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 and were studied respectively by Goldman and the third author.
