Abstract

A \textit{geometric realization} of an abstract polyhedron P\mathcal{P} is a mapping ρ:PE3\rho : \mathcal{P} \to \mathbb{E}^3 that sends an ii-face to an open set of dimension ii. This work adapts a method based on Wythoff construction to generate a full rank realization of a regular abstract polyhedron from its automorphism group Γ\Gamma. The method entails finding a real orthogonal representation of Γ\Gamma of degree 3 and applying its image to suitably chosen open sets in space. To demonstrate the use of the method, we apply it to the abstract polyhedra whose automorphism groups are isomorphic to the non-crystallographic Coxeter group H3H_3.
