Group Theory 2018-03-13 v2

Abstract

We show that for all integers m2m\geq 2, and all integers k2k\geq 2, the orthogonal groups \Orth±(2m,\Fk)\Orth^{\pm}(2m,\Fk) act on abstract regular polytopes of rank 2m2m, and the symplectic groups \Sp(2m,\Fk)\Sp(2m,\Fk) act on abstract regular polytopes of rank 2m+12m+1.
