Abstract

Every equivelar abstract polytope of type {p1,,pn1}\{p_1, \ldots, p_{n-1}\} has at least 2p1pn12p_1 \cdots p_{n-1} flags. Polytopes that attain this lower bound are called tight. Here we investigate the question of under what conditions there is a tight orientably-regular polytope of type {p1,,pn1}\{p_1, \ldots, p_{n-1}\}. We show that it is necessary and sufficient that whenever pip_i is odd, both pi1p_{i-1} and pi+1p_{i+1} are even divisors of 2pi2p_i.
