Polytope theory has produced a great number of remarkably simple and complete characterization results for face-number sets or f-vector sets of classes of polytopes. We observe that in most cases these sets can be described as the…

Let $R$ be an order in an algebraic number field. If $R$ is a principal order, then many explicit results on its arithmetic are available. Among others, $R$ is half-factorial if and only if the class group of $R$ has at most two elements.…
