Since Gruenbaum and Shephard's investigation of self-intersection-free polyhedra with positive genus and vertex-transitive symmetry in 1984 the question of complete classification of such objects in Euclidean 3-space has been open. Due to a…
We classify the convex polytopes whose symmetry groups have two orbits on the flags. These exist only in two or three dimensions, and the only ones whose combinatorial automorphism group is also two-orbit are the cuboctahedron, the…
This paper proves the following statement: If a convex body can form a three or fourfold translative tiling in the three-dimensional space, it must be a parallelohedron. In other words, it must be a parallelotope, a hexagonal prism, a…
This paper proves the following statement: If a convex body can form a fivefold translative tiling in $\mathbb{E}^3$, it must be a parallelotope, a hexagonal prism, a rhombic dodecahedron, an elongated dodecahedron, a truncated octahedron,…

Regular polygonal complexes in euclidean 3-space are discrete polyhedra-like structures with finite or infinite polygons as faces and with finite graphs as vertex-figures, such that their symmetry groups are transitive on the flags. The…
We consider compact hyperbolic Coxeter polytopes whose Coxeter diagram contains a unique dotted edge. We prove that such a polytope in d-dimensional hyperbolic space has at most d+3 facets. In view of results of Lann\'er, Kaplinskaja,…
Starting from a finite simple graph $G$, for each eigenvalue $\theta$ of its adjacency matrix one can construct a convex polytope $P_G(\theta)$, the so called $\theta$-eigenpolytop of $G$. For some polytopes this technique can be used to…
We prove that every three-dimensional polyhedron is uniquely determined by its dihedral angles and edge lengths, even if nonconvex or self-intersecting, under two plausible sufficient conditions: (i) the polyhedron has only convex faces and…
Any convex polytope whose combinatorial automorphism group has two orbits on the flags is isomorphic to one whose group of Euclidean symmetries has two orbits on the flags (equivalently, to one whose automorphism group and symmetry group…
We determine the combinatorial types of all the 3-dimensional simple convex polytopes in R^3 that can be realized as mean curvature convex (or totally geodesic) Riemannian polyhedra with non-obtuse dihedral angles in Riemannian 3-manifolds…
Given a convex n-gon P in the Euclidean plane, it is well known that the simplicial complex \theta(P) with vertex set given by diagonals in P and facets given by triangulations of P is the boundary complex of a polytope of dimension n-3. We…
A polygonal complex in euclidean 3-space is a discrete polyhedron-like structure with finite or infinite polygons as faces and finite graphs as vertex-figures, such that a fixed number r of faces surround each edge. It is said to be regular…
Skeletal polyhedra and polygonal complexes in ordinary Euclidean 3-space are finite or infinite 3-periodic structures with interesting geometric, combinatorial, and algebraic properties. They can be viewed as finite or infinite 3-periodic…
A set of vertices of a graph is distinguishing if the only automorphism that preserves it is the identity. The minimal size of such sets, if they exist, is the distinguishing cost. The distinguishing costs of vertex transitive cubic graphs…
We study oriented connected closed polyhedral surfaces with non-degenerate triangular faces in three-dimensional Euclidean space, calling them polyhedra for short. A polyhedron is called flexible if its spatial shape can be changed…
We investigate the question of whether any $d$-colorable simplicial $d$-polytope can be octahedralized, i.e., it can be subdivided to a $d$-dimensional geometric cross-polytopal complex. We give a positive answer in dimension $3$, with the…
Regular polytopes, the generalization of the five Platonic solids in 3 space dimensions, exist in arbitrary dimension $n\geq-1$; now in {\rm dim}. 2, 3 and 4 there are \emph{extra} polytopes, while in general dimensions only the…
This paper discusses properties of the graphs of 2-way and 3-way transportation polytopes, in particular, their possible numbers of vertices and their diameters. Our main results include a quadratic bound on the diameter of axial 3-way…
For any finite set $\A$ of $n$ points in $\R^2$, we define a $(3n-3)$-dimensional simple polyhedron whose face poset is isomorphic to the poset of ``non-crossing marked graphs'' with vertex set $\A$, where a marked graph is defined as a…
