Hypercube embedding of Wythoffians
摘要
The Wythoff construction takes a -dimensional polytope , a subset of and returns another -dimensional polytope . If is a regular polytope, then is vertex-transitive. This construction builds a large part of the Archimedean polytopes and tilings in dimension 3 and 4. We want to determine, which of those Wythoffians with regular have their skeleton or dual skeleton isometrically embeddable into the hypercubes and half-cubes . We find six infinite series, which, we conjecture, cover all cases for dimension and some sporadic cases in dimension 3 and 4 (see Tables \ref{WythoffEmbeddable3} and \ref{WythoffEmbeddable4}). Three out of those six infinite series are explained by a general result about the embedding of Wythoff construction for Coxeter groups. In the last section, we consider the Euclidean case; also, zonotopality of embeddable are addressed throughout the text.
