Abstract
We show that the maximal non-central hyperplane sections of the regular n-simplex of side-length sqrt 2 at a fixed distance t to the centroid are those parallel to a face of the simplex, if and . For , the same is true in a slightly smaller range for t. This adds to a previous result for . For , we determine the maximal and the minimal sections for all distances t to the centroid.
