Polyhedral Structures, Symmetry, and Applications

Abstract

The study of polyhedra and symmetry has a long and fascinating history tracing back to the early days of geometry. With the passage of time, various notions of polyhedra have attracted attention and have brought to light new exciting classes of regular or other symmetric polyhedra including well-known figures such as the Platonic solids, Kepler-Poinsot star polyhedra, and Petrie-Coxeter sponge polyhedra, as well as the more recently discovered new regular or chiral skeletal polyhedra.
