The six-dimensional Delaunay polytopes

Abstract

Given a lattice $L$, a full dimensional polytope $P$ is called a {\em Delaunay polytope} if the set of its vertices is $S\cap L$ with $S$ being an {\em empty sphere} of the lattice. Extending our previous work \cite{DD-hyp} on the {\em hypermetric cone} $HYP_7$, we classify the six-dimensional Delaunay polytopes according to their {\em combinatorial type}. The list of 6241 combinatorial types is obtained by a study of the set of faces of the polyhedral cone $HYP_7$.
