Constructions for 4-Polytopes and the Cone of Flag Vectors
Abstract
We describe a construction for d-polytopes generalising the well known stacking operation. The construction is applied to produce 2-simplicial and 2-simple 4-polytopes with g2=0 on any number of n >= 13 vertices. In particular, this implies that the ray l1, described by Bayer (1987), is fully contained in the convex hull of all flag vectors of 4-polytopes. Especially interesting examples on 9, 10 and 11 vertices are presented.
