Polyhedra obtained from Coxeter groups and quaternions

M Koca, M Al-Ajmi, R Koç - Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2007 - pubs.aip.org
We note that all regular and semiregular polytopes in arbitrary dimensions can be obtained
from the Coxeter-Dynkin diagrams. The vertices of a regular or semiregular polytope are the …

Clifford algebra unveils a surprising geometric significance of quaternionic root systems of Coxeter groups

PP Dechant - Advances in Applied Clifford Algebras, 2013 - Springer
Quaternionic representations of Coxeter (reflection) groups of ranks 3 and 4, as well as
those of E 8, have been used extensively in the literature. The present paper analyses such …
