Abstract Chiral Polytopes

"Aimed at graduate students and researchers in combinatorics, group theory or Euclidean geometry, this text gives a self-contained introduction to abstract polytopes and specialises in chiral abstract polytopes. Its many figures, exercises and examples develop a deep understanding, with a list of 75 open problems included to challenge and inspire"--
