The Code Behind Geometry : Coxeter Groups

We explore the thesis that Coxeter groups underlie geometry and fundamental physics. In particular we focus upon how Coxeter groups can be used to generate regular polytopes and honeycombs. We discuss how this can be achieved using the Wythoff construction, as described in Chapter 11 of Coxeter's book "Regular Polytopes". We investigate this construction from several perspectives, using matrices, representation theory and group theory. This is all closely related to my other video Perfect Shapes in Higher Dimensions: Polytopes and Coxeter Groups    • Perfect Shapes in Higher Dimensions: Polyt...   Resources An Exceptionally Simple Theory of Everything A.
