Chiral polytope

In the study of abstract polytopes, a chiral polytope is that it is a polytope that is as symmetric as possible without being mirror-symmetric, formalized in terms of the action of the symmetry group of the polytope on its flags.

This article is about polytopes with full rotational symmetry. For polytopes lacking mirror symmetry see, see Chirality.
