    Contemporary Mathematics
    Volume: 764; 2021; 272 pp
    MSC: Primary 05; 20; 51; 52; 57

    This volume contains the proceedings of the AMS Special Session on Polytopes and Discrete Geometry, held from April 21–22, 2018, at Northeastern University, Boston, Massachusetts.

    The papers showcase the breadth of discrete geometry through many new methods and results in a variety of topics. Also included are survey articles on some important areas of active research. This volume is aimed at researchers in discrete and convex geometry and researchers who work with abstract polytopes or string \(C\)-groups. It is also aimed at early career mathematicians, including graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, to give them a glimpse of the variety and beauty of these research areas.

    Topics covered in this volume include: the combinatorics, geometry, and symmetries of convex polytopes; tilings; discrete point sets; the combinatorics of Eulerian posets and interval posets; symmetries of surfaces and maps on surfaces; self-dual polytopes; string \(C\)-groups; hypertopes; and graph coloring.

    Readership

    Graduate students and research mathematicians interested in various aspects of discrete, combinatorial, and convex geometry.
