Regular skew polyhedron

Polyhedron with non-planar faces In geometry, the regular skew polyhedra are generalizations to the set of regular polyhedra which include the possibility of nonplanar faces or vertex figures. Coxeter looked at skew vertex figures which created new 4-dimensional regular polyhedra, and much later Branko Grünbaum looked at regular skew faces.[1] Infinite regular skew polyhedra that span 3-space or higher are called regular skew apeirohedra. History According to Coxeter, in 1926 John Fl...
