Abstract

We prove that there is a finite list of 3-polytopes so that every rational d-polytope, d ≥ 9, contains a three-dimensional face in the list. A similar result where "faces" are replaced by "quotients" is proved already for (general) 5-polytopes. We also prove that every d-polytope, d ≥ 9, contains a three-dimensional quotient which is a simplex.
