Journal Article
Kasprzyk, A. M., & Nill, B. (2012). Reflexive polytopes of higher index and the number 12. Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 19(3), Article P9

We introduce reflexive polytopes of index l as a natural generalisation of the notion of a reflexive polytope of index 1. These l-reflexive polytopes also appear as dual pairs. In dimension two we show that they arise from reflexive polygons via a ch... Read More about Reflexive polytopes of higher index and the number 12.
