• Resumen

  • Let d ≥ 2. In this paper we prove that Id(ℓ, a) fills Rd face–to–face by translations. We prove that the symmetry group of Id(ℓ, a) contains the product of cyclic groups Cd × C2 as a subgroup. We compute the Lebesgue j–volume (i.e., the sum of the Lebesgue j–measures of the j–faces) of Id(ℓ, a), for 1 ≤ j < d. We compute the incidence numbers (as defined by Grünbaum) of the faces of Id(ℓ, a).
