We consider the polytopes which are certain orthogonal projections of k-dimensional regular simplexes in k-dimensional Euclidean space R k. We call such polytopes r~-polytopes. Every sufficiently symmetric polytope, such as a regular polytope, a quasi-regular polyhedron, etc., belongs to this class.
We define incidence quasi-polytopes and give a procedure for constructing regular incidence quasi-polytopes. We use this procedure to construct a finite map of type {e, 6} for all even ~ and 6, and infinitely many such maps when ~ or 6 is divisible by 4 and both are greater than or equal to 4.
It is shown that under certain conditions the regularization of a pair of regular incidence polytopes is not itself an incidence polytope. Thus there exist regular incidence quasipolytopes which are not incidence polytopes.
