Are there any new platonic solids in non-euclidean space
I know thay in the 2 dimensional elliptic plane there are two additional regular polygons, the digon/lune, and the monogon/henagon.
Does this sort of effect extend into 3 dimensional elliptic space? Is there a regular elliptic polyhedron with fewer faces than the tetrahedron?
EDIT:
On further thought, it seems obvious that there must be a single-faced regular polyhedron in elliptic space that's just a flat plane extended until it contacts itself. But are there 2 faced or three faced regular polyhedra?Last edited by Bohandas; 2020-12-05 at 10:41 PM.

Re: Are there any new platonic solids in non-euclidean space
I found this relatively quickly:

I find this topic interesting, so I might look further later.
