Abstract

Let V be a three-dimensional vector space over a finite field. We show that any irreducible subgroup of GL(V) that arises as the automorphism group of an abstract regular polytope preserves a nondegenerate symmetric bilinear form on V. In particular, the only classical groups on V that arise as automorphisms of such polytopes are the orthogonal groups.
