In other areas of mathematics, such as the theories of [[abstract polytope]]s and [[star polytope]]s, the requirement for convexity is relaxed. Abstract theory still requires that the set of faces include the polytope itself and the empty set.
 
There are specific names for ''k''-faces depending on the value of ''k'' and, in some cases, how close ''k'' is to the dimensionality ''n'' of the polytope.
