RESUMO
A convex polytope is semiregular if all its faces are regular and the group of isometries acts transitively over vertices. The classification of semiregular polytopes includes a few infinite families, some low dimensional exceptions and a family, the Gosset polytopes, which is defined for dimension 3 to 8. Certain groups of isometries of R(n) generated by reflections are called Coxeter groups. The classification of finite Coxeter groups includes three infinite families, some exceptions in dimension 4 or lower and the exceptional groups E(6), E(7) and E(8). The group En is the group of isometries of the Gosset polytope in dimension n. In this dissertation we construct the Coxeter groups En, the Gosset polytopes and indicate the relationship of these objects with the lattices and Lie algebras which are also known as E(n).
