With his collaborators, Samuel Gitler has defined an infinite number of simple polytopes associated to a given one. These give infinite families of moment angle manifolds, toric manifolds, and small abelian covers of polytopes associated to a corresponding such space. Many problems arise in the study of these manifolds.
