Periodically-cyclic polytopes are polytopes for which certain subpolytopes are cyclic. Bisztriczky discovered a class of periodically-cyclic polytopes that also satisfy Gale's evenness condition. The faces of these polytopes are braxtopes, a certain class of nonsimplicial polytopes studied by the authors. In this paper we prove that the periodically-cyclic Gale polytopes of Bisztriczky are exactly the polytopes that satisfy Gale's evenness condition and are braxial (all faces are braxtopes). The existence of other periodically-cyclic Gale polytopes is open.15 pagesCombinatorics52B12On Gale and braxial polytopestext
