Abstract

This paper provides a list of all compact hyperbolic Coxeter polytopes the combinatorial type of which is the product of two simplices of dimension greater than 1. Combined with results of Kaplinskaja ([Ka]) this completes the classification of compact hyperbolic Coxeterd-polytopes withd+2 facets.
