Abstract
All \(\mathrm{SL}(n)\) contravariant vector valuations on polytopes in \({\mathbb {R}}^n\) are completely classified without any additional assumptions. The facet vector is defined. It turns out to be the unique class of such valuations for \(n\ge 3\). In dimension two, the classification corresponds to the known case of \(SL (2)\) covariant valuations.
