8-cube
In geometry, an 8-cube is an eight-dimensional hypercube. It has 256 vertices, 1024 edges, 1792 square faces, 1792 cubic cells, 1120 tesseract 4-faces, 448 5-cube 5-faces, 112 6-cube 6-faces, and 16 7-cube 7-faces. It is represented by Schläfli symbol , being composed of 3 7-cubes around each 6-face. It is called an octeract, a portmanteau of tesseract (the ''4-cube'') and ''oct'' for eight (dimensions) in Greek. It can also be called a regular hexdeca-8-tope or hexadecazetton, being an 8-dimensional polytope constructed from 16 regular facets. It is a part of an infinite family of polytopes, called hypercubes. The dual of an 8-cube can be called an 8-orthoplex and is a part of the infinite family of cross-polytopes. Cartesian coordinates Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of an 8-cube centered at the origin and edge length 2 are : (±1,±1,±1,±1,±1,±1,±1,±1) while the interior of the same consists of all points (x0, x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x7) with -1 < x [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
8-polytope
In Eight-dimensional space, eight-dimensional geometry, an eight-dimensional polytope or 8-polytope is a polytope contained by 7-polytope facets. Each 6-polytope Ridge (geometry), ridge being shared by exactly two 7-polytope Facet (mathematics), facets. A uniform 8-polytope is one which is vertex-transitive, and constructed from uniform 7-polytope facets. Regular 8-polytopes Regular 8-polytopes can be represented by the Schläfli symbol , with v 7-polytope Facet (mathematics), facets around each Peak (geometry), peak. There are exactly three such List of regular polytopes#Convex 4, convex regular 8-polytopes: # - 8-simplex # - 8-cube # - 8-orthoplex There are no nonconvex regular 8-polytopes. Characteristics The topology of any given 8-polytope is defined by its Betti numbers and torsion coefficient (topology), torsion coefficients.Richeson, D.; ''Euler's Gem: The Polyhedron Formula and the Birth of Topoplogy'', Princeton, 2008.
