Rectified 8-simplex
In eight-dimensional geometry, a rectified 8-simplex is a convex uniform 8-polytope, being a Rectification (geometry), rectification of the regular 8-simplex. There are unique 3 degrees of rectifications in regular 8-polytopes. Vertices of the rectified 8-simplex are located at the edge-centers of the 8-simplex. Vertices of the birectified 8-simplex are located in the triangular face centers of the 8-simplex. Vertices of the trirectified 8-simplex are located in the tetrahedron, tetrahedral cell centers of the 8-simplex. Rectified 8-simplex Emanuel Lodewijk Elte, E. L. Elte identified it in 1912 as a semiregular polytope, labeling it as S. It is also called 06,1 for its branching Coxeter-Dynkin diagram, shown as . Coordinates The Cartesian coordinates of the vertices of the ''rectified 8-simplex'' can be most simply positioned in 9-space as permutations of (0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1). This construction is based on Facet (geometry), facets of the rectified 9-orthoplex. Images ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Coxeter Group
In mathematics, a Coxeter group, named after H. S. M. Coxeter, is an abstract group that admits a formal description in terms of reflections (or kaleidoscopic mirrors). Indeed, the finite Coxeter groups are precisely the finite Euclidean reflection groups; the symmetry groups of regular polyhedra are an example. However, not all Coxeter groups are finite, and not all can be described in terms of symmetries and Euclidean reflections. Coxeter groups were introduced in 1934 as abstractions of reflection groups , and finite Coxeter groups were classified in 1935 . Coxeter groups find applications in many areas of mathematics. Examples of finite Coxeter groups include the symmetry groups of regular polytopes, and the Weyl groups of simple Lie algebras. Examples of infinite Coxeter groups include the triangle groups corresponding to regular tessellations of the Euclidean plane and the hyperbolic plane, and the Weyl groups of infinite-dimensional Kac–Moody algebras.

Harold Scott MacDonald Coxeter
Harold Scott MacDonald "Donald" Coxeter, (9 February 1907 – 31 March 2003) was a British and later also Canadian geometer. He is regarded as one of the greatest geometers of the 20th century. Biography Coxeter was born in Kensington to Harold Samuel Coxeter and Lucy (). His father had taken over the family business of Coxeter & Son, manufacturers of surgical instruments and compressed gases (including a mechanism for anaesthetising surgical patients with nitrous oxide), but was able to retire early and focus on sculpting and baritone singing; Lucy Coxeter was a portrait and landscape painter who had attended the Royal Academy of Arts. A maternal cousin was the architect Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. In his youth, Coxeter composed music and was an accomplished pianist at the age of 10. Roberts, Siobhan, ''King of Infinite Space: Donald Coxeter, The Man Who Saved Geometry'', Walker & Company, 2006, He felt that mathematics and music were intimately related, outlining his i ...

2 61 Honeycomb
In geometry, an E9 honeycomb is a tessellation of uniform polytopes in hyperbolic 9-dimensional space. _9, also (E10) is a paracompact hyperbolic group, so either facets or vertex figures will not be bounded. E10 is last of the series of Coxeter groups with a bifurcated Coxeter-Dynkin diagram of lengths 6,2,1. There are 1023 unique E10 honeycombs by all combinations of its Coxeter-Dynkin diagram. There are no regular honeycombs in the family since its Coxeter diagram is a nonlinear graph, but there are three simplest ones, with a single ring at the end of its 3 branches: 621, 261, 162. 621 honeycomb The 621 honeycomb is constructed from alternating 9-simplex and 9-orthoplex facets within the symmetry of the E10 Coxeter group. This honeycomb is highly regular in the sense that its symmetry group (the affine E9 Weyl group) acts transitively on the ''k''-faces for ''k'' ≤ 7. All of the ''k''-faces for ''k'' ≤ 8 are simplices. This honeycomb is last in the series of k21 p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
9-demicube
In geometry, a demienneract or 9-demicube is a uniform 9-polytope, constructed from the 9-cube, with alternated vertices removed. It is part of a dimensionally infinite family of uniform polytopes called demihypercubes. E. L. Elte identified it in 1912 as a semiregular polytope, labeling it as HM9 for a 9-dimensional ''half measure'' polytope. Coxeter named this polytope as 161 from its Coxeter diagram, with a ring on one of the 1-length branches, and Schläfli symbol \left\ or . Cartesian coordinates Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of a demienneract centered at the origin are alternate halves of the enneract: : (±1,±1,±1,±1,±1,±1,±1,±1,±1) with an odd number of plus signs.

Vertex Figure
In geometry, a vertex figure, broadly speaking, is the figure exposed when a corner of a polyhedron or polytope is sliced off. Definitions Take some corner or Vertex (geometry), vertex of a polyhedron. Mark a point somewhere along each connected edge. Draw lines across the connected faces, joining adjacent points around the face. When done, these lines form a complete circuit, i.e. a polygon, around the vertex. This polygon is the vertex figure. More precise formal definitions can vary quite widely, according to circumstance. For example Coxeter (e.g. 1948, 1954) varies his definition as convenient for the current area of discussion. Most of the following definitions of a vertex figure apply equally well to infinite tessellation, tilings or, by extension, to Honeycomb (geometry), space-filling tessellation with polytope Cell (geometry), cells and other higher-dimensional polytopes. As a flat slice Make a slice through the corner of the polyhedron, cutting through all the edges ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Facet (geometry)
In geometry, a facet is a feature of a polyhedron, polytope, or related geometric structure, generally of dimension one less than the structure itself. More specifically: * In three-dimensional geometry, a facet of a polyhedron is any polygon whose corners are vertices of the polyhedron, and is not a ''face''. To ''facet'' a polyhedron is to find and join such facets to form the faces of a new polyhedron; this is the reciprocal process to '' stellation'' and may also be applied to higher-dimensional polytopes. * In polyhedral combinatorics and in the general theory of polytopes, a facet (or hyperface) of a polytope of dimension ''n'' is a face that has dimension ''n'' − 1. Facets may also be called (''n'' − 1)-faces. In three-dimensional geometry, they are often called "faces" without qualification. * A facet of a simplicial complex is a maximal simplex, that is a simplex that is not a face of another simplex of the complex..
