List Of Regular Polytopes
This article lists the regular polytopes and regular polytope compounds in Euclidean geometry, Euclidean, spherical geometry, spherical and hyperbolic geometry, hyperbolic spaces. The Schläfli symbol describes every regular tessellation of an ''n''-sphere, Euclidean and hyperbolic spaces. A Schläfli symbol describing an ''n''-polytope equivalently describes a tessellation of an (''n'' − 1)-sphere. In addition, the symmetry of a regular polytope or tessellation is expressed as a Coxeter group, which Coxeter expressed identically to the Schläfli symbol, except delimiting by square brackets, a notation that is called Coxeter notation. Another related symbol is the Coxeter-Dynkin diagram which represents a symmetry group with no rings, and the represents regular polytope or tessellation with a ring on the first node. For example, the cube has Schläfli symbol , and with its octahedral symmetry, [4,3] or , it is represented by Coxeter diagram . The regular polytopes are ...

Hexicated 8-simplex
In eight-dimensional geometry, a hexicated 8-simplex is a uniform 8-polytope, being a hexication (6th order truncation) of the regular 8-simplex. Coordinates The Cartesian coordinates of the vertices of the ''hexicated 8-simplex'' can be most simply positioned in 9-space as permutations of (0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,2).

Runcinated 8-orthoplex
In geometry, runcination is an operation that cuts a regular polytope (or honeycomb) simultaneously along the faces, edges, and vertices, creating new facets in place of the original face, edge, and vertex centers. It is a higher order truncation operation, following cantellation, and truncation. It is represented by an extended Schläfli symbol t0,3. This operation only exists for 4-polytopes or higher. This operation is dual-symmetric for regular uniform 4-polytopes and 3-space convex uniform honeycombs. For a regular 4-polytope, the original cells remain, but become separated. The gaps at the separated faces become p-gonal prisms. The gaps between the separated edges become r-gonal prisms. The gaps between the separated vertices become cells. The vertex figure for a regular 4-polytope is an ''q''-gonal antiprism (called an ''antipodium'' if ''p'' and ''r'' are different). For regular 4-polytopes/honeycombs, this operation is also called expansion by Alicia Boole St ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
