, a rectified 10-orthoplex is a convex uniform 10-polytope, being a rectification of the regular 10-orthoplex. There are 10 rectifications of the 10-orthoplex. Vertices of the rectified 10-orthoplex are located at the edge-centers of the 9-orthoplex. Vertices of the birectified 10-orthoplex are located in the triangular face centers of the 10-orthoplex. Vertices of the trirectified 10-orthoplex are located in the

Cartesian coordinates

Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of a rectified 10-orthoplex, centered at the origin, edge length \sqrt are all permutations of: : (±1,±1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0)


Root vectors

Its 180 vertices represent the root vectors of the
simple Lie group In mathematics, a simple Lie group is a connected non-abelian Lie group ''G'' which does not have nontrivial connected normal subgroups. The list of simple Lie groups can be used to read off the list of simple Lie algebras and Riemannian symm ...
D10. The vertices can be seen in 3 hyperplanes, with the 45 vertices rectified 9-simplices facets on opposite sides, and 90 vertices of an expanded 9-simplex passing through the center. When combined with the 20 vertices of the 9-orthoplex, these vertices represent the 200 root vectors of the simple Lie group B10.
