1 22 polytope
Summary
DISPLAYTITLE:1 22 polytope
In 6-dimensional geometry, the 122 polytope is a uniform polytope, constructed from the E6 group. It was first published in E. L. Elte's 1912 listing of semiregular polytopes, named as V72 (for its 72 vertices).
Its Coxeter symbol is 122, describing its bifurcating Coxeter-Dynkin diagram, with a single ring on the end of the 1-node sequence. There are two rectifications of the 122, constructed by positions points on the elements of 122. The rectified 122 is constructed by points at the mid-edges of the 122. The birectified 122 is constructed by points at the triangle face centers of the 122.
These polytopes are from a family of 39 convex uniform polytopes in 6-dimensions, made of uniform polytope facets and vertex figures, defined by all permutations of rings in this Coxeter-Dynkin diagram: .
The 122 polytope contains 72 vertices, and 54 5-demicubic facets. It has a birectified 5-simplex vertex figure. Its 72 vertices represent the root vectors of the simple Lie group E6.
Pentacontatetra-peton (Acronym Mo) - 54-facetted polypeton (Jonathan Bowers)
It is created by a Wythoff construction upon a set of 6 hyperplane mirrors in 6-dimensional space.
The facet information can be extracted from its Coxeter-Dynkin diagram, .
Removing the node on either of 2-length branches leaves the 5-demicube, 131, .
The vertex figure is determined by removing the ringed node and ringing the neighboring node. This makes the birectified 5-simplex, 022, .
Seen in a configuration matrix, the element counts can be derived by mirror removal and ratios of Coxeter group orders.
The regular complex polyhedron 3{3}3{4}2, , in has a real representation as the 122 polytope in 4-dimensional space. It has 72 vertices, 216 3-edges, and 54 3{3}3 faces. Its complex reflection group is 3[3]3[4]2, order 1296. It has a half-symmetry quasiregular construction as , as a rectification of the Hessian polyhedron, .
