Concept
5-demicube
Summary
In five-dimensional geometry, a demipenteract or 5-demicube is a semiregular 5-polytope, constructed from a 5-hypercube (penteract) with alternated vertices removed.
It was discovered by Thorold Gosset. Since it was the only semiregular 5-polytope (made of more than one type of regular facets), he called it a 5-ic semi-regular. E. L. Elte identified it in 1912 as a semiregular polytope, labeling it as HM5 for a 5-dimensional half measure polytope.
Coxeter named this polytope as 121 from its Coxeter diagram, which has branches of length 2, 1 and 1 with a ringed node on one of the short branches, and Schläfli symbol or {3,32,1}.
It exists in the k21 polytope family as 121 with the Gosset polytopes: 221, 321, and 421.
The graph formed by the vertices and edges of the demipenteract is sometimes called the Clebsch graph, though that name sometimes refers to the folded cube graph of order five instead.
Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of a demipenteract centered at the origin and edge length 2 are alternate halves of the penteract:
(±1,±1,±1,±1,±1)
with an odd number of plus signs.
This configuration matrix represents the 5-demicube. The rows and columns correspond to vertices, edges, faces, cells and 4-faces. The diagonal numbers say how many of each element occur in the whole 5-demicube. The nondiagonal numbers say how many of the column's element occur in or at the row's element.
The diagonal f-vector numbers are derived through the Wythoff construction, dividing the full group order of a subgroup order by removing one mirror at a time.
= The number of elements (diagonal values) can be computed by the symmetry order D5 divided by the symmetry order of the subgroup with selected mirrors removed.
It is a part of a dimensional family of uniform polytopes called demihypercubes for being alternation of the hypercube family.
There are 23 Uniform 5-polytopes (uniform 5-polytopes) that can be constructed from the D5 symmetry of the demipenteract, 8 of which are unique to this family, and 15 are shared within the penteractic family.
