1 32 polytopeDISPLAYTITLE:1 32 polytope In 7-dimensional geometry, 132 is a uniform polytope, constructed from the E7 group. Its Coxeter symbol is 132, describing its bifurcating Coxeter-Dynkin diagram, with a single ring on the end of one of the 1-node sequences. The rectified 132 is constructed by points at the mid-edges of the 132. These polytopes are part of a family of 127 (27-1) convex uniform polytopes in 7-dimensions, made of uniform polytope facets and vertex figures, defined by all permutations of rings in this Coxeter-Dynkin diagram: .
1 33 honeycombDISPLAYTITLE:1 33 honeycomb In 7-dimensional geometry, 133 is a uniform honeycomb, also given by Schläfli symbol {3,33,3}, and is composed of [[1 32 polytope|132]] facets. It is created by a Wythoff construction upon a set of 8 hyperplane mirrors in 7-dimensional space. The facet information can be extracted from its Coxeter-Dynkin diagram. Removing a node on the end of one of the 3-length branch leaves the 132, its only facet type. The vertex figure is determined by removing the ringed node and ringing the neighboring node.
Rectified 5-cellIn four-dimensional geometry, the rectified 5-cell is a uniform 4-polytope composed of 5 regular tetrahedral and 5 regular octahedral cells. Each edge has one tetrahedron and two octahedra. Each vertex has two tetrahedra and three octahedra. In total it has 30 triangle faces, 30 edges, and 10 vertices. Each vertex is surrounded by 3 octahedra and 2 tetrahedra; the vertex figure is a triangular prism. Topologically, under its highest symmetry, [3,3,3], there is only one geometrical form, containing 5 regular tetrahedra and 5 rectified tetrahedra (which is geometrically the same as a regular octahedron).
Groupe de CoxeterUn groupe de Coxeter est un groupe engendré par des réflexions sur un espace. Les groupes de Coxeter se retrouvent dans de nombreux domaines des mathématiques et de la géométrie. En particulier, les groupes diédraux, ou les groupes d'isométries de polyèdres réguliers, sont des groupes de Coxeter. Les groupes de Weyl sont d'autres exemples de groupes de Coxeter. Ces groupes sont nommés d'après le mathématicien H.S.M. Coxeter. Un groupe de Coxeter est un groupe W ayant une présentation du type: où est à valeurs dans , est symétrique () et vérifie , si .
Uniform polytopeIn geometry, a uniform polytope of dimension three or higher is a vertex-transitive polytope bounded by uniform facets. The uniform polytopes in two dimensions are the regular polygons (the definition is different in 2 dimensions to exclude vertex-transitive even-sided polygons that alternate two different lengths of edges). This is a generalization of the older category of semiregular polytopes, but also includes the regular polytopes. Further, star regular faces and vertex figures (star polygons) are allowed, which greatly expand the possible solutions.
PentachoreEn géométrie euclidienne de dimension quatre, le pentachore, ou 5-cellules, aussi appelé un pentatope ou 4-simplexe, est le polychore régulier convexe le plus simple. C'est la généralisation d'un triangle du plan ou d'un tétraèdre de l'espace. Le pentachore est constitué de 5 cellules, toutes des tétraèdres. C'est un polytope auto-dual. Sa figure de sommet est un tétraèdre. Son intersection maximale avec l'espace tridimensionnel est le prisme triangulaire. Le symbole de Schläfli du pentachore est {3,3,3}.
