6-demicubeIn geometry, a 6-demicube or demihexeract is a uniform 6-polytope, constructed from a 6-cube (hexeract) with alternated vertices removed. It is part of a dimensionally infinite family of uniform polytopes called demihypercubes. E. L. Elte identified it in 1912 as a semiregular polytope, labeling it as HM6 for a 6-dimensional half measure polytope. Coxeter named this polytope as 131 from its Coxeter diagram, with a ring on one of the 1-length branches, . It can named similarly by a 3-dimensional exponential Schläfli symbol or {3,33,1}.
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.
2 31 polytopeDISPLAYTITLE:2 31 polytope In 7-dimensional geometry, 231 is a uniform polytope, constructed from the E7 group. Its Coxeter symbol is 231, describing its bifurcating Coxeter-Dynkin diagram, with a single ring on the end of the 2-node branch. The rectified 231 is constructed by points at the mid-edges of the 231. These polytopes are part of a family of 127 (or 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: .

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.

Rectified 5-simplexesIn five-dimensional geometry, a rectified 5-simplex is a convex uniform 5-polytope, being a rectification of the regular 5-simplex. There are three unique degrees of rectifications, including the zeroth, the 5-simplex itself. Vertices of the rectified 5-simplex are located at the edge-centers of the 5-simplex. Vertices of the birectified 5-simplex are located in the triangular face centers of the 5-simplex.
Gosset–Elte figuresIn geometry, the Gosset–Elte figures, named by Coxeter after Thorold Gosset and E. L. Elte, are a group of uniform polytopes which are not regular, generated by a Wythoff construction with mirrors all related by order-2 and order-3 dihedral angles. They can be seen as one-end-ringed Coxeter–Dynkin diagrams. The Coxeter symbol for these figures has the form ki,j, where each letter represents a length of order-3 branches on a Coxeter–Dynkin diagram with a single ring on the end node of a k length sequence of branches.
3 21 polytopeDISPLAYTITLE:3 21 polytope In 7-dimensional geometry, the 321 polytope is a uniform 7-polytope, constructed within the symmetry of the E7 group. It was discovered by Thorold Gosset, published in his 1900 paper. He called it an 7-ic semi-regular figure. Its Coxeter symbol is 321, describing its bifurcating Coxeter-Dynkin diagram, with a single ring on the end of one of the 3-node sequences. The rectified 321 is constructed by points at the mid-edges of the 321. The birectified 321 is constructed by points at the triangle face centers of the 321.
2 21 polytopeDISPLAYTITLE:2 21 polytope In 6-dimensional geometry, the 221 polytope is a uniform 6-polytope, constructed within the symmetry of the E6 group. It was discovered by Thorold Gosset, published in his 1900 paper. He called it an 6-ic semi-regular figure. It is also called the Schläfli polytope. Its Coxeter symbol is 221, describing its bifurcating Coxeter-Dynkin diagram, with a single ring on the end of one of the 2-node sequences. He also studied its connection with the 27 lines on the cubic surface, which are naturally in correspondence with the vertices of 221.
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 .
