Semiregular polytope
In geometry, by Thorold Gosset's definition a semiregular polytope is usually taken to be a polytope that is vertex-transitive and has all its facets being regular polytopes. E.L. Elte compiled a longer list in 1912 as The Semiregular Polytopes of the Hyperspaces which included a wider definition. In three-dimensional space and below, the terms semiregular polytope and uniform polytope have identical meanings, because all uniform polygons must be regular.
Snub 24-cell
In geometry, the snub 24-cell or snub disicositetrachoron is a convex uniform 4-polytope composed of 120 regular tetrahedral and 24 icosahedral cells. Five tetrahedra and three icosahedra meet at each vertex. In total it has 480 triangular faces, 432 edges, and 96 vertices. One can build it from the 600-cell by diminishing a select subset of icosahedral pyramids and leaving only their icosahedral bases, thereby removing 480 tetrahedra and replacing them with 24 icosahedra.
Rectified 120-cell
In geometry, a rectified 120-cell is a uniform 4-polytope formed as the rectification of the regular 120-cell. E. L. Elte identified it in 1912 as a semiregular polytope, labeling it as tC120. There are four rectifications of the 120-cell, including the zeroth, the 120-cell itself. The birectified 120-cell is more easily seen as a rectified 600-cell, and the trirectified 120-cell is the same as the dual 600-cell. In geometry, the rectified 120-cell or rectified hecatonicosachoron is a convex uniform 4-polytope composed of 600 regular tetrahedra and 120 icosidodecahedra cells.
Uniform polytope
In 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.
4-polytope
En géométrie, un 4-polytope (fréquemment appelé également un polychore) est un polytope de l'espace à quatre dimensions. C'est une figure connexe, composée d'un nombre fini de polytopes de dimension inférieure : des sommets, des arêtes, des faces (qui sont des polygones), et des cellules (qui sont des polyèdres), chaque face appartenant à exactement deux cellules. Le 4-polytope le plus connu est le tesseract (ou hypercube), analogue en 4D du cube. La définition des 4-polytopes varie beaucoup selon les auteurs.
Hexacosichore
En géométrie, l'hexacosichore ou « 600-cellules » est le 4-polytope régulier convexe qui a comme symbole de Schläfli {3, 3, 5}. Il est composé de 600 cellules tétraédriques dont 20 qui se rencontrent à chaque sommet. Ensemble, ils forment triangulaires, 720 arêtes et 120 sommets. Les arêtes forment 72 décagones réguliers plans. Chaque sommet du 600-cellules est le sommet de six de ces décagones.

Un 4-polytope uniforme est, en géométrie, un 4-polytope isogonal dont les cellules sont des polyèdres uniformes. Il s'agit de l'équivalent de ces derniers en dimension 4.
Rectification (geometry)
In Euclidean geometry, rectification, also known as critical truncation or complete-truncation, is the process of truncating a polytope by marking the midpoints of all its edges, and cutting off its vertices at those points. The resulting polytope will be bounded by vertex figure facets and the rectified facets of the original polytope. A rectification operator is sometimes denoted by the letter r with a Schläfli symbol. For example, r{4,3} is the rectified cube, also called a cuboctahedron, and also represented as .
Hécatonicosachore
In geometry, the 120-cell is the convex regular 4-polytope (four-dimensional analogue of a Platonic solid) with Schläfli symbol {5,3,3}. It is also called a C120, dodecaplex (short for "dodecahedral complex"), hyperdodecahedron, polydodecahedron, hecatonicosachoron, dodecacontachoron and hecatonicosahedroid. The boundary of the 120-cell is composed of 120 dodecahedral cells with 4 meeting at each vertex. Together they form 720 pentagonal faces, 1200 edges, and 600 vertices.
Bipyramide
En géométrie, un diamant ou bipyramide, ou encore dipyramide, est un polyèdre constitué de deux pyramides symétriques dont la même base forme un polygone régulier. L'ordre du diamant est l'ordre du polygone de la base. C'est aussi l'ordre du sommet de chaque pyramide. Il existe un unique diamant dans les polyèdres réguliers: l'octaèdre. Cependant, pour chaque ordre d'un diamant, il existe un diamant dont toutes les faces sont des triangles isocèles isométriques.
