Skew polygonIn geometry, a skew polygon is a polygon whose vertices are not all coplanar. Skew polygons must have at least four vertices. The interior surface (or area) of such a polygon is not uniquely defined. Skew infinite polygons (apeirogons) have vertices which are not all colinear. A zig-zag skew polygon or antiprismatic polygon has vertices which alternate on two parallel planes, and thus must be even-sided. Regular skew polygons in 3 dimensions (and regular skew apeirogons in two dimensions) are always zig-zag.
Rectified 24-cellIn geometry, the rectified 24-cell or rectified icositetrachoron is a uniform 4-dimensional polytope (or uniform 4-polytope), which is bounded by 48 cells: 24 cubes, and 24 cuboctahedra. It can be obtained by rectification of the 24-cell, reducing its octahedral cells to cubes and cuboctahedra. E. L. Elte identified it in 1912 as a semiregular polytope, labeling it as tC24. It can also be considered a cantellated 16-cell with the lower symmetries B4 = [3,3,4]. B4 would lead to a bicoloring of the cuboctahedral cells into 8 and 16 each.
Tesseractic honeycombIn four-dimensional euclidean geometry, the tesseractic honeycomb is one of the three regular space-filling tessellations (or honeycombs), represented by Schläfli symbol {4,3,3,4}, and constructed by a 4-dimensional packing of tesseract facets. Its vertex figure is a 16-cell. Two tesseracts meet at each cubic cell, four meet at each square face, eight meet on each edge, and sixteen meet at each vertex. It is an analog of the square tiling, {4,4}, of the plane and the cubic honeycomb, {4,3,4}, of 3-space.
24-cell honeycombIn four-dimensional Euclidean geometry, the 24-cell honeycomb, or icositetrachoric honeycomb is a regular space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) of 4-dimensional Euclidean space by regular 24-cells. It can be represented by Schläfli symbol {3,4,3,3}. The dual tessellation by regular 16-cell honeycomb has Schläfli symbol {3,3,4,3}. Together with the tesseractic honeycomb (or 4-cubic honeycomb) these are the only regular tessellations of Euclidean 4-space. The 24-cell honeycomb can be constructed as the Voronoi tessellation of the D4 or F4 root lattice.
Quaternions de HurwitzLes quaternions de Hurwitz portent ce nom en l'honneur du mathématicien allemand Adolf Hurwitz. Soit A un anneau. On definit l'algèbre de quaternions H(A) comme l'algèbre A[H] du groupe H des quaternions. Plus explicitement, c'est le A-module libre engendré par 1, i, j et k, muni de la structure d'algèbre : 1 élément neutre pour la multiplication, et les identités : Soit , l'algèbre des quaternions sur l'anneau Z des entiers relatifs.
Grand hécatonicosachore étoilévignette|243x243px| Projection orthogonale En géométrie, le grand hécatonicosachore étoilé, ou hécatonicosachore 5,5/2,5, est un 4-polytope régulier étoilé ayant pour symbole de Schläfli {5,5/2,5}. C'est l'un des 10 polychores de Schläfli-Hess. C'est l'un des deux polytopes qui est son propre dual. Il a la même que l'hexacosichore et l'hécatonicosachore icosaédral, ainsi que la même disposition de faces que l'hécatonicosachore 5,3,5/2.

16-cell honeycombIn four-dimensional Euclidean geometry, the 16-cell honeycomb is one of the three regular space-filling tessellations (or honeycombs), represented by Schläfli symbol {3,3,4,3}, and constructed by a 4-dimensional packing of 16-cell facets, three around every face. Its dual is the 24-cell honeycomb. Its vertex figure is a 24-cell. The vertex arrangement is called the B4, D4, or F4 lattice. Hexadecachoric tetracomb/honeycomb Demitesseractic tetracomb/honeycomb Vertices can be placed at all integer coordinates (i,j,k,l), such that the sum of the coordinates is even.
Hyperoctahedral groupIn mathematics, a hyperoctahedral group is an important type of group that can be realized as the group of symmetries of a hypercube or of a cross-polytope. It was named by Alfred Young in 1930. Groups of this type are identified by a parameter n, the dimension of the hypercube. As a Coxeter group it is of type B_n = C_n, and as a Weyl group it is associated to the symplectic groups and with the orthogonal groups in odd dimensions. As a wreath product it is where S_n is the symmetric group of degree n.
Truncated tesseractIn geometry, a truncated tesseract is a uniform 4-polytope formed as the truncation of the regular tesseract. There are three truncations, including a bitruncation, and a tritruncation, which creates the truncated 16-cell. The truncated tesseract is bounded by 24 cells: 8 truncated cubes, and 16 tetrahedra. Truncated tesseract (Norman W. Johnson) Truncated tesseract (Acronym tat) (George Olshevsky, and Jonathan Bowers) The truncated tesseract may be constructed by truncating the vertices of the tesseract at of the edge length.
