Runcinated tesseractsIn four-dimensional geometry, a runcinated tesseract (or runcinated 16-cell) is a convex uniform 4-polytope, being a runcination (a 3rd order truncation) of the regular tesseract. There are 4 variations of runcinations of the tesseract including with permutations truncations and cantellations. The runcinated tesseract or (small) disprismatotesseractihexadecachoron has 16 tetrahedra, 32 cubes, and 32 triangular prisms. Each vertex is shared by 4 cubes, 3 triangular prisms and one tetrahedron.
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.
Cantellated tesseractIn four-dimensional geometry, a cantellated tesseract is a convex uniform 4-polytope, being a cantellation (a 2nd order truncation) of the regular tesseract. There are four degrees of cantellations of the tesseract including with permutations truncations. Two are also derived from the 24-cell family. The cantellated tesseract, bicantellated 16-cell, or small rhombated tesseract is a convex uniform 4-polytope or 4-dimensional polytope bounded by 56 cells: 8 small rhombicuboctahedra, 16 octahedra, and 32 triangular prisms.
Rectified tesseractIn geometry, the rectified tesseract, rectified 8-cell is a uniform 4-polytope (4-dimensional polytope) bounded by 24 cells: 8 cuboctahedra, and 16 tetrahedra. It has half the vertices of a runcinated tesseract, with its construction, called a runcic tesseract. It has two uniform constructions, as a rectified 8-cell r{4,3,3} and a cantellated demitesseract, rr{3,31,1}, the second alternating with two types of tetrahedral cells. E. L. Elte identified it in 1912 as a semiregular polytope, labeling it as tC8.
Compound of tesseract and 16-cellIn 4-dimensional geometry, the tesseract 16-cell compound is a polytope compound composed of a regular tesseract and its dual, the regular 16-cell. Its convex hull is the regular 24-cell, which is self-dual. A compound polytope is a figure that is composed of several polytopes sharing a common center. The outer vertices of a compound can be connected to form a convex polytope called its convex hull. The compound is a facetting of the convex hull. In 4-polytope compounds constructed as dual pairs, cells and vertices swap positions and faces and edges swap positions.
4-polytope uniformethumb|upright=1.5|alt=Représentation du 120-cellules rectifié selon son diagramme de Schlegel|Diagramme de Schlegel du 120-cellules rectifié. 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.
BitruncationIn geometry, a bitruncation is an operation on regular polytopes. It represents a truncation beyond rectification. The original edges are lost completely and the original faces remain as smaller copies of themselves. Bitruncated regular polytopes can be represented by an extended Schläfli symbol notation t_1,2{p,q,...} or 2t{p,q,...}. For regular polyhedra (i.e. regular 3-polytopes), a bitruncated form is the truncated dual. For example, a bitruncated cube is a truncated octahedron.
HexadécachoreL'hexadécachore est, en géométrie, un 4-polytope régulier convexe, c'est-à-dire un polytope à 4 dimensions à la fois régulier et convexe. Il est constitué de 16 cellules tétraédriques. L'hexadécachore est l'hyperoctaèdre de dimension 4. Son dual est le tesseract (ou hypercube). Il pave l'espace euclidien à quatre dimensions.
Demi-hypercubevignette|Les deux demi-hypercubes du cube de dimension 3 sont des tétraèdres. En géométrie, un demi-hypercube est un polytope de dimension n formé en les sommets d'un hypercube de dimension n, c'est-à-dire en ne conservant qu'un sommet sur deux. Il est également appelé polytope de demi-mesure. À partir d'un hypercube donné, on peut obtenir deux demi-hypercubes distincts, en fonction des sommets que l'on élimine et de ceux que l'on garde (il y a deux choix possibles).
TesseractEn géométrie, le tesseract, aussi appelé 8-cellules ou octachore, est l'analogue du cube (tri-dimensionnel), où le mouvement le long de la quatrième dimension est souvent une représentation pour des transformations liées du cube à travers le temps. Le tesseract est au cube ce que le cube est au carré ; ou, plus formellement, le tesseract peut être décrit comme un 4-polytope régulier convexe dont les frontières sont constituées par huit cellules cubiques.
