Grand hécatonicosachore étoilé
vignette|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.
Regular skew polyhedron
In geometry, the regular skew polyhedra are generalizations to the set of regular polyhedra which include the possibility of nonplanar faces or vertex figures. Coxeter looked at skew vertex figures which created new 4-dimensional regular polyhedra, and much later Branko Grünbaum looked at regular skew faces. Infinite regular skew polyhedra that span 3-space or higher are called regular skew apeirohedra. According to Coxeter, in 1926 John Flinders Petrie generalized the concept of regular skew polygons (nonplanar polygons) to regular skew polyhedra.
Density (polytope)
In geometry, the density of a star polyhedron is a generalization of the concept of winding number from two dimensions to higher dimensions, representing the number of windings of the polyhedron around the center of symmetry of the polyhedron. It can be determined by passing a ray from the center to infinity, passing only through the facets of the polytope and not through any lower dimensional features, and counting how many facets it passes through.
Icosaèdre de Jessen
L'icosaèdre de Jessen (parfois appelé icosaèdre orthogonal de Jessen) est un polyèdre non convexe ayant le même nombre de sommets, d'arêtes et de faces que l'icosaèdre régulier, et dont les faces se coupent à angle droit ; il a été étudié par en 1967. On peut choisir un repère dans lequel les 12 sommets de l'icosaèdre de Jessen ont pour coordonnées les 3 permutations circulaires de . Dans cette représentation, les 24 arêtes courtes (correspondant aux angles diédraux convexes) sont de longueur , et les 6 autres arêtes sont de longueur .
Antiprisme pentagonal
En géométrie, l'antiprisme pentagonal est le troisième solide de l'ensemble infini des antiprismes. Celui-ci peuvent être regardé comme un prisme pentagonal dont on a opéré une fraction de tour sur une des deux faces supérieure ou inférieure pour faire coïncider un sommet avec le milieu de l'arête correspondante. Ce qui a pour résultat une suite de triangles en nombre pair sur les côtés, et deux faces pentagonales supérieure et inférieure. Si toutes ses faces sont régulières, c'est un polyèdre semi-régulier.
Cubic pyramid
In 4-dimensional geometry, the cubic pyramid is bounded by one cube on the base and 6 square pyramid cells which meet at the apex. Since a cube has a circumradius divided by edge length less than one, the square pyramids can be made with regular faces by computing the appropriate height. Exactly 8 regular cubic pyramids will fit together around a vertex in four-dimensional space (the apex of each pyramid). This construction yields a tesseract with 8 cubical bounding cells, surrounding a central vertex with 16 edge-length long radii.
Grand antiprism
In geometry, the grand antiprism or pentagonal double antiprismoid is a uniform 4-polytope (4-dimensional uniform polytope) bounded by 320 cells: 20 pentagonal antiprisms, and 300 tetrahedra. It is an anomalous, non-Wythoffian uniform 4-polytope, discovered in 1965 by Conway and Guy. Topologically, under its highest symmetry, the pentagonal antiprisms have D5d symmetry and there are two types of tetrahedra, one with S4 symmetry and one with Cs symmetry.

Octahedral pyramid
In 4-dimensional geometry, the octahedral pyramid is bounded by one octahedron on the base and 8 triangular pyramid cells which meet at the apex. Since an octahedron has a circumradius divided by edge length less than one, the triangular pyramids can be made with regular faces (as regular tetrahedrons) by computing the appropriate height. Having all regular cells, it is a Blind polytope. Two copies can be augmented to make an octahedral bipyramid which is also a Blind polytope.
Complex reflection group
In mathematics, a complex reflection group is a finite group acting on a finite-dimensional complex vector space that is generated by complex reflections: non-trivial elements that fix a complex hyperplane pointwise. Complex reflection groups arise in the study of the invariant theory of polynomial rings. In the mid-20th century, they were completely classified in work of Shephard and Todd. Special cases include the symmetric group of permutations, the dihedral groups, and more generally all finite real reflection groups (the Coxeter groups or Weyl groups, including the symmetry groups of regular polyhedra).
Kinematics of the cuboctahedron
The skeleton of a cuboctahedron, considering its edges as rigid beams connected at flexible joints at its vertices but omitting its faces, does not have structural rigidity and consequently its vertices can be repositioned by folding (changing the dihedral angle) at edges and face diagonals. The cuboctahedron's kinematics is noteworthy in that its vertices can be repositioned to the vertex positions of the regular icosahedron, the Jessen's icosahedron, and the regular octahedron, in accordance with the pyritohedral symmetry of the icosahedron.
