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.
4 21 polytopeDISPLAYTITLE:4 21 polytope In 8-dimensional geometry, the 421 is a semiregular uniform 8-polytope, constructed within the symmetry of the E8 group. It was discovered by Thorold Gosset, published in his 1900 paper. He called it an 8-ic semi-regular figure. Its Coxeter symbol is 421, describing its bifurcating Coxeter-Dynkin diagram, with a single ring on the end of the 4-node sequences, . The rectified 421 is constructed by points at the mid-edges of the 421. The birectified 421 is constructed by points at the triangle face centers of the 421.
3-3 duoprismIn the geometry of 4 dimensions, the 3-3 duoprism or triangular duoprism is a four-dimensional convex polytope. It can be constructed as the Cartesian product of two triangles and is the simplest of an infinite family of four-dimensional polytopes constructed as Cartesian products of two polygons, the duoprisms. It has 9 vertices, 18 edges, 15 faces (9 squares, and 6 triangles), in 6 triangular prism cells. It has Coxeter diagram , and symmetry , order 72. Its vertices and edges form a rook's graph.
Polyèdre quasi régulierUn polyèdre dont les faces sont des polygones réguliers, qui est transitif sur ses sommets, et qui est transitif sur ses arêtes, est dit quasi régulier. Un polyèdre quasi régulier peut avoir des faces de deux sortes seulement, et celles-ci doivent alterner autour de chaque sommet. Pour certains polyèdres quasi réguliers : on utilise un symbole de Schläfli vertical pour représenter le polyèdre quasi régulier combinant les faces du polyèdre régulier {p,q} et celles du dual régulier {q,p} : leur noyau commun.
1 22 polytopeDISPLAYTITLE:1 22 polytope In 6-dimensional geometry, the 122 polytope is a uniform polytope, constructed from the E6 group. It was first published in E. L. Elte's 1912 listing of semiregular polytopes, named as V72 (for its 72 vertices). Its Coxeter symbol is 122, describing its bifurcating Coxeter-Dynkin diagram, with a single ring on the end of the 1-node sequence. There are two rectifications of the 122, constructed by positions points on the elements of 122. The rectified 122 is constructed by points at the mid-edges of the 122.
Regular skew polyhedronIn 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.
Coxeter notationIn geometry, Coxeter notation (also Coxeter symbol) is a system of classifying symmetry groups, describing the angles between fundamental reflections of a Coxeter group in a bracketed notation expressing the structure of a Coxeter-Dynkin diagram, with modifiers to indicate certain subgroups. The notation is named after H. S. M. Coxeter, and has been more comprehensively defined by Norman Johnson. For Coxeter groups, defined by pure reflections, there is a direct correspondence between the bracket notation and Coxeter-Dynkin diagram.
DuopyramidIn geometry of 4 dimensions or higher, a double pyramid or duopyramid or fusil is a polytope constructed by 2 orthogonal polytopes with edges connecting all pairs of vertices between the two. The term fusil is used by Norman Johnson as a rhombic-shape. The term duopyramid was used by George Olshevsky, as the dual of a duoprism. The lowest dimensional forms are 4 dimensional and connect two polygons. A p-q duopyramid or p-q'' fusil, represented by a composite Schläfli symbol {p} + {q}, and Coxeter-Dynkin diagram .
Diagramme de Coxeter-DynkinEn géométrie, un diagramme de Coxeter-Dynkin est un graphe représentant un ensemble relationnel de miroirs (ou d'hyperplans de réflexion) dans l'espace pour une construction kaléidoscopique. En tant que graphe lui-même, le diagramme représente les groupes de Coxeter, chaque nœud du graphe représente un miroir (facette du domaine) et chaque branche du graphe représente l'ordre de l'angle diédral entre deux miroirs (sur une arête du domaine). En plus, les graphes ont des anneaux (cercles) autour des nœuds pour les miroirs actifs représentant un polytope précis.
6-cubeIn geometry, a 6-cube is a six-dimensional hypercube with 64 vertices, 192 edges, 240 square faces, 160 cubic cells, 60 tesseract 4-faces, and 12 5-cube 5-faces. It has Schläfli symbol {4,34}, being composed of 3 5-cubes around each 4-face. It can be called a hexeract, a portmanteau of tesseract (the 4-cube) with hex for six (dimensions) in Greek. It can also be called a regular dodeca-6-tope or dodecapeton, being a 6-dimensional polytope constructed from 12 regular facets.
