B8 polytope

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Orthographic projections in the B8 Coxeter plane

8-cube

8-orthoplex

8-demicube

In 8-dimensional geometry, there are 256 uniform polytopes with B8 symmetry. There are two regular forms, the 8-orthoplex and 8-cube, with 16 and 256 vertices respectively. The 8-demicube is added with half the symmetry.

They can be visualized as symmetric orthographic projections in Coxeter planes of the B8 Coxeter group, and other subgroups.

Graphs

[edit]

Symmetric orthographic projections of these 256 polytopes can be made in the B8, B7, B6, B5, B4, B3, B2, A7, A5, A3, Coxeter planes. Ak has [k+1] symmetry, and Bk has [2k] symmetry.

These 256 polytopes are each shown in these 10 symmetry planes, with vertices and edges drawn, and vertices colored by the number of overlapping vertices in each projective position.
