Orthographic projections in the B6 Coxeter plane

6-cube

6-orthoplex

6-demicube

In 6-dimensional geometry, there are 64 uniform polytopes with B6 symmetry. There are two regular forms, the 6-orthoplex, and 6-cube with 12 and 64 vertices respectively. The 6-demicube is added with half the symmetry.

They can be visualized as symmetric orthographic projections in Coxeter planes of the B6 Coxeter group, and other subgroups.

Graphs

[edit]

Symmetric orthographic projections of these 64 polytopes can be made in the B6, B5, B4, B3, B2, A5, A3, Coxeter planes. Ak has [k+1] symmetry, and Bk has [2k] symmetry.

These 64 polytopes are each shown in these 8 symmetry planes, with vertices and edges drawn, and vertices colored by the number of overlapping vertices in each projective position.
