In geometry, a uniform 5-polytope is a five-dimensional uniform polytope. By definition, a uniform 5-polytope is vertex-transitive and constructed from uniform 4-polytope facets.

The complete set of convex uniform 5-polytopes has not been determined, but most can be made as Wythoff constructions from a small set of symmetry groups. These construction operations are represented by the permutations of rings of the Coxeter diagrams.

History of discovery

  • Regular polytopes: (convex faces)
    • 1852: Ludwig Schläfli proved in his manuscript Theorie der vielfachen Kontinuität that there are exactly 3 regular polytopes in 5 or more dimensions.
  • Convex semiregular polytopes: (Various definitions before Coxeter's uniform category)
    • 1900: Thorold Gosset enumerated the list of nonprismatic semiregular convex polytopes with regular facets (convex regular polychora) in his publication On the Regular and Semi-Regular Figures in Space of n Dimensions.[1]
  • Convex uniform polytopes:
    • 1940-1988: The search was expanded systematically by H.S.M. Coxeter in his publication Regular and Semi-Regular Polytopes I, II, and III.
    • 1966: Norman W. Johnson completed his Ph.D. Dissertation under Coxeter, The Theory of Uniform Polytopes and Honeycombs, University of Toronto

Regular 5-polytopes

Regular 5-polytopes can be represented by the Schläfli symbol {p,q,r,s}, with s {p,q,r} polychoral facets around each face. There are exactly three such regular polytopes, all convex:

There are no nonconvex regular polytopes in 5 or more dimensions.

Convex uniform 5-polytopes

There are 104 known convex uniform 5-polytopes, plus a number of infinite families of duoprism prisms, and polygon-polyhedron duoprisms. All except the grand antiprism prism are based on Wythoff constructions, reflection symmetry generated with Coxeter groups.[citation needed]

Reflection families

The 5-simplex is the regular form in the A5 family. The 5-cube and 5-orthoplex are the regular forms in the B5 family. The bifurcating graph of the D6 family contains the pentacross, as well as a 5-demicube which is an alternated 5-cube.

Fundamental families[2]

# Coxeter group Coxeter diagram
1 A5 [34]
2 B5 [4,33]
3 D5 [32,1,1]

Coxeter diagram correspondences between families and higher symmetry within diagrams. Nodes of the same color in each row represent identical mirrors. Black nodes are not active in the correspondence.

Uniform prisms There are 5 finite categorical uniform prismatic families of polytopes based on the nonprismatic uniform 4-polytopes:

# Coxeter groups Coxeter diagram
1 A4 × A1 [3,3,3,2]
2 B4 × A1 [4,3,3,2]
3 F4 × A1 [3,4,3,2]
4 H4 × A1 [5,3,3,2]
5 D4 × A1 [31,1,1,2]

There is one infinite family of 5-polytopes based on prisms of the uniform duoprisms {p}×{q}×{ }:

Coxeter groups Coxeter diagram
I2(p) × I2(q) × A1 [p,2,q,2]

Uniform duoprisms

There are 3 categorical uniform duoprismatic families of polytopes based on Cartesian products of the uniform polyhedra and regular polygons: {q,r}×{p}:

# Coxeter groups Coxeter diagram
1 A3 × I2(p) [3,3,2,p]
2 B3 × I2(p) [4,3,2,p]
3. H3 × I2(p) [5,3,2,p]

Enumerating the convex uniform 5-polytopes

  • Simplex family: A5 [34]
    • 19 uniform 5-polytopes
  • Hypercube/Orthoplex family: BC5 [4,33]
    • 31 uniform 5-polytopes
  • Demihypercube D5/E5 family: [32,1,1]
    • 23 uniform 5-polytopes (8 unique)
  • Prisms and duoprisms:
    • 56 uniform 5-polytope (46 unique) constructions based on prismatic families: [3,3,3]×[ ], [4,3,3]×[ ], [5,3,3]×[ ], [31,1,1]×[ ].
    • One non-Wythoffian - The grand antiprism prism is the only known non-Wythoffian convex uniform 5-polytope, constructed from two grand antiprisms connected by polyhedral prisms.

That brings the tally to: 19+31+8+46+1=105

In addition there are:

  • Infinitely many uniform 5-polytope constructions based on duoprism prismatic families: [p]×[q]×[ ].
  • Infinitely many uniform 5-polytope constructions based on duoprismatic families: [3,3]×[p], [4,3]×[p], [5,3]×[p].

The A5 family

There are 19 forms based on all permutations of the Coxeter diagrams with one or more rings. (16+4-1 cases)

They are named by Norman Johnson from the Wythoff construction operations upon regular 5-simplex (hexateron).

The A5 family has symmetry of order 720 (6 factorial). 7 of the 19 figures, with symmetrically ringed Coxeter diagrams have doubled symmetry, order 1440.

The coordinates of uniform 5-polytopes with 5-simplex symmetry can be generated as permutations of simple integers in 6-space, all in hyperplanes with normal vector (1,1,1,1,1,1).

The B5 family

The B5 family has symmetry of order 3840 (5!×25).

This family has 25−1=31 Wythoffian uniform polytopes generated by marking one or more nodes of the Coxeter diagram.

For simplicity it is divided into two subgroups, each with 12 forms, and 7 "middle" forms which equally belong in both.

The 5-cube family of 5-polytopes are given by the convex hulls of the base points listed in the following table, with all permutations of coordinates and sign taken. Each base point generates a distinct uniform 5-polytope. All coordinates correspond with uniform 5-polytopes of edge length 2.

Notes on the Wythoff construction for the uniform 5-polytopes

Construction of the reflective 5-dimensional uniform polytopes are done through a Wythoff construction process, and represented through a Coxeter diagram, where each node represents a mirror. Nodes are ringed to imply which mirrors are active. The full set of uniform polytopes generated are based on the unique permutations of ringed nodes. Uniform 5-polytopes are named in relation to the regular polytopes in each family. Some families have two regular constructors and thus may have two ways of naming them.

Here are the primary operators available for constructing and naming the uniform 5-polytopes.

The last operation, the snub, and more generally the alternation, are the operation that can create nonreflective forms. These are drawn with "hollow rings" at the nodes.

The prismatic forms and bifurcating graphs can use the same truncation indexing notation, but require an explicit numbering system on the nodes for clarity.

Operation Extended
Schläfli symbol
Coxeter diagram Description
Parent t0{p,q,r,s} {p,q,r,s} Any regular 5-polytope
Rectified t1{p,q,r,s} r{p,q,r,s} The edges are fully truncated into single points. The 5-polytope now has the combined faces of the parent and dual.
Birectified t2{p,q,r,s} 2r{p,q,r,s} Birectification reduces faces to points, cells to their duals.
Trirectified t3{p,q,r,s} 3r{p,q,r,s} Trirectification reduces cells to points. (Dual rectification)
Quadrirectified t4{p,q,r,s} 4r{p,q,r,s} Quadrirectification reduces 4-faces to points. (Dual)
Truncated t0,1{p,q,r,s} t{p,q,r,s} Each original vertex is cut off, with a new face filling the gap. Truncation has a degree of freedom, which has one solution that creates a uniform truncated 5-polytope. The 5-polytope has its original faces doubled in sides, and contains the faces of the dual.
Cantellated t0,2{p,q,r,s} rr{p,q,r,s} In addition to vertex truncation, each original edge is beveled with new rectangular faces appearing in their place.
Runcinated t0,3{p,q,r,s} Runcination reduces cells and creates new cells at the vertices and edges.
Stericated t0,4{p,q,r,s} 2r2r{p,q,r,s} Sterication reduces facets and creates new facets (hypercells) at the vertices and edges in the gaps. (Same as expansion operation for 5-polytopes.)
Omnitruncated t0,1,2,3,4{p,q,r,s} All four operators, truncation, cantellation, runcination, and sterication are applied.
Half h{2p,3,q,r} Alternation, same as
Cantic h2{2p,3,q,r} Same as
Runcic h3{2p,3,q,r} Same as

Regular and uniform honeycombs

Coxeter diagram correspondences between families and higher symmetry within diagrams. Nodes of the same color in each row represent identical mirrors. Black nodes are not active in the correspondence.

There are five fundamental affine Coxeter groups, and 13 prismatic groups that generate regular and uniform tessellations in Euclidean 4-space.[3][4]

Fundamental groups

4 [31,1,1,1] [1+,4,3,3,4,1+] = 9 (0 new)
5 [3,4,3,3] 31 (21 new)

There are three regular honeycombs of Euclidean 4-space:

Other families that generate uniform honeycombs:

Non-Wythoffian uniform tessellations in 4-space also exist by elongation (inserting layers), and gyration (rotating layers) from these reflective forms.

Regular and uniform hyperbolic honeycombs

There are 5 compact hyperbolic Coxeter groups of rank 5, each generating uniform honeycombs in hyperbolic 4-space as permutations of rings of the Coxeter diagrams. There are also 9 paracompact hyperbolic Coxeter groups of rank 5, each generating uniform honeycombs in 4-space as permutations of rings of the Coxeter diagrams. Paracompact groups generate honeycombs with infinite facets or vertex figures.
