Uniform polychoron

In geometry, a uniform polychoron (plural: uniform polychora) is a polychoron or 4-polytope which is vertex-transitive and whose cells are uniform polyhedra.

This article contains the complete list of 64 non-prismatic convex uniform polychora, and describes two infinite sets of convex prismatic forms.

History of discovery

Regular polytopes: (convex faces)
- 1852: Ludwig Schläfli proved in his manuscript Theorie der vielfachen Kontinuität" that there are exactly 6 regular polytopes in 4 dimensions and only 3 in 5 or more dimensions.
Regular star-polychora (star polyhedron cells and/or vertex figures)
- 1852: Ludwig Schläfli also found 4 of the 10 regular star polychora, discounting 6 with cells or vertex figures {5/2,5} and {5,5/2}.
- 1883: Edmund Hess completed the list of 10 of the nonconvex regular polychora, in his book (in German) Einleitung in die Lehre von der Kugelteilung mit besonderer Berücksichtigung ihrer Anwendung auf die Theorie der Gleichflächigen und der gleicheckigen Polyeder [2].
Convex semiregular polytopes: (Various definitions before Coxeter's uniform category)
- 1900: Thorold Gosset enumerated the list of nonprismatic semiregular convex polytopes with regular cells (Platonic solids) in his publication On the Regular and Semi-Regular Figures in Space of n Dimensions.^[1]
- 1910: Alicia Boole Stott, in her publication Geometrical deduction of semiregular from regular polytopes and space fillings, expanded the definition by also allowing Archimedean solid and prism cells. This construction enumerated 45 semiregular polychora.^[2]
- 1911: Pieter Hendrik Schoute published Analytic treatment of the polytopes regularly derived from the regular polytopes, followed Boole-Stott's notations, enumerating the convex uniform polytopes by symmetry based on 5-cell, 8-cell/16-cell, and 24-cell.
- 1912: E. L. Elte independently expanded on Gosset's list with the publication The Semiregular Polytopes of the Hyperspaces, polytopes with one or two types of semiregular facets.^[3]
Convex uniform polytopes:
- 1940: The search was expanded systematically by H.S.M. Coxeter in his publication Regular and Semi-Regular Polytopes.
- Convex uniform polychora:
  - 1965: The complete list of convex forms was finally done by John Horton Conway and Michael Guy, in their publication Four-Dimensional Archimedean Polytopes, established by computer analysis, adding only one non-Wythoffian convex polychoron, the grand antiprism.
  - 1966 N.W. Johnson completes his Ph.D. dissertation The Theory of Uniform Polytopes and Honeycombs under advisor Coxeter, completes the basic theory of uniform polytopes for dimensions 4 and higher
  - 1997: A complete enumeration of the names and elements of the convex uniform polychora is given online by George Olshevsky. ^[4]
  - 2004: A proof that the Conway-Guy set is complete was published by Marco Möller in his dissertation, Vierdimensionale Archimedische Polytope.^[5]
Nonregular uniform star polychora: (similar to the nonconvex uniform polyhedra)
- Ongoing: Thousands of nonconvex uniform polychora are known, but mostly unpublished. The list is presumed not to be complete, and there is no estimate of how long the complete list will be. Participating researchers include Jonathan Bowers, George Olshevsky and Norman Johnson.

Regular polychora

The uniform polychora include two special subsets, which satisfy additional requirements:

The 16 regular polychora, with the property that all cells, faces, edges, and vertices are congruent:
- 6 convex regular 4-polytopes;
- 10 Schläfli-Hess polychora.

Convex uniform polychora

There are 64 convex uniform polychora, including the 6 regular convex polychora, and excluding the infinite sets of the duoprisms and the antiprismatic hyperprisms.

5 are polyhedral prisms based on the Platonic solids (1 overlap with regular since a cubic hyperprism is a tesseract)
13 are polyhedral prisms based on the Archimedean solids
9 are in the self-dual regular A₄ [3,3,3] group (5-cell) family.
9 are in the self-dual regular F₄ [3,4,3] group (24-cell) family. (Excluding snub 24-cell)
15 are in the regular B₄ [3,3,4] group (tesseract/16-cell) family (3 overlap with 24-cell family)
15 are in the regular H₄ [3,3,5] group (120-cell/600-cell) family.
1 special snub form in the [3,4,3] group (24-cell) family.
1 special non-Wythoffian polychoron, the grand antiprism.
TOTAL: 68 − 4 = 64

These 64 uniform polychora are indexed below by George Olshevsky. Repeated symmetry forms are indexed in brackets.

In addition to the 64 above, there are 2 infinite prismatic sets that generate all of the remaining convex forms:

Set of uniform antiprismatic prisms - s{p,2}x{} - Polyhedral prisms of two antiprisms.
Set of uniform duoprisms - {p}x{q} - A product of two polygons.

The A₄ family

The 5-cell has diploid pentachoric [3,3,3] symmetry, of order 120, isomorphic to the permutations of five elements, because all pairs of vertices are related in the same way. The three forms marked with an asterisk,*, have the higher extended pentachoric symmetry, of order 240, [[3,3,3]] because the element corresponding to any element of the underlying 5-cell can be exchanged with one of those corresponding to an element of its dual.

Facets (cells) are given, grouped in their Coxeter-Dynkin locations by removing specified nodes.

Coordinates

The coordinates of uniform 4-polytopes with pentachoric symmetry can be generated as permutations of simple integers in 5-space, all in hyperplanes with normal vector (1,1,1,1,1). The A₄ Coxeter group is palindromic, so repeated polytopes exist in pairs of dual configurations. There are 3 symmetric positions, and 6 pairs making the total 15 permutations of one or more rings. All 15 are listed here in order of binary arithmetic for clarity of the coordinate generation from the rings in each corresponding Coxeter-Dynkin diagram.

The number of vertices can be deduced here from the permutations of the number of coordinates, peaking at 5 factorial for the omnitruncated form with 5 unique coordinate values.

(*) Just as rectifying the tetrahedron produces the octahedron, rectifying the 16-cell produces the 24-cell, the regular member of the following family.

The snub 24-cell is repeat to this family for completeness. It is an alternation of the cantitruncated 16-cell or truncated 24-cell, with the half symmetry group [(3,3)⁺,4]. The truncated octahedral cells become icosahedra. The cube becomes a tetrahedron, and 96 new tetrahedra are created in the gaps from the removed vertices.

Graphs

The pictures are drawn as Schlegel diagram perspective projections, centered on the cell at pos. 3, with a consistent orientation, and the 16 cells at position 0 are shown solid, alternately colored.

The F₄ family

This family has diploid icositetrachoric symmetry, of order 24*48=1152: the 48 symmetries of the octahedron for each of the 24 cells.

(*) Like the 5-cell, the 24-cell is self-dual, and so the three asterisked forms have twice as many symmetries, bringing their total to 2304 (the extended icositetrachoric group [[3,4,3]]).

(†) The snub 24-cell here, despite its common name, is not analogous to the snub cube; rather, is derived by an alternation of the truncated 24-cell. Its symmetry number is only 576, (the ionic diminished icositetrachoric group, [3⁺,4,3]).

Active rings in the first and second nodes generate points in the first column. Active rings in the third and fourth nodes generate the points in the second column. The sum of each of these points are then permutated by coordinate positions, and sign combinations. This generates all vertex coordinates. Edge lengths are 2.

The only exception is the snub 24-cell, which is generated by half of the coordinate permutations, only an even number of coordinate swaps. φ=(√5+1)/2.

The H₄ family

This family has diploid hexacosichoric symmetry, of order 120*120=24*600=14400: 120 for each of the 120 dodecahedra, or 24 for each of the 600 tetrahedra.

The D₄ family

This demitesseract family introduces no new uniform polychora, but it is worthy to repeat these alternative constructions.

This family has order 12*16=192: 4!/2=12 permutations of the four axes, half as alternated, 2⁴=16 for reflection in each axis.

Here again the snub 24-cell, with the symmetry group [3^1,1,1]⁺ this time, represents an alternated truncation of the truncated 24-cell creating 96 new tetrahedra at the position of the deleted vertices. In contrast to its appearance within former groups as partly snubbed polychoron, only within this symmetry group it has the full analogy to the Kepler snubs, i.e. the snub cube and the snub dodecahedron.

Coordinates

The base point can generate the coordinates of the polytope by taking all coordinate permutations and sign combinations. The edges' length will be √2. Some polytopes have two possible generator points. Points are prefixed by Even to imply only an even count of sign permutations should be included.

The grand antiprism

There is one non-Wythoffian uniform convex polychoron, known as the grand antiprism, consisting of 20 pentagonal antiprisms forming two perpendicular rings joined by 300 tetrahedra. It is loosely analogous to the three-dimensional antiprisms, which consist of two parallel polygons joined by a band of triangles. Unlike them, however, the grand antiprism is not a member of an infinite family of uniform polytopes.

Its symmetry number is 400 (the ionic diminished Coxeter group).

Prismatic uniform polychora

A prismatic polytope is a Cartesian product of two polytopes of lower dimension; familiar examples are the 3-dimensional prisms, which are products of a polygon and a line segment. The prismatic uniform polychora consist of two infinite families:

Polyhedral prisms: products of a line segment and a uniform polyhedron. This family is infinite because it includes prisms built on 3-dimensional prisms and antiprisms.
Duoprisms: products of two polygons.

Convex polyhedral prisms

The most obvious family of prismatic polychora is the polyhedral prisms, i.e. products of a polyhedron with a line segment. The cells of such a polychoron are two identical uniform polyhedra lying in parallel hyperplanes (the base cells) and a layer of prisms joining them (the lateral cells). This family includes prisms for the 75 nonprismatic uniform polyhedra (of which 18 are convex; one of these, the cube-prism, is listed above as the tesseract).

There are 18 convex polyhedral prisms created from 5 Platonic solids and 13 Archimedean solids as well as for the infinite families of three-dimensional prisms and antiprisms. The symmetry number of a polyhedral prism is twice that of the base polyhedron.

Duoprisms: [p] × [q]

The second is the infinite family of uniform duoprisms, products of two regular polygons.

Their Coxeter-Dynkin diagram is of the form

This family overlaps with the first: when one of the two "factor" polygons is a square, the product is equivalent to a hyperprism whose base is a three-dimensional prism. The symmetry number of a duoprism whose factors are a p-gon and a q-gon (a "p,q-duoprism") is 4pq if p≠q; if the factors are both p-gons, the symmetry number is 8p². The tesseract can also be considered a 4,4-duoprism.

The elements of a p,q-duoprism (p ≥ 3, q ≥ 3) are:

Cells: p q-gonal prisms, q p-gonal prisms
Faces: pq squares, p q-gons, q p-gons
Edges: 2pq
Vertices: pq

There is no uniform analogue in four dimensions to the infinite family of three-dimensional antiprisms.

Infinite set of p-q duoprism - - p q-gonal prisms, q p-gonal prisms:

Name	Coxeter graph	Cells
3-3 duoprism		6 triangular prisms
3-4 duoprism		3 cubes, 4 triangular prisms

Polygonal prismatic prisms: [p] × [ ] × [ ]

The infinte set of uniform prismatic prisms overlaps with the 4-p duoprisms: (p≥3) - - p cubes and 4 p-gonal prisms - (All are the same as 4-p duoprism)

Name	Coxeter graph	Cells
Triangular prismatic prism		3 cubes and 4 triangular prisms (same as 3-4 duoprism)
Square prismatic prism		4 cubes and 4 cubes (same as 4-4 duoprism and same as a tesseract)

The infinite sets of uniform antiprismatic prisms are constructed from two parallel uniform antiprisms): (p≥3) - - 2 p-gonal antiprisms, connected by 2 p-gonal prisms and 2p triangular prisms.

Name	Coxeter graph	Cells	Image
Triangular antiprismatic prism		2 octahedras connected by 8 triangular prisms (same as the octahedral prism)
Square antiprismatic prism		2 square antiprisms connected by 2 cubes and 8 triangular prisms
Pentagonal antiprismatic prism		2 pentagonal antiprisms connected by 2 pentagonal prisms and 10 triangular prisms

Octagonal antiprismatic prism		2 octagonal antiprisms connected by 2 octagonal prisms and 16 triangular prisms

A p-gonal antiprismatic prism has 4p triangle, 4p square and 4 p-gon faces. It has 10p edges, and 4p vertices.

Geometric derivations for 46 nonprismatic Wythoffian uniform polychora

The 46 Wythoffian polychora include the six convex regular polychora. The other forty can be derived from the regular polychora by geometric operations which preserve most or all of their symmetries, and therefore may be classified by the symmetry groups that they have in common.

The geometric operations that derive the 40 uniform polychora from the regular polychora are truncating operations. A polychoron may be truncated at the vertices, edges or faces, leading to addition of cells corresponding to those elements, as shown in the columns of the tables below.

The Coxeter-Dynkin diagram shows the four mirrors of the Wythoffian kaleidoscope as nodes, and the edges between the nodes are labeled by an integer showing the angle between the mirrors (π/n radians or 180/n degrees). Circled nodes show which mirrors are active for each form; a mirror is active with respect to a vertex that does not lie on it.

Operation	Schläfli symbol	Description
Parent	t₀{p,q,r}	Original regular form {p,q,r}
Rectification	t₁{p,q,r}	Truncation operation applied until the original edges are degenerated into points.
Birectification	t₂{p,q,r}	Face are fully truncated to points. Same as rectified dual.
Trirectification (dual)	t₃{p,q,r}	Cells are truncated to points. Regular dual {r,q,p}
Truncation	t_0,1{p,q,r}	Each vertex is cut off so that the middle of each original edge remains. Where the vertex was, there appears a new cell, the parent's vertex figure. Each original cell is likewise truncated.
Bitruncation	t_1,2{p,q,r}	A truncation between a rectified form and the dual rectified form.
Tritruncation	t_2,3{p,q,r}	Truncated dual {r,q,p}.
Cantellation	t_0,2{p,q,r}	A truncation applied to edges and vertices and defines a progression between the regular and dual rectified form.
Bicantellation	t_1,3{p,q,r}	Cantellated dual {r,q,p}.
Runcination (or expansion)	t_0,3{p,q,r}	A truncation applied to the cells, faces and edges; defines a progression between a regular form and the dual.
Cantitruncation	t_0,1,2{p,q,r}	Both the cantellation and truncation operations applied together.
Bicantitruncation	t_1,2,3{p,q,r}	Cantitruncated dual {r,q,p}.
Runcitruncation	t_0,1,3{p,q,r}	Both the runcination and truncation operations applied together.
Runcicantellation	t_0,1,3{p,q,r}	Runcitruncated dual {r,q,p}.
Omnitruncation (or more specifically runcicantitruncation)	t_0,1,2,3{p,q,r}	Application of all three operators.
Snub	s{p,q,r}	An alternation of an omnitruncated form. (Rings are replaced by holes.)

See also convex uniform honeycombs, some of which illustrate these operations as applied to the regular cubic honeycomb.

If two polytopes are duals of each other (such as the tesseract and 16-cell, or the 120-cell and 600-cell), then bitruncating, runcinating or omnitruncating either produces the same figure as the same operation to the other. Thus where only the participle appears in the table it should be understood to apply to either parent.
