Add article description


In four-dimensional geometry, a cantellated 5-cell is a convex uniform 4-polytope, being a cantellation (a 2nd order truncation, up to edge-planing) of the regular 5-cell.

The cantellated 5-cell or small rhombated pentachoron is a uniform 4-polytope. It has 30 vertices, 90 edges, 80 faces, and 20 cells. The cells are 5 cuboctahedra, 5 octahedra, and 10 triangular prisms. Each vertex is surrounded by 2 cuboctahedra, 2 triangular prisms, and 1 octahedron; the vertex figure is a nonuniform triangular prism.

Alternate names

  • Cantellated 4-simplex
  • (small) prismatodispentachoron
  • Rectified dispentachoron
  • Small rhombated pentachoron (Acronym: Srip) (Jonathan Bowers)

Configuration

Seen in a configuration matrix, all incidence counts between elements are shown. The diagonal f-vector numbers are derived through the Wythoff construction, dividing the full group order of a subgroup order by removing one mirror at a time.[1]

The vertices of the cantellated 5-cell can be most simply positioned in 5-space as permutations of:

(0,0,1,1,2)

This construction is from the positive orthant facet of the cantellated 5-orthoplex.

The convex hull of two cantellated 5-cells in opposite positions is a nonuniform polychoron composed of 100 cells: three kinds of 70 octahedra (10 rectified tetrahedra, 20 triangular antiprisms, 40 triangular antipodiums), 30 tetrahedra (as tetragonal disphenoids), and 60 vertices. Its vertex figure is a shape topologically equivalent to a cube with a triangular prism attached to one of its square faces.

The cantitruncated 5-cell or great rhombated pentachoron is a uniform 4-polytope. It is composed of 60 vertices, 120 edges, 80 faces, and 20 cells. The cells are: 5 truncated octahedra, 10 triangular prisms, and 5 truncated tetrahedra. Each vertex is surrounded by 2 truncated octahedra, one triangular prism, and one truncated tetrahedron.

These vertices can be more simply constructed on a hyperplane in 5-space, as the permutations of:

(0,0,1,2,3)

This construction is from the positive orthant facet of the cantitruncated 5-orthoplex.

A double symmetry construction can be made by placing truncated tetrahedra on the truncated octahedra, resulting in a nonuniform polychoron with 10 truncated tetrahedra, 20 hexagonal prisms (as ditrigonal trapezoprisms), two kinds of 80 triangular prisms (20 with D3h symmetry and 60 C2v-symmetric wedges), and 30 tetrahedra (as tetragonal disphenoids). Its vertex figure is topologically equivalent to the octahedron.

These polytopes are art of a set of 9 Uniform 4-polytopes constructed from the [3,3,3] Coxeter group.
