Uniform 1 k2 polytope

Uniform 1 k2 polytope

In geometry, 1k2 polytope or {31,k,2} is a uniform polytope in n-dimensions (n = k+4) constructed from the En Coxeter group. The family was named by Coxeter as 1k2 by its bifurcating Coxeter-Dynkin diagram, with a single ring on the end of the 1-node sequence.

The family starts uniquely as 6-polytopes, but can be extended backwards to include the 5-demicube (demipenteract) in 5-dimensions, and the 4-simplex (5-cell) in 4-dimensions.

Each polytope is constructed from 1k-1,2 and (n-1)-demicube facets. Each has a vertex figure of a "{31,n-2,2}" polytope is a birectified n-simplex, "t2{3n}".

The sequence ends with k=5 (n=9), as an infinite tessellation of 8-space.

The complete family of 1k2 polytope polytopes are:
# 5-cell: 102, (5 tetrahedral cells)
# Demipenteract: 112, (16 5-cell, and 10 16-cell facets)
# Gosset 1 22 polytope: 122, (54 demipenteract facets)
# Gosset 1 32 polytope: 132, (56 122 and 126 demihexeract facets)
# Gosset 1 42 polytope: 142, (240 132 and 2160 demihepteract facets)
# Gosset 1_52 lattice: 152, tessellates Euclidean 8-space (∞ 142 and ∞ demiocteract facets)
