Cantellated 6-orthoplexes

In six-dimensional geometry, a cantellated 6-orthoplex is a convex uniform 6-polytope, being a cantellation of the regular 6-orthoplex.

There are 8 cantellation for the 6-orthoplex including truncations. Half of them are more easily constructed from the dual 6-cube

Cantellated 6-orthoplex

Alternate names

  • Cantellated hexacross
  • Small rhombated hexacontatetrapeton (acronym: srog) (Jonathan Bowers)

Construction

There are two Coxeter groups associated with the cantellated 6-orthoplex, one with the B<sub>6</sub> or [4,3,3,3,3] Coxeter group, and a lower symmetry with the D<sub>6</sub> or [3<sup>3,1,1</sup>] Coxeter group.

Coordinates

Cartesian coordinates for the 480 vertices of a cantellated 6-orthoplex, centered at the origin, are all the sign and coordinate permutations of

Bicantellated 6-orthoplex

Alternate names

  • Bicantellated hexacross, bicantellated hexacontatetrapeton

Construction

There are two Coxeter groups associated with the bicantellated 6-orthoplex, one with the B<sub>6</sub> or [4,3,3,3,3] Coxeter group, and a lower symmetry with the D<sub>6</sub> or [3<sup>3,1,1</sup>] Coxeter group.
