Stericated 5-simplexes


In five-dimensional geometry, a stericated 5-simplex is a convex uniform 5-polytope with fourth-order truncations of the regular 5-simplex.
There are six unique sterications of the 5-simplex, including permutations of truncations, cantellations, and runcinations. The simplest stericated 5-simplex is also called an expanded 5-simplex, with the first and last nodes ringed, for being constructible by an expansion operation applied to the regular 5-simplex. The highest form, the steriruncicantitruncated 5-simplex is more simply called an omnitruncated 5-simplex with all of the nodes ringed.

Stericated 5-simplex

A stericated 5-simplex can be constructed by an expansion operation applied to the regular 5-simplex, and thus is also sometimes called an expanded 5-simplex. It has 30 vertices, 120 edges, 210 faces, 180 cells and 62 4-faces.

Alternate names

The maximal cross-section of the stericated hexateron with a 4-dimensional hyperplane is a runcinated 5-cell. This cross-section divides the stericated hexateron into two pentachoral hypercupolas consisting of 6 5-cells, 15 tetrahedral prisms and 10 3-3 duoprisms each.

Coordinates

The vertices of the stericated 5-simplex can be constructed on a hyperplane in 6-space as permutations of. This represents the positive orthant facet of the stericated 6-orthoplex.
A second construction in 6-space, from the center of a rectified 6-orthoplex is given by coordinate permutations of:
The Cartesian coordinates in 5-space for the normalized vertices of an origin-centered stericated hexateron are:

Root system

Its 30 vertices represent the root vectors of the simple Lie group A5. It is also the vertex figure of the 5-simplex honeycomb.

Permutohedron

The omnitruncated 5-simplex is the permutohedron of order 6. It is also a zonotope, the Minkowski sum of six line segments parallel to the six lines through the origin and the six vertices of the 5-simplex.
