Ingeometry, a 6-demicubeordemihexeract is a uniform 6-polytope, constructed from a 6-cube (hexeract) with alternated vertices removed. It is part of a dimensionally infinite family of uniform polytopes called demihypercubes.

E. L. Elte identified it in 1912 as a semiregular polytope, labeling it as HM₆ for a 6-dimensional half measure polytope.

Coxeter named this polytope as 1₃₁ from its Coxeter diagram, with a ring on one of the 1-length branches, . It can named similarly by a 3-dimensional exponential Schläfli symbol $\left\{3{\begin{array}{l}3,3,3\\3\end{array}}\right\}$ or {3,3^3,1}.

Cartesian coordinates

edit

Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of a demihexeract centered at the origin are alternate halves of the hexeract:

(±1,±1,±1,±1,±1,±1)

with an odd number of plus signs.

As a configuration

edit

This configuration matrix represents the 6-demicube. The rows and columns correspond to vertices, edges, faces, cells, 4-faces and 5-faces. The diagonal numbers say how many of each element occur in the whole 6-demicube. The nondiagonal numbers say how many of the column's element occur in or at the row's element.^[1]^[2]

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.^[3]

The 6-demicube, 1₃₁ is third in a dimensional series of uniform polytopes, expressed by Coxeter as k₃₁ series. The fifth figure is a Euclidean honeycomb, 3₃₁, and the final is a noncompact hyperbolic honeycomb, 4₃₁. Each progressive uniform polytope is constructed from the previous as its vertex figure.

It is also the second in a dimensional series of uniform polytopes and honeycombs, expressed by Coxeter as 1_3k series. The fourth figure is the Euclidean honeycomb 1₃₃ and the final is a noncompact hyperbolic honeycomb, 1₃₄.

Skew icosahedron

edit

Coxeter identified a subset of 12 vertices that form a regular skew icosahedron {3, 5} with the same symmetries as the icosahedron itself, but at different angles. He dubbed this the regular skew icosahedron.^[4]^[5]
