A8 polytope

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Orthographic projections
A8 Coxeter plane

8-simplex

In 8-dimensional geometry, there are 135 uniform polytopes with A8 symmetry. There is one self-dual regular form, the 8-simplex with 9 vertices.

Each can be visualized as symmetric orthographic projections in Coxeter planes of the A8 Coxeter group, and other subgroups.

Graphs

[edit]

Symmetric orthographic projections of these 135 polytopes can be made in the A8, A7, A6, A5, A4, A3, A2 Coxeter planes. Ak has [k+1] symmetry.

These 135 polytopes are each shown in these 7 symmetry planes, with vertices and edges drawn, and vertices colored by the number of overlapping vertices in each projective position.
