Rectified 5-orthoplexes

Orthogonal projections in A5 Coxeter plane

In five-dimensional geometry, a rectified 5-orthoplex is a convex uniform 5-polytope, being a rectification of the regular 5-orthoplex.

There are 5 degrees of rectifications for any 5-polytope, the zeroth here being the 5-orthoplex itself, and the 4th and last being the 5-cube. Vertices of the rectified 5-orthoplex are located at the edge-centers of the 5-orthoplex. Vertices of the birectified 5-orthoplex are located in the triangular face centers of the 5-orthoplex.

Properties

Its 40 vertices represent the root vectors of the simple Lie group D5. The vertices can be seen in 3 hyperplanes, with the 10 vertices rectified 5-cells cells on opposite sides, and 20 vertices of a runcinated 5-cell passing through the center. When combined with the 10 vertices of the 5-orthoplex, these vertices represent the 50 root vectors of the B5 and C5 simple Lie groups.

E. L. Elte identified it in 1912 as a semiregular polytope, identifying it as Cr51 as a first rectification of a 5-dimensional cross polytope.

Alternate names

rectified pentacross
rectified triacontiditeron (32-faceted 5-polytope)

Construction

There are two Coxeter groups associated with the rectified pentacross, one with the C5 or [4,3,3,3] Coxeter group, and a lower symmetry with two copies of 16-cell facets, alternating, with the D5 or [32,1,1] Coxeter group.

Cartesian coordinates

Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of a rectified pentacross, centered at the origin, edge length \sqrt{2}\ are all permutations of: : (±1,±1,0,0,0)
