Pentacross

Pentacross

In five-dimensional geometry, a pentacross, also called a triacontakaiditeron, is a five-dimensional polytope with 10 vertices, 40 edges, 80 triangle faces, 80 octahedron cells, 32 5-cell hypercells.

It is a part of an infinite family of polytopes, called cross-polytopes or "orthoplexes". The dual polytope is the 5-hypercube or penteract.

The name "pentacross" is derived from combining the family name "cross polytope" with "pente" for five (dimensions) in Greek.

Construction

There are two Coxeter groups associated with the "pentacross", one regular, dual of the penteract with the C5 or [4,3,3,3] Coxeter group, and a lower symmetry with two copies of "5-cell" facets, alternating, with the D5 or [32,1,1] Coxeter group.

Cartesian coordinates

Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of a pentacross, centered at the origin are: (±1,0,0,0,0), (0,±1,0,0,0), (0,0,±1,0,0), (0,0,0,±1,0), (0,0,0,0,±1)
