Regular 4-polytope

Regular 4-polytope

In geometry a regular 4-polytope can mean either a convex or nonconvex (intersecting) 4-polytope.

See:
* Convex regular 4-polytope - There are six convex regular polychora.
* Schläfli-Hess polychoron - There are ten star (self-intersecting) regular star polychora.
