- Pentellated 6-simplex
-
In six-dimensional geometry, a pentellated 6-simplex is a convex uniform 6-polytope with 5th order truncations of the regular 6-simplex.
There are unique 10 degrees of pentellations of the 6-simplex with permutations of truncations, cantellations, runcinations, and sterications. The simple pentellated 6-simplex is also called an expanded 6-simplex, constructed by an expansion operation applied to the regular 6-simplex. The highest form, the pentisteriruncicantitruncated 6-simplex, is called an omnitruncated 6-simplex with all of the nodes ringed.

The omnitruncated 6-simplex is the permutohedron of order 7. The omnitruncated 6-simplex is a zonotope, the Minkowski sum of seven line segments parallel to the seven lines through the origin and the seven vertices of the 6-simplex.
Like all uniform omnitruncated n-simplices, the omnitruncated 6-simplex can tessellate space by itself, in this case 6-dimensional space with three facets around each hypercell. It has Coxeter-Dynkin diagram of .

The vertices of the omnitruncated 6-simplex can be most simply positioned in 7-space as permutations of (0,1,2,3,4,5,6). This construction is based on facets of the pentisteriruncicantitruncated 7-orthoplex, t0,1,2,3,4,5{35,4}, .
