8-polytope

8-polytope

Three are based on the uniform 6-polytopes and regular polygons:

Uniform duoprismatic forms

There are 28 categorical uniform duoprismatic forms based on Cartesian products of lower dimensional uniform polytopes.

There are 4 based on the uniform 6-polytopes and regular polygons:

Uniform triprismatic forms

There are 11 categorical uniform triprismatic forms based on Cartesian products of lower dimensional uniform polytopes, for example these regular products:

Six are based on products of the uniform 4-polytopes and uniform duoprisms:

Regular and uniform honeycombs

There are five fundamental affine Coxeter groups that generate regular and uniform tessellations in 7-space:

Regular and uniform tessellations include:
* B~7 or [4,35,4] :
**regular honeycomb hepteractic honeycomb, with symbols {4,35,4},
* C~7 or [31,1,34,4] :
**Uniform demihepteractic honeycomb, with symbols h{4,35,4} = {31,1,34,4},
* E~7 or [33,3,1] :
**Uniform 331 honeycomb with 321 polytope vertex figure and 231 polytope and 7-simplex facets with symbols {33,3,1} and
** Uniform 13,3 honeycomb,
