In ten-dimensional geometry, a 10-polytope is a 10-dimensional polytope whose boundary consists of 9-polytope facets, exactly two such facets meeting at each 8-polytope ridge.
A uniform 10-polytope is one which is vertex-transitive, and constructed from uniform facets.
Regular 10-polytopes can be represented by the Schläfli symbol {p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x}, with x {p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w} 9-polytope facets around each peak.
There are exactly three such convex regular 10-polytopes:
There are no nonconvex regular 10-polytopes.
The topology of any given 10-polytope is defined by its Betti numbers and torsion coefficients.[1]
The value of the Euler characteristic used to characterise polyhedra does not generalize usefully to higher dimensions, and is zero for all 10-polytopes, whatever their underlying topology. This inadequacy of the Euler characteristic to reliably distinguish between different topologies in higher dimensions led to the discovery of the more sophisticated Betti numbers.[1]
Similarly, the notion of orientability of a polyhedron is insufficient to characterise the surface twistings of toroidal polytopes, and this led to the use of torsion coefficients.[1]
Uniform 10-polytopes with reflective symmetry can be generated by these three Coxeter groups, represented by permutations of rings of the Coxeter-Dynkin diagrams:
# | Coxeter group | Coxeter-Dynkin diagram | |
---|---|---|---|
1 | A10 | [39] | |
2 | B10 | [4,38] | |
3 | D10 | [37,1,1] |
Selected regular and uniform 10-polytopes from each family include:
The A10 family has symmetry of order 39,916,800 (11 factorial).
There are 512+16-1=527 forms based on all permutations of the Coxeter-Dynkin diagrams with one or more rings. 31 are shown below: all one and two ringed forms, and the final omnitruncated form. Bowers-style acronym names are given in parentheses for cross-referencing.
