In 8-dimensional geometry, the 1₄₂ is a uniform 8-polytope, constructed within the symmetry of the E₈ group.

Its Coxeter symbol is 1₄₂, describing its bifurcating Coxeter-Dynkin diagram, with a single ring on the end of the 1-node sequences.

The rectified 1₄₂ is constructed by points at the mid-edges of the 1₄₂ and is the same as the birectified 2₄₁, and the quadrirectified 4₂₁.

These polytopes are part of a family of 255 (2 − 1) convex uniform polytopes in 8 dimensions, made of uniform polytope facets and vertex figures, defined by all non-empty combinations of rings in this Coxeter-Dynkin diagram: .

The 1₄₂ is composed of 2400 facets: 240 1₃₂ polytopes, and 2160 7-demicubes (1₄₁). Its vertex figure is a birectified 7-simplex.

This polytope, along with the demiocteract, can tessellate 8-dimensional space, represented by the symbol 1₅₂, and Coxeter-Dynkin diagram: .

Alternate names

E. L. Elte (1912) excluded this polytope from his listing of semiregular polytopes, because it has more than two types of 6-faces, but under his naming scheme it would be called V₁₇₂₈₀ for its 17280 vertices.
Coxeter named it 1₄₂ for its bifurcating Coxeter-Dynkin diagram, with a single ring on the end of the 1-node branch.
Diacositetracont-dischiliahectohexaconta-zetton (acronym bif) - 240-2160 facetted polyzetton (Jonathan Bowers)

Coordinates

The 17280 vertices can be defined as sign and location permutations of:

All sign combinations (32): (280×32=8960 vertices)

(4, 2, 2, 2, 2, 0, 0, 0)

Half of the sign combinations (128): ((1+8+56)×128=8320 vertices)

(2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2)

(5, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)

(3, 3, 3, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)

The edge length is 2√2 in this coordinate set, and the polytope radius is 4√2.

Construction

It is created by a Wythoff construction upon a set of 8 hyperplane mirrors in 8-dimensional space.

The facet information can be extracted from its Coxeter-Dynkin diagram: .

Removing the node on the end of the 2-length branch leaves the 7-demicube, 1₄₁, .

Removing the node on the end of the 4-length branch leaves the 1₃₂, .

The vertex figure is determined by removing the ringed node and ringing the neighboring node. This makes the birectified 7-simplex, 0₄₂, .

Seen in a configuration matrix, the element counts can be derived by mirror removal and ratios of Coxeter group orders.

The rectified 1₄₂ is named from being a rectification of the 1₄₂ polytope, with vertices positioned at the mid-edges of the 1₄₂. It can also be called a 0₄₂₁ polytope with the ring at the center of 3 branches of length 4, 2, and 1.
