In six-dimensional geometry, a uniform 6-polytope is a six-dimensional uniform polytope. A uniform polypeton is vertex-transitive, and all facets are uniform 5-polytopes.

The complete set of convex uniform 6-polytopes has not been determined, but most can be made as Wythoff constructions from a small set of symmetry groups. These construction operations are represented by the permutations of rings of the Coxeter-Dynkin diagrams. Each combination of at least one ring on every connected group of nodes in the diagram produces a uniform 6-polytope.

The simplest uniform polypeta are regular polytopes: the 6-simplex {3,3,3,3,3}, the 6-cube (hexeract) {4,3,3,3,3}, and the 6-orthoplex (hexacross) {3,3,3,3,4}.

History of discovery

• Regular polytopes: (convex faces)
  • 1852: Ludwig Schläfli proved in his manuscript Theorie der vielfachen Kontinuität that there are exactly 3 regular polytopes in 5 or more dimensions.
• Convex semiregular polytopes: (Various definitions before Coxeter's uniform category)
  • 1900: Thorold Gosset enumerated the list of nonprismatic semiregular convex polytopes with regular facets (convex regular polytera) in his publication On the Regular and Semi-Regular Figures in Space of n Dimensions.
• Convex uniform polytopes:
  • 1940: The search was expanded systematically by H.S.M. Coxeter in his publication Regular and Semi-Regular Polytopes.
• Nonregular uniform star polytopes: (similar to the nonconvex uniform polyhedra)
  • Ongoing: Jonathan Bowers and other researchers search for other non-convex uniform 6-polytopes, with a current count of 41348 known uniform 6-polytopes outside infinite families (convex and non-convex), excluding the prisms of the uniform 5-polytopes. The list is not proven complete.

Uniform 6-polytopes by fundamental Coxeter groups

Uniform 6-polytopes with reflective symmetry can be generated by these four Coxeter groups, represented by permutations of rings of the Coxeter-Dynkin diagrams.

There are four fundamental reflective symmetry groups which generate 153 unique uniform 6-polytopes.

Uniform duoprism

There are 11 categorical uniform duoprismatic families of polytopes based on Cartesian products of lower-dimensional uniform polytopes. Five are formed as the product of a uniform 4-polytope with a regular polygon, and six are formed by the product of two uniform polyhedra:

The A₆ family

There are 32+4−1=35 forms, derived by marking one or more nodes of the Coxeter-Dynkin diagram. All 35 are enumerated below. They are named by Norman Johnson from the Wythoff construction operations upon regular 6-simplex (heptapeton). Bowers-style acronym names are given in parentheses for cross-referencing.

The A₆ family has symmetry of order 5040 (7 factorial).

The coordinates of uniform 6-polytopes with 6-simplex symmetry can be generated as permutations of simple integers in 7-space, all in hyperplanes with normal vector (1,1,1,1,1,1,1).

Triaprisms

Uniform triaprisms, {p}×{q}×{r}, form an infinite class for all integers p,q,r>2. {4}×{4}×{4} makes a lower symmetry form of the 6-cube.

The extended f-vector is (p,p,1)*(q,q,1)*(r,r,1)=(pqr,3pqr,3pqr+pq+pr+qr,3p(p+1),3p,1).

Non-Wythoffian 6-polytopes

In 6 dimensions and above, there are an infinite amount of non-Wythoffian convex uniform polytopes: the Cartesian product of the grand antiprism in 4 dimensions and any regular polygon in 2 dimensions. It is not yet proven whether or not there are more.

Regular and uniform honeycombs

There are four fundamental affine Coxeter groups and 27 prismatic groups that generate regular and uniform tessellations in 5-space:

#	Coxeter group		Coxeter diagram	Forms
1	${\displaystyle {\tilde {A}}_{5}}$			12
2	${\displaystyle {\tilde {C}}_{5}}$			35
3	${\displaystyle {\tilde {B}}_{5}}$			47 (16 new)
4	${\displaystyle {\tilde {D}}_{5}}$			20 (3 new)

Regular and uniform honeycombs include:

• ${\displaystyle {\tilde {A}}_{5}}$ There are 12 unique uniform honeycombs, including:
  • 5-simplex honeycomb
  • Truncated 5-simplex honeycomb
  • Omnitruncated 5-simplex honeycomb
• ${\displaystyle {\tilde {C}}_{5}}$ There are 35 uniform honeycombs, including:
  • Regular hypercube honeycomb of Euclidean 5-space, the 5-cube honeycomb, with symbols {4,3,4}, =
• ${\displaystyle {\tilde {B}}_{5}}$ There are 47 uniform honeycombs, 16 new, including:
  • The uniform alternated hypercube honeycomb, 5-demicubic honeycomb, with symbols h{4,3,4}, = =
• ${\displaystyle {\tilde {D}}_{5}}$, : There are 20 unique ringed permutations, and 3 new ones. Coxeter calls the first one a quarter 5-cubic honeycomb, with symbols q{4,3,4}, = . The other two new ones are = , = .

Regular and uniform hyperbolic honeycombs

There are no compact hyperbolic Coxeter groups of rank 6, groups that can generate honeycombs with all finite facets, and a finite vertex figure. However, there are 12 paracompact hyperbolic Coxeter groups of rank 6, each generating uniform honeycombs in 5-space as permutations of rings of the Coxeter diagrams.

Notes on the Wythoff construction for the uniform 6-polytopes

Construction of the reflective 6-dimensional uniform polytopes are done through a Wythoff construction process, and represented through a Coxeter-Dynkin diagram, where each node represents a mirror. Nodes are ringed to imply which mirrors are active. The full set of uniform polytopes generated are based on the unique permutations of ringed nodes. Uniform 6-polytopes are named in relation to the regular polytopes in each family. Some families have two regular constructors and thus may have two ways of naming them.

Here's the primary operators available for constructing and naming the uniform 6-polytopes.

The prismatic forms and bifurcating graphs can use the same truncation indexing notation, but require an explicit numbering system on the nodes for clarity.

Operation	Extended Schläfli symbol	Coxeter- Dynkin diagram	Description
Parent	t0{p,q,r,s,t}		Any regular 6-polytope
Rectified	t1{p,q,r,s,t}		The edges are fully truncated into single points. The 6-polytope now has the combined faces of the parent and dual.
Birectified	t2{p,q,r,s,t}		Birectification reduces cells to their duals.
Truncated	t0,1{p,q,r,s,t}		Each original vertex is cut off, with a new face filling the gap. Truncation has a degree of freedom, which has one solution that creates a uniform truncated 6-polytope. The 6-polytope has its original faces doubled in sides, and contains the faces of the dual.
Bitruncated	t1,2{p,q,r,s,t}		Bitrunction transforms cells to their dual truncation.
Tritruncated	t2,3{p,q,r,s,t}		Tritruncation transforms 4-faces to their dual truncation.
Cantellated	t0,2{p,q,r,s,t}		In addition to vertex truncation, each original edge is beveled with new rectangular faces appearing in their place. A uniform cantellation is halfway between both the parent and dual forms.
Bicantellated	t1,3{p,q,r,s,t}		In addition to vertex truncation, each original edge is beveled with new rectangular faces appearing in their place. A uniform cantellation is halfway between both the parent and dual forms.
Runcinated	t0,3{p,q,r,s,t}		Runcination reduces cells and creates new cells at the vertices and edges.
Biruncinated	t1,4{p,q,r,s,t}		Runcination reduces cells and creates new cells at the vertices and edges.
Stericated	t0,4{p,q,r,s,t}		Sterication reduces 4-faces and creates new 4-faces at the vertices, edges, and faces in the gaps.
Pentellated	t0,5{p,q,r,s,t}		Pentellation reduces 5-faces and creates new 5-faces at the vertices, edges, faces, and cells in the gaps. (expansion operation for polypeta)
Omnitruncated	t0,1,2,3,4,5{p,q,r,s,t}		All five operators, truncation, cantellation, runcination, sterication, and pentellation are applied.
