Regular and uniform honeycombs

[edit]

There are five fundamental affine Coxeter groups that generate regular and uniform tessellations in 4-space.[1]

# Coxeter group Coxeter-Dynkin diagram
1 A~4 [(3,3,3,3,3)] [3[5]]
2 B~4 [4,3,3,4]
3 C~4 [4,3,31,1] h[4,3,3,4]
4 D~4 [31,1,1,1] q[4,3,3,4]
5 F~4 [3,4,3,3] h[4,3,3,4]

There are three regular honeycomb of Euclidean 4-space:

  1. tesseractic honeycomb, with symbols {4,3,3,4}, = . There are 19 uniform honeycombs in this family.
  2. 24-cell honeycomb, with symbols {3,4,3,3}, . There are 31 uniform honeycombs in this family.
  3. 16-cell honeycomb, with symbols {3,3,4,3},

Other families that generate uniform honeycombs:

  • There are 23 uniform honeycombs, 4 unique in the 16-cell honeycomb family. With symbols h{4,32,4} it is geometrically identical to the 16-cell honeycomb, =
  • There are 7 uniform honeycombs from the A~4, family, all unique.
  • There are 9 uniform honeycombs in the D~4: [31,1,1,1] family, all repeated in other families, including the 16-cell honeycomb.

Non-Wythoffian uniform tessellations in 4-space also exist by elongation (inserting layers), and gyration (rotating layers) from these reflective forms.

The single-ringed tessellations are given below, indexed by Olshevsky's listing.

Duoprismatic forms

  • B~2xB~2: [4,4]x[4,4] = [4,3,3,4] = (Same as tesseractic honeycomb family)
  • B~2xH~2: [4,4]x[6,3]
  • H~2xH~2: [6,3]x[6,3]
  • A~2xB~2: [Δ]x[4,4] (Same forms as [6,3]x[4,4])
  • A~2xH~2: [Δ]x[6,3] (Same forms as [6,3]x[6,3])
  • A~2xA~2: [Δ]x[Δ] (Same forms as [6,3]x[6,3])

Prismatic forms

  • B~3xI~1: [4,3,4]x[∞]
  • D~3xI~1: [4,31,1]x[∞]
  • A~3xI~1:

Noncompact prismatic forms

  • A3xI~1: [3,3]x[∞] -
  • B3xI~1: [4,3]x[∞] -
  • H3xI~1: [5,3]x[∞] -
  • I~1xI~1xI2r: [∞] x [∞] x [r] = [4,4]x[r] - =

Non-Wythoffian forms

[edit]

The non-Wythoffian forms are built as stacked composites of these prismatic noncompact groups:

  • I2pxI~1xA1: [p]x[∞]x[ ] - (Prism column)
  • D~3xA1: [4,31,1]x[ ] (Prism slab)
  • A~3xA1: (Prism slab)
  • A~2xI2p: [Δ]x[p] (Prism slab)
  • B~2xI2p: [4,4]x[p] (Prism slab)
  • H~2xI2p: [6,3]x[p] (Prism slab)

F~4 [3,4,3,3] family

[edit]

There are 32 honeycombs in this family, 31 reflective forms and one snub.[3] They are named as truncated forms from the regular 16-cell honeycomb and 24-cell honeycomb. These 31 forms are listed by the regular generators in two groups of 19, with 7 shared between.

From the regular 24-cell honeycomb, 19 forms are:
