Orthogonal projections in A6 Coxeter plane

In six-dimensional geometry, a pentellated 6-simplex is a convex uniform 6-polytope with 5th order truncations of the regular 6-simplex.

There are unique 10 degrees of pentellations of the 6-simplex with permutations of truncations, cantellations, runcinations, and sterications. The simple pentellated 6-simplex is also called an expanded 6-simplex, constructed by an expansion operation applied to the regular 6-simplex. The highest form, the pentisteriruncicantitruncated 6-simplex, is called an omnitruncated 6-simplex with all of the nodes ringed.

Cross-sections

The maximal cross-section of the pentellated 6-simplex with a 5-dimensional hyperplane is a stericated hexateron. This cross-section divides the pentellated 6-simplex into two hexateral hypercupolas consisting of 7 5-simplexes, 21 5-cell prisms and 35 Tetrahedral-Triangular duoprisms each.

Coordinates

The vertices of the pentellated 6-simplex can be positioned in 7-space as permutations of (0,1,1,1,1,1,2). This construction is based on facets of the pentellated 7-orthoplex.

A second construction in 7-space, from the center of a rectified 7-orthoplex is given by coordinate permutations of:

(1,-1,0,0,0,0,0)

Root vectors

Its 42 vertices represent the root vectors of the simple Lie group A6. It is the vertex figure of the 6-simplex honeycomb.

Configuration

This configuration matrix represents the expanded 6-simplex, with 12 permutations of elements. The rows and columns correspond to vertices, edges, faces, cells, 4-faces and 5-faces. The diagonal numbers say how many of each element occur in the whole polytope. The nondiagonal numbers say how many of the column's element occur in or at the row's element.2

Permutohedron and related tessellation

The omnitruncated 6-simplex is the permutohedron of order 7. The omnitruncated 6-simplex is a zonotope, the Minkowski sum of seven line segments parallel to the seven lines through the origin and the seven vertices of the 6-simplex.

Like all uniform omnitruncated n-simplices, the omnitruncated 6-simplex can tessellate space by itself, in this case 6-dimensional space with three facets around each hypercell. It has Coxeter-Dynkin diagram of .

The vertices of the omnitruncated 6-simplex can be most simply positioned in 7-space as permutations of (0,1,2,3,4,5,6). This construction is based on facets of the pentisteriruncicantitruncated 7-orthoplex, t0,1,2,3,4,5{35,4}, .

Full snub 6-simplex

The full snub 6-simplex or omnisnub 6-simplex, defined as an alternation of the omnitruncated 6-simplex is not uniform, but it can be given Coxeter diagram and symmetry [[3,3,3,3,3]]+, and constructed from 14 snub 5-simplexes, 42 snub 5-cell antiprisms, 70 3-s{3,4} duoantiprisms, and 2520 irregular 5-simplexes filling the gaps at the deleted vertices.

The pentellated 6-simplex is one of 35 uniform 6-polytopes based on the [3,3,3,3,3] Coxeter group, all shown here in A6 Coxeter plane orthographic projections.
