2 41 Polytope

2 41 Polytope

In 8-dimensional geometry, the 2₄₁ is a uniform 8-polytope, constructed within the symmetry of the E₈ group.

Coxeter named it 2₄₁ by its bifurcating Coxeter-Dynkin diagram, with a single ring on the end of the 2-node sequences.

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

These polytopes are part of a family of 255 (28 − 1) convex uniform polytopes in 8-dimensions, made of uniform polytope facets and vertex figures, defined by all permutations of rings in this Coxeter-Dynkin diagram: .
