Regular 5-polytopes
Regular 5-polytopes can be represented by the Schläfli symbol {p,q,r,s}, with s {p,q,r} polychoral facets around each face. There are exactly three such regular polytopes, all convex:
- {3,3,3,3} - Hexateron (5-simplex)
- {4,3,3,3} - Penteract (5-hypercube)
- {3,3,3,4} - Pentacross (5-orthoplex)
There are no nonconvex regular polytopes in 5 or more dimensions.

Famous quotes containing the word regular:
“This is the frost coming out of the ground; this is Spring. It precedes the green and flowery spring, as mythology precedes regular poetry. I know of nothing more purgative of winter fumes and indigestions. It convinces me that Earth is still in her swaddling-clothes, and stretches forth baby fingers on every side.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
