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:
“It was inspiriting to hear the regular dip of the paddles, as if they were our fins or flippers, and to realize that we were at length fairly embarked. We who had felt strangely as stage-passengers and tavern-lodgers were suddenly naturalized there and presented with the freedom of the lakes and woods.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
