Convex Uniform Polychora
There are 64 convex uniform polychora, including the 6 regular convex polychora, and excluding the infinite sets of the duoprisms and the antiprismatic hyperprisms.
- 5 are polyhedral prisms based on the Platonic solids (1 overlap with regular since a cubic hyperprism is a tesseract)
- 13 are polyhedral prisms based on the Archimedean solids
- 9 are in the self-dual regular A4 group (5-cell) family.
- 9 are in the self-dual regular F4 group (24-cell) family. (Excluding snub 24-cell)
- 15 are in the regular BC4 group (tesseract/16-cell) family (3 overlap with 24-cell family)
- 15 are in the regular H4 group (120-cell/600-cell) family.
- 1 special snub form in the group (24-cell) family.
- 1 special non-Wythoffian polychoron, the grand antiprism.
- TOTAL: 68 − 4 = 64
These 64 uniform polychora are indexed below by George Olshevsky. Repeated symmetry forms are indexed in brackets.
In addition to the 64 above, there are 2 infinite prismatic sets that generate all of the remaining convex forms:
- Set of uniform antiprismatic prisms - s{p,2}x{} - Polyhedral prisms of two antiprisms.
- Set of uniform duoprisms - {p}x{q} - A product of two polygons.

Famous quotes containing the word uniform:
“Iconic clothing has been secularized.... A guardsman in a dress uniform is ostensibly an icon of aggression; his coat is red as the blood he hopes to shed. Seen on a coat-hanger, with no man inside it, the uniform loses all its blustering significance and, to the innocent eye seduced by decorative colour and tactile braid, it is as abstract in symbolic information as a parasol to an Eskimo. It becomes simply magnificent.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
