Truncated 5-simplexes

In five-dimensional geometry, a truncated 5-simplex is a convex uniform 5-polytope, being a truncation of the regular 5-simplex.

There are unique 2 degrees of truncation. Vertices of the truncation 5-simplex are located as pairs on the edge of the 5-simplex. Vertices of the bitruncation 5-simplex are located on the triangular faces of the 5-simplex.

The truncated 5-simplex has 30 vertices, 75 edges, 80 triangular faces, 45 cells (15 tetrahedral, and 30 truncated tetrahedron), and 12 4-faces (6 5-cell and 6 truncated 5-cells).

Coordinates

The vertices of the truncated 5-simplex can be most simply constructed on a hyperplane in 6-space as permutations of (0,0,0,0,1,2) or of (0,1,2,2,2,2). These coordinates come from facets of the truncated 6-orthoplex and bitruncated 6-cube respectively.

Coordinates

The vertices of the bitruncated 5-simplex can be most simply constructed on a hyperplane in 6-space as permutations of (0,0,0,1,2,2) or of (0,0,1,2,2,2). These represent positive orthant facets of the bitruncated 6-orthoplex, and the tritruncated 6-cube respectively.

The truncated 5-simplex is one of 19 uniform 5-polytopes based on the [3,3,3,3] Coxeter group, all shown here in A5 Coxeter plane orthographic projections. (Vertices are colored by projection overlap order, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple having progressively more vertices)
