10-demicube

From HandWiki

In geometry, a 10-demicube or demidekeract is a uniform 10-polytope, constructed from the 10-cube with alternated vertices removed. It is part of a dimensionally infinite family of uniform polytopes called demihypercubes.

E. L. Elte identified it in 1912 as a semiregular polytope, labeling it as HM10 for a ten-dimensional half measure polytope.

Coxeter named this polytope as 171 from its Coxeter diagram, with a ring on one of the 1-length branches, and Schläfli symbol {33,3,3,3,3,3,33} or {3,37,1}.
Acronym: hede[1]

Cartesian coordinates

Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of a demidekeract centered at the origin are alternate halves of the dekeract:

(±1,±1,±1,±1,±1,±1,±1,±1,±1,±1)

with an odd number of plus signs.

Vertices are colored by multiplicity: red, orange, yellow, green = 1,2,4,8.

A regular dodecahedron can be embedded as a regular skew polyhedron within the vertices in the 10-demicube, possessing the same symmetries as the 3-dimensional dodecahedron.[2]
