In six-dimensional geometry, a uniform 6-polytope is a six-dimensional uniform polytope. A uniform polypeton is vertex-transitive, and all facets are uniform 5-polytopes.
The complete set of convex uniform 6-polytopes has not been determined, but most can be made as Wythoff constructions from a small set of symmetry groups. These construction operations are represented by the permutations of rings of the Coxeter-Dynkin diagrams. Each combination of at least one ring on every connected group of nodes in the diagram produces a uniform 6-polytope.
The simplest uniform polypeta are regular polytopes: the 6-simplex {3,3,3,3,3}, the 6-cube (hexeract) {4,3,3,3,3}, and the 6-orthoplex (hexacross) {3,3,3,3,4}.
History of discovery
- Regular polytopes: (convex faces)
- 1852: Ludwig Schläfli proved in his manuscript Theorie der vielfachen Kontinuität that there are exactly 3 regular polytopes in 5 or more dimensions.
- Convex semiregular polytopes: (Various definitions before Coxeter's uniform category)
- 1900: Thorold Gosset enumerated the list of nonprismatic semiregular convex polytopes with regular facets (convex regular polytera) in his publication On the Regular and Semi-Regular Figures in Space of n Dimensions.[1]
- Convex uniform polytopes:
- 1940: The search was expanded systematically by H.S.M. Coxeter in his publication Regular and Semi-Regular Polytopes.
- Nonregular uniform star polytopes: (similar to the nonconvex uniform polyhedra)
Uniform 6-polytopes by fundamental Coxeter groups
Uniform 6-polytopes with reflective symmetry can be generated by these four Coxeter groups, represented by permutations of rings of the Coxeter-Dynkin diagrams.
There are four fundamental reflective symmetry groups which generate 153 unique uniform 6-polytopes.

 Coxeter-Dynkin diagram correspondences between families and higher symmetry within diagrams. Nodes of the same color in each row represent identical mirrors. Black nodes are not active in the correspondence. |

Uniform duoprism
There are 11 categorical uniform duoprismatic families of polytopes based on Cartesian products of lower-dimensional uniform polytopes. Five are formed as the product of a uniform 4-polytope with a regular polygon, and six are formed by the product of two uniform polyhedra:

The A6 family
There are 32+4−1=35 forms, derived by marking one or more nodes of the Coxeter-Dynkin diagram. All 35 are enumerated below. They are named by Norman Johnson from the Wythoff construction operations upon regular 6-simplex (heptapeton). Bowers-style acronym names are given in parentheses for cross-referencing.
The A6 family has symmetry of order 5040 (7 factorial).
The coordinates of uniform 6-polytopes with 6-simplex symmetry can be generated as permutations of simple integers in 7-space, all in hyperplanes with normal vector (1,1,1,1,1,1,1).

The B6 family
There are 63 forms based on all permutations of the Coxeter-Dynkin diagrams with one or more rings.
The B6 family has symmetry of order 46080 (6 factorial x 26).
They are named by Norman Johnson from the Wythoff construction operations upon the regular 6-cube and 6-orthoplex. Bowers names and acronym names are given for cross-referencing.

The D6 family
The D6 family has symmetry of order 23040 (6 factorial x 25).
This family has 3×16−1=47 Wythoffian uniform polytopes, generated by marking one or more nodes of the D6 Coxeter-Dynkin diagram. Of these, 31 (2×16−1) are repeated from the B6 family and 16 are unique to this family. The 16 unique forms are enumerated below. Bowers-style acronym names are given for cross-referencing.

Triaprisms
Uniform triaprisms, {p}×{q}×{r}, form an infinite class for all integers p,q,r>2. {4}×{4}×{4} makes a lower symmetry form of the 6-cube.
The extended f-vector is (p,p,1)*(q,q,1)*(r,r,1)=(pqr,3pqr,3pqr+pq+pr+qr,3p(p+1),3p,1).

Non-Wythoffian 6-polytopes
In 6 dimensions and above, there are an infinite amount of non-Wythoffian convex uniform polytopes: the Cartesian product of the grand antiprism in 4 dimensions and any regular polygon in 2 dimensions. It is not yet proven whether or not there are more.
Regular and uniform honeycombs
There are four fundamental affine Coxeter groups and 27 prismatic groups that generate regular and uniform tessellations in 5-space:

Regular and uniform hyperbolic honeycombs
There are no compact hyperbolic Coxeter groups of rank 6, groups that can generate honeycombs with all finite facets, and a finite vertex figure. However, there are 12 paracompact hyperbolic Coxeter groups of rank 6, each generating uniform honeycombs in 5-space as permutations of rings of the Coxeter diagrams.

Notes on the Wythoff construction for the uniform 6-polytopes
Construction of the reflective 6-dimensional uniform polytopes are done through a Wythoff construction process, and represented through a Coxeter-Dynkin diagram, where each node represents a mirror. Nodes are ringed to imply which mirrors are active. The full set of uniform polytopes generated are based on the unique permutations of ringed nodes. Uniform 6-polytopes are named in relation to the regular polytopes in each family. Some families have two regular constructors and thus may have two ways of naming them.
Here's the primary operators available for constructing and naming the uniform 6-polytopes.
The prismatic forms and bifurcating graphs can use the same truncation indexing notation, but require an explicit numbering system on the nodes for clarity.
| Operation | Extended Schläfli symbol |
Coxeter- Dynkin diagram |
Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Parent | t0{p,q,r,s,t} |  
|
Any regular 6-polytope |
| Rectified | t1{p,q,r,s,t} |
|
The edges are fully truncated into single points. The 6-polytope now has the combined faces of the parent and dual. |
| Birectified | t2{p,q,r,s,t} |
|
Birectification reduces cells to their duals. |
| Truncated | t0,1{p,q,r,s,t} |
|
Each original vertex is cut off, with a new face filling the gap. Truncation has a degree of freedom, which has one solution that creates a uniform truncated 6-polytope. The 6-polytope has its original faces doubled in sides, and contains the faces of the dual.
|
| Bitruncated | t1,2{p,q,r,s,t} |
|
Bitrunction transforms cells to their dual truncation. |
| Tritruncated | t2,3{p,q,r,s,t} |
|
Tritruncation transforms 4-faces to their dual truncation. |
| Cantellated | t0,2{p,q,r,s,t} |
|
In addition to vertex truncation, each original edge is beveled with new rectangular faces appearing in their place. A uniform cantellation is halfway between both the parent and dual forms.
|
| Bicantellated | t1,3{p,q,r,s,t} |
|
In addition to vertex truncation, each original edge is beveled with new rectangular faces appearing in their place. A uniform cantellation is halfway between both the parent and dual forms. |
| Runcinated | t0,3{p,q,r,s,t} |
|
Runcination reduces cells and creates new cells at the vertices and edges. |
| Biruncinated | t1,4{p,q,r,s,t} |
|
Runcination reduces cells and creates new cells at the vertices and edges. |
| Stericated | t0,4{p,q,r,s,t} |
|
Sterication reduces 4-faces and creates new 4-faces at the vertices, edges, and faces in the gaps. |
| Pentellated | t0,5{p,q,r,s,t} |
|
Pentellation reduces 5-faces and creates new 5-faces at the vertices, edges, faces, and cells in the gaps. (expansion operation for polypeta) |
| Omnitruncated | t0,1,2,3,4,5{p,q,r,s,t} |
|
All five operators, truncation, cantellation, runcination, sterication, and pentellation are applied. |
