A₅ polytope

Orthographic projections
A₅ Coxeter plane

5-simplex

In 5-dimensional geometry, there are 19 uniform polytopes with A₅ symmetry. There is one self-dual regular form, the 5-simplex with 6 vertices.

Each can be visualized as symmetric orthographic projections in Coxeter planes of the A₅ Coxeter group, and other subgroups.

Graphs[]

Symmetric orthographic projections of these 19 polytopes can be made in the A₅, A₄, A₃, A₂ Coxeter planes. A_k graphs have [k+1] symmetry. For even k and symmetrically nodea_1ed-diagrams, symmetry doubles to [2(k+1)].

These 19 polytopes are each shown in these 4 symmetry planes, with vertices and edges drawn, and vertices colored by the number of overlapping vertices in each projective position.
