• Source: 2 41 polytope

In 8-dimensional geometry, the 241 is a uniform 8-polytope, constructed within the symmetry of the E8 group.
Its Coxeter symbol is 241, describing its bifurcating Coxeter-Dynkin diagram, with a single ring on the end of the 2-node sequences.
The rectified 241 is constructed by points at the mid-edges of the 241. The birectified 241 is constructed by points at the triangle face centers of the 241, and is the same as the rectified 142.
These polytopes are part of a family of 255 (28 − 1) convex uniform polytopes in 8-dimensions, made of uniform polytope facets, defined by all permutations of rings in this Coxeter-Dynkin diagram: .




241 polytope



The 241 is composed of 17,520 facets (240 231 polytopes and 17,280 7-simplices), 144,960 6-faces (6,720 221 polytopes and 138,240 6-simplices), 544,320 5-faces (60,480 211 and 483,840 5-simplices), 1,209,600 4-faces (4-simplices), 1,209,600 cells (tetrahedra), 483,840 faces (triangles), 69,120 edges, and 2160 vertices. Its vertex figure is a 7-demicube.
This polytope is a facet in the uniform tessellation, 251 with Coxeter-Dynkin diagram:

E. L. Elte named it V2160 (for its 2160 vertices) in his 1912 listing of semiregular polytopes.
It is named 241 by Coxeter for its bifurcating Coxeter-Dynkin diagram, with a single ring on the end of the 2-node sequence.

The 2160 vertices can be defined as follows:

16 permutations of (±4,0,0,0,0,0,0,0) of (8-orthoplex)
1120 permutations of (±2,±2,±2,±2,0,0,0,0) of (trirectified 8-orthoplex)
1024 permutations of (±3,±1,±1,±1,±1,±1,±1,±1) with an odd number of minus-signs




= Construction

It is created by a Wythoff construction upon a set of 8 hyperplane mirrors in 8-dimensional space.
The facet information can be extracted from its Coxeter-Dynkin diagram: .
Removing the node on the short branch leaves the 7-simplex: . There are 17280 of these facets
Removing the node on the end of the 4-length branch leaves the 231, . There are 240 of these facets. They are centered at the positions of the 240 vertices in the 421 polytope.
The vertex figure is determined by removing the ringed node and ringing the neighboring node. This makes the 7-demicube, 141, .
Seen in a configuration matrix, the element counts can be derived by mirror removal and ratios of Coxeter group orders.

Petrie polygon projections are 12, 18, or 30-sided based on the E6, E7, and E8 symmetries (respectively). The 2160 vertices are all displayed, but lower symmetry forms have projected positions overlapping, shown as different colored vertices. For comparison, a B6 coxeter group is also shown.
