unusual facts about 5-orthoplex


5-orthoplex

There are three Coxeter groups associated with the 5-orthoplex, one regular, dual of the penteract with the C5 or 4,3,3,3 Coxeter group, and a lower symmetry with two copies of 5-cell facets, alternating, with the D5 or 32,1,1 Coxeter group, and the final one as a dual 5-orthotope, called a 5-fusil which can have a variety of subsymmetries.
