=== Regular skew polyhedra === {{Main|Regular skew polyhedron}} Finite regular skew polyhedra exist in 4-space. These finite regular skew polyhedra in 4-space can be seen as a subset of the faces of [[uniform 4-polytope]]s. They have planar [[regular polygon]] faces, but [[regular skew polygon]] [[vertex figure]]s. Two dual solutions are related to the [[5-cell]], two dual solutions are related to the [[24-cell]], and an infinite set of self-dual [[duoprism]]s generate regular skew polyhedra as {4, 4 {{pipe}} n}. In the infinite limit these approach a [[duocylinder]] and look like a [[torus]] in their [[stereographic projection]]s into 3-space. {| class=wikitable |+ Finite regular skew polyhedra in 4-space |- !colspan=4|Orthogonal [[Coxeter plane]] projections !rowspan=2|[[Stereographic projection]] |- !colspan=2| A<sub>4</sub> !colspan=2| F<sub>4</sub> |- |[[File:4-simplex t03.svg|150px]] |[[File:4-simplex t12.svg|150px]] |[[File:24-cell t03 F4.svg|150px]] |[[File:24-cell t12 F4.svg|150px]] |[[File:Clifford-torus.gif|150px]] |- ![[Runcinated 5-cell#Related skew polyhedron|{4, 6 {{pipe}} 3}]] ![[Truncated 5-cell#Related skew polyhedron|{6, 4 {{pipe}} 3}]] ![[Runcinated 24-cell#Related regular skew polyhedron|{4, 8 {{pipe}} 3}]] ![[Truncated 24-cells#Related regular skew polyhedron|{8, 4 {{pipe}} 3}]] ![[Duoprism#Related polytopes|{4, 4 {{pipe}} n}]] |- !30 [[square|{4}]] faces<BR>60 edges<BR>20 vertices !20 [[hexagon|{6}]] faces<BR>60 edges<BR>30 vertices !288 {4} faces<BR>576 edges<BR>144 vertices !144 [[octagon|{8}]] faces<BR>576 edges<BR>288 vertices !{{math|''n''<sup>2</sup>}} {4} faces<BR>{{math|2''n''<sup>2</sup>}} edges<BR>{{math|''n''<sup>2</sup>}} vertices |}
