===Isometries=== There are many lower symmetry forms of the 5-cell, including these found as uniform polytope [[vertex figure]]s: {| class=wikitable width=600 !Symmetry ![3,3,3]<BR>Order 120 ![3,3,1]<BR>Order 24 ![3,2,1]<BR>Order 12 ![3,1,1]<BR>Order 6 !~[5,2]<sup>+</sup><BR>Order 10 |- align=center !Name | Regular 5-cell | Tetrahedral [[polyhedral pyramid|pyramid]] | | Triangular pyramidal pyramid | |- align=center ![[Schläfli symbol|Schläfli]] | {3,3,3} | {3,3}∨( ) | {3}∨{ } | {3}∨( )∨( ) | |- align=center valign=top !valign=center|Example<BR>Vertex<BR>figure |[[File:5-simplex verf.png|120px]]<BR>[[5-simplex]] |[[File:Truncated 5-simplex verf.png|120px]]<BR>[[Truncated 5-simplex]] |[[File:Bitruncated 5-simplex verf.png|120px]]<BR>[[Bitruncated 5-simplex]] |[[File:Canitruncated 5-simplex verf.png|120px]]<BR>[[Cantitruncated 5-simplex]] |[[File:Omnitruncated 4-simplex honeycomb verf.png|120px]]<BR>[[Omnitruncated 4-simplex honeycomb]] |} The '''tetrahedral pyramid''' is a special case of a '''5-cell''', a [[polyhedral pyramid]], constructed as a regular [[tetrahedron]] base in a 3-space [[hyperplane]], and an [[Apex (geometry)|apex]] point ''above'' the hyperplane. The four ''sides'' of the pyramid are made of [[triangular pyramid]] cells. Many [[uniform 5-polytope]]s have '''tetrahedral pyramid''' [[vertex figure]]s with [[Schläfli symbol]]s ( )∨{3,3}. {| class=wikitable |+ Symmetry [3,3,1], order 24 |- ![[Schlegel diagram|Schlegel<BR>diagram]] |[[File:5-cell prism verf.png|100px]] |[[File:Tesseractic prism verf.png|100px]] |[[File:120-cell prism verf.png|100px]] |[[File:Truncated 5-simplex verf.png|100px]] |[[File:Truncated 5-cube verf.png|100px]] |[[File:Truncated 24-cell honeycomb verf.png|100px]] |- !Name<BR>[[Coxeter diagram|Coxeter]] ![[5-cell prism|{ }×{3,3,3}]]<BR>{{CDD|node_1|2|node_1|3|node|3|node|3|node}} ![[Tesseractic prism|{ }×{4,3,3}]]<BR>{{CDD|node_1|2|node_1|4|node|3|node|3|node}} ![[120-cell prism|{ }×{5,3,3}]]<BR>{{CDD|node_1|2|node_1|5|node|3|node|3|node}} ![[Truncated 5-simplex|t{3,3,3,3}]]<BR>{{CDD|node_1|3|node_1|3|node|3|node|3|node}} ![[Truncated 5-cube|t{4,3,3,3}]]<BR>{{CDD|node_1|4|node_1|3|node|3|node|3|node}} ![[Truncated 24-cell honeycomb|t{3,4,3,3}]]<BR>{{CDD|node_1|3|node_1|4|node|3|node|3|node}} |} Other uniform 5-polytopes have irregular 5-cell vertex figures. The symmetry of a vertex figure of a [[uniform polytope]] is represented by removing the ringed nodes of the Coxeter diagram. {| class=wikitable !Symmetry !colspan=2|[3,2,1], order 12 !colspan=2|[3,1,1], order 6 ![2<sup>+</sup>,4,1], order 8 ![2,1,1], order 4 |- align=center ![[Schläfli symbol|Schläfli]] |colspan=2|{3}∨{ }||colspan=2|{3}∨( )∨( )||colspan=2|{ }∨{ }∨( ) |- ![[Schlegel diagram|Schlegel<BR>diagram]] |[[File:Bitruncated 5-simplex verf.png|100px]] |[[File:Bitruncated penteract verf.png|100px]] |[[File:Canitruncated 5-simplex verf.png|100px]] |[[File:Canitruncated 5-cube verf.png|100px]] |[[File:Bicanitruncated 5-simplex verf.png|100px]] |[[File:Bicanitruncated 5-cube verf.png|100px]] |- !Name<BR>[[Coxeter diagram|Coxeter]] ![[bitruncated 5-simplex|t<sub>12</sub>α<sub>5</sub>]]<BR>{{CDD|node|3|node_1|3|node_1|3|node|3|node}} ![[bitruncated 5-cube|t<sub>12</sub>γ<sub>5</sub>]]<BR>{{CDD|node|4|node_1|3|node_1|3|node|3|node}} ![[Cantitruncated 5-simplex|t<sub>012</sub>α<sub>5</sub>]]<BR>{{CDD|node_1|3|node_1|3|node_1|3|node|3|node}} ![[Cantitruncated 5-cube|t<sub>012</sub>γ<sub>5</sub>]]<BR>{{CDD|node_1|4|node_1|3|node_1|3|node|3|node}} ![[Bicantitruncated 5-simplex|t<sub>123</sub>α<sub>5</sub>]]<BR>{{CDD|node|3|node_1|3|node_1|3|node_1|3|node}} ![[Bicantitruncated 5-cube|t<sub>123</sub>γ<sub>5</sub>]]<BR>{{CDD|node|4|node_1|3|node_1|3|node_1|3|node}} |} {| class=wikitable !Symmetry !colspan=3|[2,1,1], order 2 ![2<sup>+</sup>,1,1], order 2 ![ ]<sup>+</sup>, order 1 |- align=center ![[Schläfli symbol|Schläfli]] |colspan=3|{ }∨( )∨( )∨( )||colspan=2|( )∨( )∨( )∨( )∨( ) |- ![[Schlegel diagram|Schlegel<BR>diagram]] |[[File:Runcicantitruncated 5-simplex verf.png|100px]] |[[File:Runcicantitruncated 5-cube verf.png|100px]] |[[File:Runcicantitruncated 5-orthoplex verf.png|100px]] |[[File:Omnitruncated 5-simplex verf.png|100px]] |[[File:Omnitruncated 5-cube verf.png|100px]] |- !Name<BR>[[Coxeter diagram|Coxeter]] ![[Runcicantitruncated 5-simplex|t<sub>0123</sub>α<sub>5</sub>]]<BR>{{CDD|node_1|3|node_1|3|node_1|3|node_1|3|node}} ![[Runcicantitruncated 5-cube|t<sub>0123</sub>γ<sub>5</sub>]]<BR>{{CDD|node_1|4|node_1|3|node_1|3|node_1|3|node}} ![[Runcicantitruncated 5-orthoplex|t<sub>0123</sub>β<sub>5</sub>]]<BR>{{CDD|node_1|3|node_1|3|node_1|3|node_1|4|node}} ![[Omnitruncated 5-simplex|t<sub>01234</sub>α<sub>5</sub>]]<BR>{{CDD|node_1|3|node_1|3|node_1|3|node_1|3|node_1}} ![[Omnitruncated 5-cube|t<sub>01234</sub>γ<sub>5</sub>]]<BR>{{CDD|node_1|4|node_1|3|node_1|3|node_1|3|node_1}} |}
