Runcinated 120-cells

In four-dimensional geometry, a runcinated 120-cell (or runcinated 600-cell) is a convex uniform 4-polytope, being a runcination (a 3rd order truncation) of the regular 120-cell.

There are 4 degrees of runcinations of the 120-cell including with permutations truncations and cantellations.

The runcinated 120-cell can be seen as an expansion applied to a regular 4-polytope, the 120-cell or 600-cell.

Runcinated 120-cell

The runcinated 120-cell or small disprismatohexacosihecatonicosachoron is a uniform 4-polytope. It has 2640 cells: 120 dodecahedra, 720 pentagonal prisms, 1200 triangular prisms, and 600 tetrahedra. Its vertex figure is a nonuniform triangular antiprism (equilateral-triangular antipodium): its bases represent a dodecahedron and a tetrahedron, and its flanks represent three triangular prisms and three pentagonal prisms.

Runcitruncated 120-cell

The runcitruncated 120-cell or prismatorhombated hexacosichoron is a uniform 4-polytope. It contains 2640 cells: 120 truncated dodecahedra, 720 decagonal prisms, 1200 triangular prisms, and 600 cuboctahedra. Its vertex figure is an irregular rectangular pyramid, with one truncated dodecahedron, two decagonal prisms, one triangular prism, and one cuboctahedron.

Omnitruncated 120-cell

The omnitruncated 120-cell or great disprismatohexacosihecatonicosachoron is a convex uniform 4-polytope, composed of 2640 cells: 120 truncated icosidodecahedra, 600 truncated octahedra, 720 decagonal prisms, and 1200 hexagonal prisms. It has 14400 vertices, 28800 edges, and 17040 faces (10800 squares, 4800 hexagons, and 1440 decagons). It is the largest nonprismatic convex uniform 4-polytope.[citation needed]

The vertices and edges form the Cayley graph of the Coxeter group H4.

Models

The first complete physical model of a 3D projection of the omnitruncated 120-cell was built by a team led by Daniel Duddy and David Richter on August 9, 2006 using the Zome system in the London Knowledge Lab for the 2006 .

Full snub 120-cell

The full snub 120-cell or omnisnub 120-cell, defined as an alternation of the omnitruncated 120-cell, can not be made uniform, but it can be given Coxeter diagram , and symmetry [5,3,3]+, and constructed from 1200 octahedrons, 600 icosahedrons, 720 pentagonal antiprisms, 120 snub dodecahedrons, and 7200 tetrahedrons filling the gaps at the deleted vertices. It has 9840 cells, 35040 faces, 32400 edges, and 7200 vertices.
