Ingeometry, a9-cube is a nine-dimensionalhypercube with 512vertices, 2304edges, 4608squarefaces, 5376cubiccells, 4032tesseract4-faces, 20165-cube5-faces, 6726-cube6-faces, 1447-cube7-faces, and 188-cube8-faces.
It can be named by itsSchläfli symbol {4,37}, being composed of three8-cubes around each 7-face. It is also called anenneract, aportmanteau oftesseract (the4-cube) andenne for nine (dimensions) inGreek. It can also be called a regularoctadeca-9-tope oroctadecayotton, as anine-dimensional polytope constructed with 18 regularfacets.
It is a part of an infinite family of polytopes, called hypercubes. Thedual of a 9-cube can be called a9-orthoplex, and is a part of the infinite family ofcross-polytopes.
Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of a 9-cube centered at the origin and edge length 2 are
while the interior of the same consists of all points (x0,x1,x2,x3,x4,x5,x6,x7,x8) with −1 < xi < 1.
This 9-cube graph is anorthogonal projection. This orientation shows columns of vertices positioned a vertex-edge-vertex distance from one vertex on the left to one vertex on the right, and edges attaching adjacent columns of vertices. The number of vertices in each column represents rows inPascal's triangle, being 1:9:36:84:126:126:84:36:9:1. |

Applying analternation operation, deleting alternating vertices of the9-cube, creates anotheruniform polytope, called a9-demicube, (part of an infinite family calleddemihypercubes), which has 188-demicube and 256 8-simplex facets.
