Ingeometry, a 9-simplex is a self-dualregular9-polytope. It has 10vertices, 45edges, 120 trianglefaces, 210 tetrahedralcells, 2525-cell 4-faces, 2105-simplex 5-faces, 1206-simplex 6-faces, 457-simplex 7-faces, and 108-simplex 8-faces. Itsdihedral angle is cos−1(1/9), or approximately 83.62°.
It can also be called adecayotton, ordeca-9-tope, as a 10-facetted polytope in 9-dimensions. Thenamedecayotton is derived fromdeca for tenfacets inGreek andyotta (a variation of "oct" for eight), having 8-dimensional facets, and-on.
Jonathan Bowers gives it acronymday.[1]
TheCartesian coordinates of the vertices of an origin-centered regular decayotton having edge length 2 are:
More simply, the vertices of the9-simplex can be positioned in 10-space as permutations of (0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1). These are the vertices of oneFacet of the10-orthoplex.
