In five-dimensionalgeometry, arectified 5-simplex is a convexuniform 5-polytope, being arectification of the regular5-simplex.

There are three unique degrees of rectifications, including the zeroth, the 5-simplex itself. Vertices of therectified 5-simplex are located at the edge-centers of the5-simplex. Vertices of thebirectified 5-simplex are located in the triangular face centers of the5-simplex.

Infive-dimensionalgeometry, arectified 5-simplex is auniform 5-polytope with 15vertices, 60edges, 80triangularfaces, 45cells (30tetrahedral, and 15octahedral), and 124-faces (65-cell and 6rectified 5-cells). It is also called0_3,1 for its branching Coxeter-Dynkin diagram, shown as.

E. L. Elte identified it in 1912 as a semiregular polytope, labeling it as S¹
₅.

The vertices of the rectified 5-simplex can be more simply positioned on ahyperplane in 6-space as permutations of (0,0,0,0,1,1)or (0,0,1,1,1,1). These construction can be seen as facets of therectified 6-orthoplex orbirectified 6-cube respectively.

Thisconfiguration matrix represents the rectified 5-simplex. The rows and columns correspond to vertices, edges, faces, cells and 4-faces. The diagonal numbers say how many of each element occur in the whole rectified 5-simplex. The nondiagonal numbers say how many of the column's element occur in or at the row's element.^[1][2]

The diagonal f-vector numbers are derived through theWythoff construction, dividing the full group order of a subgroup order by removing one mirror at a time.^[3]

The elements of the regular polytopes can be expressed in aconfiguration matrix. Rows and columns reference vertices, edges, faces, and cells, with diagonal element their counts (f-vectors). The nondiagonal elements represent the number of row elements are incident to the column element.^[4][5]

Stereographic projection

Thebirectified 5-simplex is theintersection of two regular5-simplexes indual configuration. The vertices of abirectification exist at the center of the faces of the original polytope(s). This intersection is analogous to the 3Dstellated octahedron, seen as a compound of two regulartetrahedra and intersected in a centraloctahedron, while that is a firstrectification where vertices are at the center of the original edges.

Dual 5-simplexes (red and blue), and their birectified 5-simplex intersection in green, viewed in A5 and A4 Coxeter planes. The simplexes overlap in the A5 projection and are drawn in magenta.

It is also the intersection of a6-cube with the hyperplane that bisects the 6-cube's long diagonal orthogonally. In this sense it is the 5-dimensional analog of the regular hexagon,octahedron, andbitruncated 5-cell. This characterization yields simple coordinates for the vertices of a birectified 5-simplex in 6-space: the 20 distinct permutations of (1,1,1,−1,−1,−1).

The vertices of thebirectified 5-simplex can also be positioned on ahyperplane in 6-space as permutations of (0,0,0,1,1,1). This construction can be seen as facets of thebirectified 6-orthoplex.

Thebirectified 5-simplex, 0₂₂, is second in a dimensional series of uniform polytopes, expressed byCoxeter as k₂₂ series. Thebirectified 5-simplex is the vertex figure for the third, the1₂₂. The fourth figure is a Euclidean honeycomb,2₂₂, and the final is a noncompact hyperbolic honeycomb, 3₂₂. Each progressiveuniform polytope is constructed from the previous as itsvertex figure.
