In five-dimensional geometry, a stericated 5-simplex is a convex uniform 5-polytope with fourth-order truncations (sterication) of the regular 5-simplex.

There are six unique sterications of the 5-simplex, including permutations of truncations, cantellations, and runcinations. The simplest stericated 5-simplex is also called an expanded 5-simplex, with the first and last nodes ringed, for being constructible by an expansion operation applied to the regular 5-simplex. The highest form, the steriruncicantitruncated 5-simplex is more simply called an omnitruncated 5-simplex with all of the nodes ringed.

A stericated 5-simplex can be constructed by an expansion operation applied to the regular 5-simplex, and thus is also sometimes called an expanded 5-simplex. It has 30 vertices, 120 edges, 210 faces (120 triangles and 90 squares), 180 cells (60 tetrahedra and 120 triangular prisms) and 62 4-faces (12 5-cells, 30 tetrahedral prisms and 20 3-3 duoprisms).

Alternate names

• Expanded 5-simplex
• Stericated hexateron
• Small cellated dodecateron (Acronym: scad) (Jonathan Bowers)^[1]

Cross-sections

The maximal cross-section of the stericated hexateron with a 4-dimensional hyperplane is a runcinated 5-cell. This cross-section divides the stericated hexateron into two pentachoral hypercupolas consisting of 6 5-cells, 15 tetrahedral prisms and 10 3-3 duoprisms each.

Coordinates

The vertices of the stericated 5-simplex can be constructed on a hyperplane in 6-space as permutations of (0,1,1,1,1,2). This represents the positive orthant facet of the stericated 6-orthoplex.

A second construction in 6-space, from the center of a rectified 6-orthoplex is given by coordinate permutations of:

(1,-1,0,0,0,0)

The Cartesian coordinates in 5-space for the normalized vertices of an origin-centered stericated hexateron are:

$\left(\pm1,\ 0,\ 0,\ 0,\ 0\right)$

$\left(0,\ \pm1,\ 0,\ 0,\ 0\right)$

$\left(0,\ 0,\ \pm1,\ 0,\ 0\right)$

$\left(\pm1/2,\ 0,\ \pm1/2,\ -\sqrt{1/8},\ -\sqrt{3/8}\right)$

$\left(\pm1/2,\ 0,\ \pm1/2,\ \sqrt{1/8},\ \sqrt{3/8}\right)$

$\left( 0,\ \pm1/2,\ \pm1/2,\ -\sqrt{1/8},\ \sqrt{3/8}\right)$

$\left( 0,\ \pm1/2,\ \pm1/2,\ \sqrt{1/8},\ -\sqrt{3/8}\right)$

$\left(\pm1/2,\ \pm1/2,\ 0,\ \pm\sqrt{1/2},\ 0\right)$

Root system

Its 30 vertices represent the root vectors of the simple Lie group A₅. It is also the vertex figure of the 5-simplex honeycomb.
