A8 polytope

Orthographic projection
in A₈ Coxeter plane

8-simplex

In 8-dimensional geometry, there are 135 uniform polytopes with A₈ symmetry. There is one self-dual regular form, the 8-simplex with 9 vertices.

Each can be visualized as symmetric orthographic projections in Coxeter planes of the A₈ Coxeter group, and other subgroups.

Graphs

Symmetric orthographic projections of these 135 polytopes can be made in the A₈, A₇, A₆, A₅, A₄, A₃, A₂ Coxeter planes. A_k has [k+1] symmetry.

Each of these 135 polytopes is shown in these 7 symmetry planes, with vertices and edges drawn, and vertices colored by the number of overlapping vertices in each projective position in progressive order: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, magenta, red-violet.
