Cupola

A cupola (plural cupolas or cupolae) is a segmentohedron joining an n-sided upper base to a 2n-sided lower base with a ring of triangles and squares (isosceles triangles and rectangles/isosceles trapezoids in non-regular faced variants). Three cupolas are CRF: the triangular cupola, square cupola and pentagonal cupola.

A p-gonal cupola can be seen as the cap of the uniform polyhedron.

Star cupolae
These connect a m/n-gon to a (2m)/n-gon.

Cuploids
If n is even, a m/n-cupola has a double-covered lower base, making it degenerate. Removing the degenerate base results in a legitimate polyhedron, called a cuploid (or semicupola). Instead of a lower base, the ring of triangles and rectangles wraps twice around pseudoface with an odd number of sides, connecting to itself.

The edges of the pentagrammic and pentagonal cuploids are contained within the small ditrigonary icosidodecahedron.

Cuploids have a Euler characteristic of 1, making them topologically real projective planes; they are non-orientable.

The small supersemicupola is a heptagrammic cuploid that has been "twice inflated" vertically, with square faces augmented into pentagons (with triangles added to buffer the heptagram) and then stretched into heptagons. It was found as a 7-7-3 acrohedron. The construction generalizes, but if a base other than 7/2 is used, the faces of the resulting polyhedron cease to be all regular.

Cupolaic blends
Two m/n-cupolas can be built atop a (2m)/n-gonal base in two different orientations. If these are blended, the resulting polyhedron is called a cupolaic blend.

Generalizations to higher dimensions
The most common generalization of a cupola to higher dimensions is to have a polytope atop its expanded version. This produces valid segmentochora for 4 of the 5 Platonic solids:

By this definition, the CRF icosahedral cupola (icosahedron atop small rhombicosidodecahedron) is hyperbolic. This definition also generalizes the idea of being a cap of an expanded polytope, with the 4 CRF cupolas above being caps of, respectively, the small prismatodecachoron, small disprismatotesseractihexadecachoron, small prismatotetracontoctachoron, and small disprismatohexacosihecatonicosachoron.

In higher dimensions, the simplex and hypercube always have valid CRF cupolas by this definition. The hexadecachoric and icositetrachoric cupolas are 0 height; all others, including the hecatonicosachoric and hexacosichoric cupolas and higher cupolas of cross polytopes, are only CRF in hyperbolic space.

Another definition sometimes used by Richard Klitzing is to have the base polytope atop the common intersection of the compound of the base and its dual (which gives a rectification for 3D cases). This does give CRF versions for all the Platonic solids, but generalizes less well in higher dimensions.

Even more generally, sometimes the term cupola is used to refer to any segmentotope that is a lace prism that is neither a prism, pyramid, or polytope atop dual polytope antiprism.
