The hepteract, or hept, also called the 7-cube, or tetradecaexon, is one of the 3 regular polyexa. It has 14 hexeracts as facets, joining 7 to a vertex. It is the 7-dimensional hypercube.

It can be alternated into a demihepteract, which is uniform.

A regular octaexon of edge length 2 can be inscribed in the unit hepteract.[2] The next largest simplex that can be inscribed in a hypercube is the dodecadakon.[3]

Vertex coordinates[edit | edit source]

The vertices of a hepteract of edge length 1, centered at the origin, are given by:

Representations[edit | edit source]

A hepteract has the following Coxeter diagrams:

  • x4o3o3o3o3o3o () (full symmetry)
  • x x4o3o3o3o3o () (B6×A1 symmetry, hexeractic prism)
  • x4o x4o3o3o3o () (B5×B2 symmetry, square-penteractic duoprism)
  • x4o3o x4o3o3o () (B4×B3 symmetry, cubic-tesseractic duoprism)
  • xx4oo3oo3oo3oo3oo&#x (B6 axial)
  • oqoooooo3ooqooooo3oooqoooo3ooooqooo3oooooqoo3ooooooqo&#xt (A6 axial, vertex-first)
