The rectified 5-simplex, also called the rectified hexateron or rix, is a convex uniform 5-polytope. It consists of 6 regular pentachora and 6 rectified pentachora. Two pentachora and 4 rectified pentachora join at each tetrahedral prismatic vertex. As the name suggests, it is the rectification of the 5-simplex.

It is also a convex segmentoteron, as a pentachoron atop rectified pentachoron.

Representations[edit | edit source]

A rectified 5-simplex has the following Coxeter diagrams:

  • o3x3o3o3o () (full symmetry)
  • xo3ox3oo3oo&#x (A4 axial, pentachoron atop rectified pentachoron)
  • oxo oxo3oox3ooo&#xt (A3×A1 symmetry, vertex-first)
  • x(oo)x3o(ox)o3o(oo)o&#xt (A3 symmetry, tetrahedron-first)
  • oooo3ooxo3oxox&#xr (A3 symmetry)

A rectified 5-simplex can be diminished by removing tetrahedral prismatic pyramids. 3 such pyramids from non-adjacent vertices can be removed to form a scaliform tridiminished rectified hexateron.

The rectified 5-simplex is the colonel of a 7-member regiment. Its other members include the cellibiprismatointercepted hexateron, facetorectified hexateron, cellihexateron, biprismatodishexateron, cellintercepted dishexateron, and spinobiprismatohexateron.
