8-polytopes | E8 (mathematics)

E8 polytope

In 8-dimensional geometry, there are 255 uniform polytopes with E8 symmetry. The three simplest forms are the 421, 241, and 142 polytopes, composed of 240, 2160 and 17280 vertices respectively. These polytopes can be visualized as symmetric orthographic projections in Coxeter planes of the E8 Coxeter group, and other subgroups. (Wikipedia).

What are four types of polygons

👉 Learn about polygons and how to classify them. A polygon is a plane shape bounded by a finite chain of straight lines. A polygon can be concave or convex and it can also be regular or irregular. A concave polygon is a polygon in which at least one of its interior angles is greater than 1

Jeroen Schillewaert: Constructing highly regular expanders from hyperbolic Coxeter groups

Thursday 17 November 2022 Jeroen Schillewaert, University of Auckland Abstract: Given a string Coxeter system (W,S), we construct highly regular quotients of the 1-skeleton of its universal polytope P, which form an infinite family of expander graphs when (W,S) is indefinite and P has fin

Modular forms: Theta functions in higher dimensions

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on modular forms. We study theta functions of even unimodular lattices, such as the root lattice of the E8 exceptional Lie algebra. As examples we show that one cannot "her the shape of a drum", and calculate the number of minimal vectors

Geometrically, a linear program gives rise to a polyhedron together with an orientation of its graph. A simplex method selects a path from any given vertex to the sink and thus determines an arborescence. The centerpiece of any simplex method is the pivot rule that selects the outgoing edg
