Orthogonal projections in A8 Coxeter plane

In eight-dimensional geometry, a rectified 8-orthoplex is a convex uniform 8-polytope, being a rectification of the regular 8-orthoplex.

There are unique 8 degrees of rectifications, the zeroth being the 8-orthoplex, and the 7th and last being the 8-cube. Vertices of the rectified 8-orthoplex are located at the edge-centers of the 8-orthoplex. Vertices of the birectified 8-orthoplex are located in the triangular face centers of the 8-orthoplex. Vertices of the trirectified 8-orthoplex are located in the tetrahedral cell centers of the 8-orthoplex.

The rectified 8-orthoplex has 112 vertices. These represent the root vectors of the simple Lie group D₈. The vertices can be seen in 3 hyperplanes, with the 28 vertices rectified 7-simplexs cells on opposite sides, and 56 vertices of an expanded 7-simplex passing through the center. When combined with the 16 vertices of the 8-orthoplex, these vertices represent the 128 root vectors of the B₈ and C₈ simple Lie groups.

Construction

There are two Coxeter groups associated with the rectified 8-orthoplex, one with the C₈ or [4,3⁶] Coxeter group, and a lower symmetry with two copies of heptcross facets, alternating, with the D₈ or [3^5,1,1] Coxeter group.
