A polar zonohedron is a convex zonohedron derived from the star which joins opposite vertices of any right n-gonal prism (for n even) or antiprism (for n odd). The faces of ...

A notation for polyhedra which begins by specifying a "seed" polyhedron using a capital letter. The Platonic solids are denoted T (tetrahedron), O (octahedron), C (cube), I ...

A cross section of a solid is a plane figure obtained by the intersection of that solid with a plane. The cross section of an object therefore represents an infinitesimal ...

The disdyakis triacontahedron is the dual polyhedron of the Archimedean great rhombicosidodecahedron A_2. It is also known as the hexakis icosahedron (Holden 1971, p. 55). It ...

Two sextuples of skew lines on the general cubic surface such that each line of one is skew to one line in the other set. In all, there are 30 points, with two lines through ...

There exist polyhedra which can be plaited (braided). Examples include a plaited cube and plaited icosahedron illustrated above (Pargeter 1959, Wells 1991). In the above ...

A rotor is a convex figure that can be rotated inside a polygon (or polyhedron) while always touching every side (or face). The least area rotor in a square is the Reuleaux ...

An attractive compound of three regular tetrahedra can be obtained by taking three tetrahedra with a C_2 axes aligned along the z-axis and rotating them a sixth of a turn ...

Also called a T_(3+1/2)-space, a Tychonoff space is a completely regular space (with the additional condition that it be T_1 for those authors who do not assume this in the ...

The deltoidal hexecontahedron is the 60-faced dual polyhedron of the small rhombicosidodecahedron A_5. It is sometimes also called the trapezoidal hexecontahedron (Holden ...
