In 7-dimensional geometry, 133 is a uniform honeycomb, also given by Schläfli symbol {3,33,3}, and is composed of 132 facets.

Construction

It is created by a Wythoff construction upon a set of 8 hyperplane mirrors in 7-dimensional space.

The facet information can be extracted from its Coxeter-Dynkin diagram.

Template:CDD

Removing a node on the end of one of the 3-length branch leaves the 132, its only facet type.

Template:CDD

The vertex figure is determined by removing the ringed node and ringing the neighboring node. This makes the trirectified 7-simplex, 033.

Template:CDD

The edge figure is determined by removing the ringed nodes of the vertex figure and ringing the neighboring node. This makes the tetrahedral duoprism, {3,3}×{3,3}.

Kissing number

Each vertex of this polytope corresponds to the center of a 6-sphere in a moderately dense sphere packing, in which each sphere is tangent to 70 others; the best known for 7 dimensions (the kissing number) is 126.

Geometric folding

The E~7 group is related to the F~4 by a geometric folding, so this honeycomb can be projected into the 4-dimensional demitesseractic honeycomb.

E7* lattice

E~7 contains A~7 as a subgroup of index 144.[1] Both E~7 and A~7 can be seen as affine extension from A7 from different nodes: File:Affine A7 E7 relations.png

The E7* lattice (also called E72)[2] has double the symmetry, represented by [[3,33,3]]. The Voronoi cell of the E7* lattice is the 132 polytope, and voronoi tessellation the 133 honeycomb.[3] The E7* lattice is constructed by 2 copies of the E7 lattice vertices, one from each long branch of the Coxeter diagram, and can be constructed as the union of four A7* lattices, also called A74:

Related polytopes and honeycombs

The 133 is fourth in a dimensional series of uniform polytopes and honeycombs, expressed by Coxeter as 13k series. The final is a noncompact hyperbolic honeycomb, 134. Template:1 3k polytopes
