Regular polytopes (RPs) are an extension of 2D (two-dimensional) regular polygons and 3D regular polyhedra in n-dimensional ( n ≥ 4 ) space. The high abstraction and perfect symmetry are their most prominent features. The traditional projections only show vertex and edge information. Although such projections can preserve the highest degree of symmetry of the RPs, they can not transmit their metric or topological information. Based on the generalized stereographic projection, this paper establishes visualization methods for 5D RPs, which can preserve symmetries and convey general metric and topological data. It is a general strategy that can be extended to visualize n-dimensional RPs ( n > 5 ).

There are infinitely many regular polygons, but we find, on extending the idea of polygons to three dimensions, that there are only five regular polyhedra, the Platonic solids. What happens then if we try to extend this idea beyond three dimensions? It turns out that, of the five Platonic solids, just the regular tetrahedron, cube and regular octahedron have analogues in all higher dimensions, the so-called regular polytopes. Brief descriptions of these mathematical objects are to be found in [1], for example.

1. Historical remarks. In this paper we extend some well-known extremum properties of the regular polygons to the regular polyhedra. We start by mentioning some known results in this direction.First, let us briefly consider the problem which has received the greatest attention among all the extremum problems for polyhedra. It is the determination of the polyhedron of greatest volume F of a class of polyhedra of equal surface areas F, i.e., the isepiphan problem.

Organisms can develop different kinds of asymmetry when deviations from expected perfect symmetry occur. Among others are fluctuating asymmetry (FA) and directional asymmetry (DA). FA represents small random differences between corresponding parts on the left and right sides of an individual in bilaterally paired structures. It is thought that FA reflects an organism’s ability to cope with genetic and environmental stress during growth. DA occurs whenever one side on the plane of symmetry develops more than the other side, and has a genetic component. In this research, we examined the expression of morphological symmetry in 38 skulls of different age groups of wild boar (Sus scrofa), on their ventral aspect, using two-dimensional coordinates of 27 landmarks. Analyses showed the presence of significant FA and DA in the entire sample, detecting also distinctive differences between age groups. The obtained results show that the shape differences in different age groups could reasonably be a consequence of a response to environmental factors for FA and a masticatory lateralization for DA.

Abstract For $n\geq 3$ , let $Q_n\subset \mathbb {C}$ be an arbitrary regular n-sided polygon. We prove that the Cauchy transform $F_{Q_n}$ of the normalised two-dimensional Lebesgue measure on $Q_n$ is univalent and starlike but not convex in $\widehat {\mathbb {C}}\setminus Q_n$ .

A polyhedron is said to be “regular” if its faces are congruent regular polygons and its polyhedral angles are all congruent. While there are regular polygons of all orders, it is surprising that there are only five different regular polyhedra. These regular polyhedra have been named according to the number of faces each possesses. Thus there is the tetrahedron with four triangular faces, the hexahedron (cube) with six square faces, the octahedron with eight triangular faces, the dodecahedron with twelve pentagonal faces, and the icosahedron with twenty triangular faces. See the accompanying figure.

We measured the angular momentum density distribution of YNi 2 B 2 C to acquire information about its electronic structure. The measurements were performed using the full-scale utility of the two-dimensional angular correlation of annihilation radiation (2D-ACAR). The measured spectra clarified that Ni (3d) like state, predominantly, affected the Fermi surface of YNi 2 B 2 C . Further, s- and p-like-states enhanced its superconducting properties. The Fermi surface of YNi 2 B 2 C . was reconstructed using Fourier transformation followed by the LCW (Loucks, Crisp and West) folding procedure. It showed a large and complex surface similar to that of the high temperature superconductors HTS, with anisotropic properties. It also disclosed the effect of d-like state. Nevertheless, the current Fermi surface could deliver the needed topological information to isolate its features. The general layouts of this Fermi surface are; two large electron surfaces running along Γ–Z direction; as well as an additional large electron surface centered on X point; beside one hole surface centered on 100 point. This Fermi surface was interpreted in view of the earlier results.
