===Self-dual polytopes and tessellations=== [[File:Kah 4 4.png|thumb|The [[square tiling]], {4,4}, is self-dual, as shown by these red and blue tilings]] [[File:Infinite-order apeirogonal tiling and dual.png|thumb|The [[Infinite-order apeirogonal tiling]], {∞,∞} in red, and its dual position in blue]] The primary class of self-dual polytopes are [[regular polytope]]s with [[palindromic]] [[Schläfli symbol]]s. All regular polygons, {a} are self-dual, [[polyhedron|polyhedra]] of the form {a,a}, [[4-polytope]]s of the form {a,b,a}, [[5-polytope]]s of the form {a,b,b,a}, etc. The self-dual regular polytopes are: * All [[regular polygon]]s, {a}. * Regular [[tetrahedron]]: {3,3} * In general, all regular ''n''-[[simplex]]es, {3,3,...,3} * The regular [[24-cell]] in 4 dimensions, {3,4,3}. * The [[great 120-cell]] {5,5/2,5} and the [[grand stellated 120-cell]] {5/2,5,5/2} The self-dual (infinite) regular Euclidean [[Honeycomb (geometry)|honeycombs]] are: * [[Apeirogon]]: {∞} * [[Square tiling]]: {4,4} * [[Cubic honeycomb]]: {4,3,4} * In general, all regular ''n''-dimensional Euclidean [[hypercubic honeycomb]]s: {4,3,...,3,4}. The self-dual (infinite) regular [[Coxeter diagram#Hyperbolic Coxeter groups|hyperbolic]] honeycombs are: * Compact hyperbolic tilings: [[Order-5 pentagonal tiling|{5,5}]], [[Order-6 hexagonal tiling|{6,6}]], ... {p,p}. * Paracompact hyperbolic tiling: [[Infinite-order apeirogonal tiling|{∞,∞}]] * Compact hyperbolic honeycombs: [[Icosahedral honeycomb|{3,5,3}]], [[Order-5 dodecahedral honeycomb|{5,3,5}]], and [[Order-5 120-cell honeycomb|{5,3,3,5}]] * Paracompact hyperbolic honeycombs: [[Triangular tiling honeycomb|{3,6,3}]], [[Order-6 hexagonal tiling honeycomb|{6,3,6}]], [[Order-4 square tiling honeycomb|{4,4,4}]], and [[16-cell honeycomb honeycomb|{3,3,4,3,3}]]
