Gossetoids

Published 6 January MMXXVI

The Gossetoids, symmetry group ♯En, are the Erebean polytopes derived from the matrix form of the symbol [3,3,33,3,...], that is, the matrix representing An with the furthest 1 moved to the third space leftwards/upwards. Their natural quotient order is 3, being the lowest prime to faithfully represent the three usual Gossetic symmetries.

Just like the usual Gossetics, they will be named, by increasing number of vertices, the k21 polytope, the ♯2k1 polytope and the ♯1k2 polytope, with k = n−4. They may alternatively be named in the elemental naming scheme as the siderotope, the argyrotope and the chrysotope, all coined by the Hi.gher.space community.

I have also tried the idea of modifying the double-node branch to begin with a 5. Due to irrelevance, I ended up dropping the idea after just having made the general table, available at Rhodogossetoids II.

Rank 9

The rank 9 cases are the ♯152 polyyotton (chrysoyotton, 6561-885735-yotton), the ♯251 polyyotton (argyroyotton, 6561-12597120-yotton) and the ♯521 polyyotton (sideroyotton, 885735-12597120-yotton). The first has 6561 142 polyzettal and 885735 demioctaractic yotta as a quotient of the 152 eightcomb, the second has 6561 241 polyzettal and 12597120 8-simplicial yotta as a quotient of the 251 eightcomb and the third has 885735 241 polyzettal and 12597120 8-orthoplicial yotta as a quotient of the 521 eightcomb.

General

This table shows the flag counts for the symmetry p♯En, along with its Petrie polygon P. The Petrie polygons are dubious; when using the standard Petrie polygon function applied to the odd dimensional Gossetoids yield (likely) nonsense Petrie polygons.
