3 31 Honeycomb - E7 Lattice

E7 Lattice

The vertex arrangement of 331 is called the E7 lattice. contains as a subgroup of index 144. With the relation, the E7 lattice can also be expressed as a union of the vertices of two A7 lattices, also called A72:

= +

The E7* lattice (also called E72) has double the symmetry, represented by ]. The Voronoi cell of the E7* lattice is the 132 polytope, and voronoi tessellation the 133 honeycomb. 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:

+ = + + + = dual of .
