Convex Uniform Polychora
There are 64 convex uniform polychora, including the 6 regular convex polychora, and excluding the infinite sets of the duoprisms and the antiprismatic hyperprisms.
- 5 are polyhedral prisms based on the Platonic solids (1 overlap with regular since a cubic hyperprism is a tesseract)
- 13 are polyhedral prisms based on the Archimedean solids
- 9 are in the self-dual regular A4 group (5-cell) family.
- 9 are in the self-dual regular F4 group (24-cell) family. (Excluding snub 24-cell)
- 15 are in the regular BC4 group (tesseract/16-cell) family (3 overlap with 24-cell family)
- 15 are in the regular H4 group (120-cell/600-cell) family.
- 1 special snub form in the group (24-cell) family.
- 1 special non-Wythoffian polychoron, the grand antiprism.
- TOTAL: 68 − 4 = 64
These 64 uniform polychora are indexed below by George Olshevsky. Repeated symmetry forms are indexed in brackets.
In addition to the 64 above, there are 2 infinite prismatic sets that generate all of the remaining convex forms:
- Set of uniform antiprismatic prisms - s{p,2}x{} - Polyhedral prisms of two antiprisms.
- Set of uniform duoprisms - {p}x{q} - A product of two polygons.

Famous quotes containing the word uniform:
“I’ve always been impressed by the different paths babies take in their physical development on the way to walking. It’s rare to see a behavior that starts out with such wide natural variation, yet becomes so uniform after only a few months.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
