Star polygons in art and culture Star polygons in art and culture Star polygons and polygonal compounds are the basis for numerous figures of significance in arts and culture. The figure may be the border or interior of the polygon, or one or more closed polygonal paths that include all of the border and also have some legs crossing the interior. Impressions of astronomical stars provide the term, but specific uses may exploit the connection or not. Stars often represent the unity of states within a country when they are used as a part of the flag. The five-pointed star, if drawn with points of equal
Regular 4-polytope are 4 dual-pairs and 2 self-dual forms among the ten regular star polychora. Note: The cells (polyhedra), their faces (polygons), the "polygonal edge figures" and "polyhedral vertex figures" are identified by their Schläfli symbols. Regular 4-polytope In mathematics, a regular 4-polytope is a regular four-dimensional polytope. They are the four-dimensional analogs of the regular polyhedra in three dimensions and the regular polygons in two dimensions. Regular 4-polytopes were first described by the Swiss mathematician Ludwig Schläfli in the mid-19th century, although the full set were not discovered until later. There are six convex and ten star regular 4-polytopes, giving a
