120-cell
English
    

A Schlegel diagram of a 120-cell
Noun
    
- (geometry) A four-dimensional polytope, analogous to a dodecahedron, whose 120 bounding facets are dodecahedra. 
-  1964, Canadian Mathematical Bulletin, page 394:
- The triacontagonal projection of the 120-cell was first drawn by W. A. Wythoff, but not in reproducible form.
 
 -  1987, Jeffrey Hurst Butler, Hyperplane sections of regular star polytopes, page 28:
- In dimension four there are ten star polytopes which together with the 120-cell and 600-cell form the family of pentagonal polytopes (those regular 4-polytopes possessing axes of fivefold symmetry); all twelve have the same symmetry group.
 
 -  2006, John G. Radcliffe, “The Geometry of Hyperbolic Manifolds of Dimension a least 4”, in András Prékopa; Emil Molnár, editors, Non-Euclidean Geometries: János Bolyai Memorial Volume, page 270:
- In 1985, M. Davis [3] gave the first explicit geometric construction of a closed hyperbolic 4-manifold by gluing together the opposite sides of a regular hyperbolic 120-cell P with dihedral angle 72°.
