A polyteron, plural polytera, is a 5-dimensional polytope composed of points, line segments, faces, cells, tera, and a single peton.
Polytera make up the boundary of 6D polypeta and define their surpeton pentavolume.
Uniform polytera[]
A uniform polyteron is a polyteron that are vertex-transitive and bound by uniform facets. Each face is a regular polygon, each cell is a uniform polyhedron, and each teron is a uniform polychoron. As of June 2025, there are 1297 known uniform polytera.
There are only three regular polypeta (hexateron, penteract, and pentacross), all three of which are convex. There are no regular star polytera.
