In 4-dimensional geometry, a uniform antiprismatic prism is a uniform polychoron with two uniform antiprism cells in two parallel 3-space hyperplanes, connected by uniform prisms cells between pairs of faces.
A p-gonal antiprismatic prism has 4p triangle, 4p square and 4 p-gon faces. It has 10p edges, and 4p vertices.
The convex set includes:
- Triangular antiprismatic prism -
- 2 octahedra connected by 8 triangular prisms (same as the octahedral prism) - Square antiprismatic prism -
- 2 square antiprisms connected by 2 cubes and 8 triangular prisms - Pentagonal antiprismatic prism -
- 2 pentagonal antiprisms connected by 2 pentagonal prisms and 10 triangular prisms - Hexagonal antiprismatic prism -
- 2 hexagonal antiprisms connected by 2 hexagonal prisms and 12 triangular prisms - Heptagonal antiprismatic prism -
- 2 heptagonal antiprisms connected by 2 heptagonal prisms and 14 triangular prisms - Octagonal antiprismatic prism -
- 2 octagonal antiprisms connected by 2 octagonal prisms and 16 triangular prisms - ...
There are also nonconvex forms following the set of star antiprisms:
- Pentagrammic antiprismatic prism -
- 2 pentagrammic antiprisms connected by 2 pentagrammic prisms and 10 triangular prisms - Pentagrammic crossed antiprismatic prism -
- 2 pentagrammic crossed antiprisms connected by 2 pentagrammic prisms and 10 triangular prisms - ...
