1 33 honeycomb

It is created by a Wythoff construction upon a set of 8 hyperplane mirrors in 7-dimensional space.

The facet information can be extracted from its Coxeter-Dynkin diagram.

Removing a node on the end of one of the 3-length branch leaves the 1₃₂, its only facet type.

The vertex figure is determined by removing the ringed node and ringing the neighboring node. This makes the trirectified 7-simplex, 0₃₃.

The edge figure is determined by removing the ringed nodes of the vertex figure and ringing the neighboring node. This makes the tetrahedral duoprism, {3,3}×{3,3}.

Each vertex of this polytope corresponds to the center of a 6-sphere in a moderately dense sphere packing, in which each sphere is tangent to 70 others; the best known for 7 dimensions (the kissing number) is 126.

The ${\displaystyle {\tilde {E}}_{7}}$ group is related to the ${\displaystyle {\tilde {F}}_{4}}$ by a geometric folding, so this honeycomb can be projected into the 4-dimensional demitesseractic honeycomb.

${\displaystyle {\tilde {E}}_{7}}$ contains ${\displaystyle {\tilde {A}}_{7}}$ as a subgroup of index 144.^[2] Both ${\displaystyle {\tilde {E}}_{7}}$ and ${\displaystyle {\tilde {A}}_{7}}$ can be seen as affine extension from ${\displaystyle A_{7}}$ from different nodes:

The E₇^* lattice (also called E₇²)^[3] has double the symmetry, represented by [[3,3^3,3]]. The Voronoi cell of the E₇^* lattice is the 1₃₂ polytope, and voronoi tessellation the 1₃₃ honeycomb.^[4] The E₇^* lattice is constructed by 2 copies of the E₇ lattice vertices, one from each long branch of the Coxeter diagram, and can be constructed as the union of four A₇^* lattices, also called A₇⁴:

∪ = ∪ ∪ ∪ = dual of .

The 1₃₃ is fourth in a dimensional series of uniform polytopes and honeycombs, expressed by Coxeter as 1_3k series. The final is a noncompact hyperbolic honeycomb, 1₃₄.
