The digonal gyrobicupolic ring is a special member of the set of bicupolic rings. Unlike the others, only the gyro- form is possible, since ortho- or magna- forms would be degenerate. Its cells are 1 tetrahedron, 4 square pyramids and 2 triangular prisms. Its faces are 1+4 squares and 4+4+4 triangles. It has 2+4+4+8 edges and 4+4 vertices.
Keiji studied it explicitly to try to understand more about the segmentochora.
Construction
It is possible to construct the digonal gyrobicupolic ring from three different pairs of polytopes:
ExPar: [#img] is obsolete, use [#embed] instead Square pyramid and opposite triangle highlighted | ExPar: [#img] is obsolete, use [#embed] instead Tetrahedron and opposite square highlighted | ExPar: [#img] is obsolete, use [#embed] instead Triangular prism and opposite digon highlighted |
This segmentochoron also arises from a bidiminishing of the 3-pyrotomochoron. First, delete any vertex from the 3-pyrotomochoron. That forms the (mono)diminished 3-pyrotomochoron, better known as the trigonal biantiprismatic ring, or K4.6; its cells are 1 triangular prism, 2 octahedra, 3 square pyramids, and 3 tetrahedra. It can be constructed as trigonal prism || gyrated triangle; if a vertex from the gyrated triangle is deleted, it will create a second triangular prism, thus resulting in this segmentochoron.
