In ten-dimensional geometry, a 10-polytope is a 10-dimensional polytope whose boundary consists of 9-polytope facets, exactly two such facets meeting at each 8-polytope ridge.

A uniform 10-polytope is one which is vertex-transitive, and constructed from uniform facets.

Regular 10-polytopes

Regular 10-polytopes can be represented by the Schläfli symbol {p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x}, with x {p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w} 9-polytope facets around each peak.

There are exactly three such convex regular 10-polytopes:

{3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3} - 10-simplex
{4,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3} - 10-cube
{3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,4} - 10-orthoplex

There are no nonconvex regular 10-polytopes.

Euler characteristic

The topology of any given 10-polytope is defined by its Betti numbers and torsion coefficients.^[1]

The value of the Euler characteristic used to characterise polyhedra does not generalize usefully to higher dimensions, and is zero for all 10-polytopes, whatever their underlying topology. This inadequacy of the Euler characteristic to reliably distinguish between different topologies in higher dimensions led to the discovery of the more sophisticated Betti numbers.^[1]

Similarly, the notion of orientability of a polyhedron is insufficient to characterise the surface twistings of toroidal polytopes, and this led to the use of torsion coefficients.^[1]

Uniform 10-polytopes by fundamental Coxeter groups

Uniform 10-polytopes with reflective symmetry can be generated by these three Coxeter groups, represented by permutations of rings of the Coxeter-Dynkin diagrams:

#	Coxeter group
1	A₁₀	[3⁹]
2	B₁₀	[4,3⁸]
3	D₁₀	[3^7,1,1]

Selected regular and uniform 10-polytopes from each family include:

Simplex family: A₁₀ [3⁹] -
- 527 uniform 10-polytopes as permutations of rings in the group diagram, including one regular:
  1. {3⁹} - 10-simplex -
Hypercube/orthoplex family: B₁₀ [4,3⁸] -
- 1023 uniform 10-polytopes as permutations of rings in the group diagram, including two regular ones:
  1. {4,3⁸} - 10-cube or dekeract -
  2. {3⁸,4} - 10-orthoplex or decacross -
  3. h{4,3⁸} - 10-demicube .
Demihypercube D₁₀ family: [3^7,1,1] -
- 767 uniform 10-polytopes as permutations of rings in the group diagram, including:
  1. 1_7,1 - 10-demicube or demidekeract -
  2. 7_1,1 - 10-orthoplex -

The A₁₀ family

The A₁₀ family has symmetry of order 39,916,800 (11 factorial).

There are 512+16-1=527 forms based on all permutations of the Coxeter-Dynkin diagrams with one or more rings. 31 are shown below: all one and two ringed forms, and the final omnitruncated form. Bowers-style acronym names are given in parentheses for cross-referencing.

The D₁₀ family

The D₁₀ family has symmetry of order 1,857,945,600 (10 factorial × 2⁹).

This family has 3×256−1=767 Wythoffian uniform polytopes, generated by marking one or more nodes of the D₁₀ Coxeter-Dynkin diagram. Of these, 511 (2×256−1) are repeated from the B₁₀ family and 256 are unique to this family, with 2 listed below. Bowers-style acronym names are given in parentheses for cross-referencing.

Regular and uniform honeycombs

There are four fundamental affine Coxeter groups that generate regular and uniform tessellations in 9-space:

#	Coxeter group
1	${\tilde {A}}_{9}$	[3^[10]]
2	${\tilde {B}}_{9}$	[4,3⁷,4]
3	${\tilde {C}}_{9}$	h[4,3⁷,4] [4,3⁶,3^1,1]
4	${\tilde {D}}_{9}$	q[4,3⁷,4] [3^1,1,3⁵,3^1,1]

Regular and uniform tessellations include:

Regular 9-hypercubic honeycomb, with symbols {4,3⁷,4},
Uniform alternated 9-hypercubic honeycomb with symbols h{4,3⁷,4},

Regular and uniform hyperbolic honeycombs

There are no compact hyperbolic Coxeter groups of rank 10, groups that can generate honeycombs with all finite facets, and a finite vertex figure. However, there are 3 paracompact hyperbolic Coxeter groups of rank 9, each generating uniform honeycombs in 9-space as permutations of rings of the Coxeter diagrams.

${\bar {Q}}_{9}$ = [3^1,1,3⁴,3^2,1]:	${\bar {S}}_{9}$ = [4,3⁵,3^2,1]:	$E_{10}$ or ${\bar {T}}_{9}$ = [3^6,2,1]:

Three honeycombs from the $E_{10}$ family, generated by end-ringed Coxeter diagrams are:
