Super-regular polytopes in cyclotomic hypercubes
Abstract
For any odd prime and any integer , let be the set of vertices of the cyclotomic box of edge size and centered at the origin of the ring of integers of the cyclotomic field , where . Cyclotomic boxes represented as sets of points in the complex plane prove to have counter-intuitive super-regularity properties that are known to occur in high dimensional real hypercubes. Employing the naturally induced Euclidean-trace metric for distance measurement and letting the prime tend to infinity, we prove the following results. 1. Almost all triangles with vertices in are almost equilateral. 2. Almost all angles , where is in , is the origin, which coincides with the center of , and is fixed anywhere in , are right angles. 3. Almost all pyramids with base on and the apex fixed anywhere in are super-regular, meaning that the base has all edges and diagonals almost equal and the lateral faces are nearly isosceles triangles, each nearly equal to the others.
