Template:Tesseract subspaces; overview

Nested in the following collapsible tables are projections of all 116 subspaces together with a list of the positive face centers they contain.
The balanced ternary coordinates suggest a tesseract with ±1 vertex coordinates, i.e. with edge length 2. Anyway, the lengths mentioned below refer to a tesseract with edge length 1.

Each subspace is the set of fixed points of at least one permutation. If there is more than one, they are shown in a 16×24 matrix.

76 subspaces of 9 types have a unique self-inverse permutation. The pair of this permutation is shown next to the projection of the subspace.
The self-inverse permutation is unique (e.g. a 180° rotation), but there can be other permutations with the same set of fixed points (e.g. two 90° rotations).

4-dimensional

[edit]

The tesseract contains all of the 81 face centers.
So its set of positive face centers is the whole list from to .

Only the neutral permutation leaves the whole tesseract unchanged.

permutations

The origin has the coordinate and number value . So its set of positive face centers is empty.

105 permutations in 5 conjugacy classes leave only the origin unchanged.
