In four-dimensional geometry

uniform polyhedra, but add a third category called duoprism
s, constructed as a product of two regular polygons.
The prismatic uniform polychora consist of two infinite families:
. The cells of such a polychoron are two identical uniform polyhedra lying in parallel hyperplane
s (the base cells) and a layer of prisms joining them (the lateral cells). This family includes prisms for the 75 nonprismatic uniform polyhedra
(of which 18 are convex; one of these, the cube-prism, is listed above as the tesseract).
There are 18 convex polyhedral prisms created from 5 Platonic solid

This family overlaps with the first: when one of the two "factor" polygons is a square, the product is equivalent to a hyperprism whose base is a three-dimensional prism. The symmetry number of a duoprism whose factors are a p-gon and a q-gon (a "p,q-duoprism") is 4pq if p≠q; if the factors are both p-gons, the symmetry number is 8p2. The tesseract can also be considered a 4,4-duoprism.
The elements of a p,q-duoprism (p ≥ 3, q ≥ 3) are:
There is no uniform analogue in four dimensions to the infinite family of three-dimensional antiprism

The infinite sets of uniform antiprismatic prism
s are constructed from two parallel uniform antiprism
s: (p≥3) - - 2 p-gonal antiprisms, connected by 2 p-gonal prisms and 2p triangular prisms.
A p-gonal antiprismatic prism has 4p triangle, 4p square and 4 p-gon faces. It has 10p edges, and 4p vertices.

The most obvious family of prismatic polychora is the polyhedral prisms, i.e. products of a polyhedron with a line segmentLine segment
In geometry, a line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by two end points, and contains every point on the line between its end points. Examples of line segments include the sides of a triangle or square. More generally, when the end points are both vertices of a polygon, the line segment...

is of the form
This family overlaps with the first: when one of the two "factor" polygons is a square, the product is equivalent to a hyperprism whose base is a three-dimensional prism. The symmetry number of a duoprism whose factors are a p-gon and a q-gon (a "p,q-duoprism") is 4pq if p≠q; if the factors are both p-gons, the symmetry number is 8p2. The tesseract can also be considered a 4,4-duoprism.
The elements of a p,q-duoprism (p ≥ 3, q ≥ 3) are:
- Cells: p q-gonal prisms, q p-gonal prisms
- Faces: pq squares, p q-gons, q p-gons
- Edges: 2pq
- Vertices: pq
