There are no nonconvex Euclidean regular tessellations in any number of dimensions.
The elements of a polytope can be considered according to either their own dimensionality or how many dimensions "down" they are from the body.
Vertex, a 0-dimensional elementEdge, a 1-dimensional elementFace, a 2-dimensional elementCell, a 3-dimensional elementHypercell or Teron, a 4-dimensional elementFacet, an (n-1)-dimensional elementRidge, an (n-2)-dimensional elementPeak, an (n-3)-dimensional elementFor example, in a polyhedron (3-dimensional polytope), a face is a facet, an edge is a ridge, and a vertex is a peak.
Vertex figure: not itself an element of a polytope, but a diagram showing how the elements meet.The classical convex polytopes may be considered tessellations, or tilings, of spherical space. Tessellations of euclidean and hyperbolic space may also be considered regular polytopes. Note that an 'n'-dimensional polytope actually tessellates a space of one dimension less. For example, the (three-dimensional) platonic solids tessellate the 'two'-dimensional 'surface' of the sphere.
PointThere is only one polytope in 1 dimension, whose boundaries are the two endpoints of a line segment, represented by the empty Schläfli symbol {}.
