Abstract

For any given dimension d, all reflexive d-polytopes can be found (in principle) as subpolytopes of a number of maximal polyhedra that are defined in terms of (d + 1)-tuples of integers (weights), or combinations of k-tuples of weights with k < d + 1. We present the results of a complete classification of sextuples of weights pertaining to the construction of all reflexive polytopes in five dimensions. We find 322,383,760,930 such weight systems. 185,269,499,015 of them give rise directly to reflexive polytopes and thereby to mirror pairs of Calabi–Yau fourfolds. These leads to 532,600,483 distinct sets of Hodge numbers.
