Schläfli symbol {7,3,5}
Coxeter diagram
Cells {7,3}
Faces Heptagon {7}
Vertex figure icosahedron {3,5}
Dual {5,3,7}
Coxeter group [7,3,5]
Properties Regular

In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space, the order-3-5 heptagonal honeycomb a regular space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb). Each infinite cell consists of a heptagonal tiling whose vertices lie on a 2-hypercycle, each of which has a limiting circle on the ideal sphere.

Geometry

[edit]

The Schläfli symbol of the order-3-5 heptagonal honeycomb is {7,3,5}, with five heptagonal tilings meeting at each edge. The vertex figure of this honeycomb is an icosahedron, {3,5}.
