In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space, the order-5-3 square honeycomb or 4,5,3 honeycomb a regular space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb). Each infinite cell consists of a pentagonal 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-5-3 square honeycomb is {4,5,3}, with three order-4 pentagonal tilings meeting at each edge. The vertex figure of this honeycomb is a dodecahedron, {5,3}.
