Properties Regular

In hyperbolic geometry, the order-5 cubic honeycomb is one of four compact regular space-filling tessellations (or honeycombs) in hyperbolic 3-space. With Schläfli symbol {4,3,5}, it has five cubes {4,3} around each edge, and 20 cubes around each vertex. It is dual with the order-4 dodecahedral honeycomb.

A geometric honeycomb is a space-filling of polyhedral or higher-dimensional cells, so that there are no gaps. It is an example of the more general mathematical tiling or tessellation in any number of dimensions.

Honeycombs are usually constructed in ordinary Euclidean ("flat") space, like the convex uniform honeycombs. They may also be constructed in non-Euclidean spaces, such as hyperbolic uniform honeycombs. Any finite uniform polytope can be projected to its circumsphere to form a uniform honeycomb in spherical space.

Description

[edit]
It is analogous to the 2D hyperbolic order-5 square tiling, {4,5}

Symmetry

[edit]

It has a radical subgroup symmetry construction with dodecahedral fundamental domains: Coxeter notation: [4,(3,5)*], index 120.

[edit]

The order-5 cubic honeycomb has a related alternated honeycomb, , with icosahedron and tetrahedron cells.

The honeycomb is also one of four regular compact honeycombs in 3D hyperbolic space:
