Coxeter diagram
=
Cells {7,3}
Faces heptagon {7}
Vertex figure octahedron {3,4}
Dual {4,3,7}
Coxeter group [7,3,4]
Properties Regular

In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space, the order-3-4 heptagonal honeycomb or 7,3,4 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-3-4 heptagonal honeycomb is {7,3,4}, with four heptagonal tilings meeting at each edge. The vertex figure of this honeycomb is an octahedron, {3,4}.
