Geometry

edit

All vertices are ultra-ideal (existing beyond the ideal boundary) with five order-4 pentagonal tilings existing around each edge and with an order-5 square tiling vertex figure.

Properties Regular

In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space, the order-4-6 hexagonal honeycomb is a regular space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) with Schläfli symbol {6,3,6}. It has six order-4 hexagonal tilings, {6,4}, around each edge. All vertices are ultra-ideal (existing beyond the ideal boundary) with infinitely many hexagonal tilings existing around each vertex in an order-6 square tiling vertex arrangement.
