In geometry, the order-6 apeirogonal tiling is a regular tiling of the hyperbolic plane. It has Schläfli symbol of {∞,6}.
Symmetry The dual to this tiling represents the fundamental domains of [∞,6*] symmetry, orbifold notation *∞∞∞∞∞∞ symmetry, a hexagonal domain with five ideal vertices.
The order-6 apeirogonal tiling can be uniformly colored with 6 colored apeirogons around each vertex, and coxeter diagram: , except ultraparallel branches on the diagonals.
Related polyhedra and tiling
This tiling is also topologically related as a part of sequence of regular polyhedra and tilings with six faces per vertex, starting with the triangular tiling, with Schläfli symbol {n,6}, and Coxeter diagram , with n progressing to infinity.
