Order-6 hexagonal tiling
In geometry, the order-6 hexagonal tiling is a regular tiling of the hyperbolic plane. It has Schläfli symbol of and is self-dual.Symmetry
This tiling represents a hyperbolic kaleidoscope of 6 mirrors defining a regular hexagon fundamental domain. This symmetry by orbifold notation is called *333333 with 6 order-3 mirror intersections. In Coxeter notation can be represented as , removing two of three mirrors in the symmetry.
The even/odd fundamental domains of this kaleidoscope can be seen in the alternating colorings of the tiling:Related polyhedra and tiling
This tiling is topologically related as a part of sequence of regular tilings with order-6 vertices with Schläfli symbol, and Coxeter diagram, progressing to infinity.
This tiling is topologically related as a part of sequence of regular tilings with hexagonal faces, starting with the hexagonal tiling, with Schläfli symbol, and Coxeter diagram, progressing to infinity.
