order-5 apeirogonal tiling

{{Uniform hyperbolic tiles db|Reg hyperbolic tiling stat table|Ui5_0}}

In geometry, the order-5 apeirogonal tiling is a regular tiling of the hyperbolic plane. It has Schläfli symbol of {∞,5}.

Symmetry

The dual to this tiling represents the fundamental domains of [∞,5*] symmetry, orbifold notation *∞∞∞∞∞ symmetry, a pentagonal domain with five ideal vertices.

The order-5 apeirogonal tiling can be uniformly colored with 5 colored apeirogons around each vertex, and coxeter diagram: {{CDD|labelinfin|branch_11|iaib|nodes_11|split2-ii|node_1}}, 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 five faces per vertex, starting with the icosahedron, with Schläfli symbol {n,5}, and Coxeter diagram {{CDD|node_1|n|node|5|node}}, with n progressing to infinity.
