Octahedral-hexagonal tiling honeycomb Octahedral-hexagonal tiling honeycomb In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space, the octahedron-hexagonal tiling honeycomb is a paracompact uniform honeycomb, constructed from octahedron, hexagonal tiling, and trihexagonal tiling cells, in a rhombicuboctahedron vertex figure. It has a single-ring Coxeter diagram, , and is named by its two regular cells. A lower symmetry form, index 6, of this honeycomb can be constructed with [(6,3,4,3)] symmetry, represented by a trigonal trapezohedron fundamental domain, and a Coxeter diagram . The cyclotruncated octahedral-hexagonal tiling honeycomb is a compact uniform honeycomb, constructed from hexagonal tiling, cube, and truncated octahedron cells, in a triangular antiprism vertex figure. It
Honeycomb (geometry) polyhedral cells, and having all vertices the same (i.e., the group of [isometries of 3-space that preserve the tiling] is "transitive on vertices"). There are 28 convex examples in Euclidean 3-space, also called the Archimedean honeycombs. A honeycomb is called regular if the group of isometries preserving the tiling acts transitively on flags, where a flag is a vertex lying on an edge lying on a face lying on a cell. Every regular honeycomb is automatically uniform. However, there is just one regular honeycomb in Euclidean 3-space, the cubic honeycomb. Two are "quasiregular" (made from two types of regular cells):
