Uniform honeycombs in hyperbolic space

In hyperbolic geometry, a uniform honeycomb in hyperbolic space is a uniform tessellation of uniform polyhedral cells. In 3-dimensional hyperbolic space there are nine Coxeter group families of compact convex uniform honeycombs, generated as Wythoff constructions, and represented by permutations of rings of the Coxeter diagrams for each family.

Four compact regular hyperbolic honeycombs

Order-4 dodecahedral honeycomb {5,3,4}	Order-5 dodecahedral honeycomb {5,3,5}
Order-5 cubic honeycomb {4,3,5}	Icosahedral honeycomb {3,5,3}
Poincaré ball model projections

Honeycombs are divided between compact and paracompact forms defined by Coxeter groups, the first category only including finite cells and vertex figures (finite subgroups), and the second includes affine subgroups.

The nine compact Coxeter groups are listed here with their Coxeter diagrams,^[1] in order of the relative volumes of their fundamental simplex domains.^[2]

These 9 families generate a total of 76 unique uniform honeycombs. The full list of hyperbolic uniform honeycombs has not been proven and an unknown number of non-Wythoffian forms exist. Two known examples are cited with the {3,5,3} family below. Only two families are related as a mirror-removal halving: [5,3^1,1] ↔ [5,3,4,1⁺].

There are just two radical subgroups with non-simplicial domains that can be generated by removing a set of two or more mirrors separated by all other mirrors by even-order branches. One is [(4,3,4,3^*)], represented by Coxeter diagrams an index 6 subgroup with a trigonal trapezohedron fundamental domain ↔ , which can be extended by restoring one mirror as . The other is [4,(3,5)^*], index 120 with a dodecahedral fundamental domain.

There are also 23 paracompact Coxeter groups of rank 4 that produce paracompact uniform honeycombs with infinite or unbounded facets or vertex figure, including ideal vertices at infinity.

Other paracompact Coxeter groups exists as Vinberg polytope fundamental domains, including these triangular bipyramid fundamental domains (double tetrahedra) as rank 5 graphs including parallel mirrors. Uniform honeycombs exist as all permutations of rings in these graphs, with the constraint that at least one node must be ringed across infinite order branches.

There are 9 forms, generated by ring permutations of the Coxeter group: [3,5,3] or

One related non-wythoffian form is constructed from the {3,5,3} vertex figure with 4 (tetrahedrally arranged) vertices removed, creating pentagonal antiprisms and dodecahedra filling in the gaps, called a tetrahedrally diminished dodecahedron.^[3] Another is constructed with 2 antipodal vertices removed.^[4]

The bitruncated and runcinated forms (5 and 6) contain the faces of two regular skew polyhedrons: {4,10|3} and {10,4|3}.

There are infinitely many known non-Wythoffian uniform compact hyperbolic honeycombs, and there may be more undiscovered ones. Two have been listed above as diminishings of the icosahedral honeycomb {3,5,3}.^[6]

In 1997 Wendy Krieger discovered an infinite series of uniform hyperbolic honeycombs with pseudoicosahedral vertex figures, made from 8 cubes and 12 p-gonal prisms at a vertex for any integer p. In the case p = 4, all cells are cubes and the result is the order-5 cubic honeycomb. The case p = 2 degenerates to the Euclidean cubic honeycomb.^[6]

Another four known ones are related to noncompact families. The tessellation consists of truncated cubes and infinite order-8 triangular tilings . However the latter intersect the sphere at infinity orthogonally, having exactly the same curvature as the hyperbolic space, and can be replaced by mirror images of the remainder of the tessellation, resulting in a compact uniform honeycomb consisting only of the truncated cubes. (So they are analogous to the hemi-faces of spherical hemipolyhedra.)^[6][7] Something similar can be done with the tessellation consisting of small rhombicuboctahedra , infinite order-8 triangular tilings , and infinite order-8 square tilings . The order-8 square tilings already intersect the sphere at infinity orthogonally, and if the order-8 triangular tilings are augmented with a set of triangular prisms, the surface passing through their centre points also intersects the sphere at infinity orthogonally. After replacing with mirror images, the result is a compact honeycomb containing the small rhombicuboctahedra and the triangular prisms.^[8] Two more such constructions were discovered in 2023. The first one arises from the fact that and have the same circumradius; the former has truncated octahedra and order-6 square tilings , while the latter has cuboctahedra and order-6 square tilings . A compact uniform honeycomb is taken by discarding the order-6 square tilings they have in common, using only the truncated octahedra and cuboctahedra. The second one arises from a similar construction involving (which has small rhombicosidodecahedra , octahedra , and order-4 pentagonal tilings ) and (which is the prism of the order-4 pentagonal tiling, having pentagonal prisms and order-4 pentagonal tilings ). These two likewise have the same circumradius, and a compact uniform honeycomb is taken by using only the finite cells of both, discarding the order-4 pentagonal tilings they have in common.^[9]

Another non-Wythoffian was discovered in 2021. It has as vertex figure a snub cube with 8 vertices removed and contains two octahedra and eight snub cubes at each vertex.^[6] Subsequently Krieger found a non-Wythoffian with a snub cube as the vertex figure, containing 32 tetrahedra and 6 octahedra at each vertex, and that the truncated and rectified versions of this honeycomb are still uniform. In 2022, Richard Klitzing generalised this construction to use any snub as vertex figure: the result is compact for p=4 or 5 (with a snub cube or snub dodecahedral vertex figure respectively), paracompact for p=6 (with a snub trihexagonal tiling as the vertex figure), and hypercompact for p>6. Again, the truncated and rectified versions of these honeycombs are still uniform.^[6]

There are also other forms based on parallelepiped domains. Two known forms generalise the cubic-octahedral honeycomb, having distorted small rhombicuboctahedral vertex figures. One form has small rhombicuboctahedra, cuboctahedra, and cubes; another has small rhombicosidodecahedra, icosidodecahedra, and cubes. (The version with tetrahedral-symmetry polyhedra is the cubic-octahedral honeycomb, using cuboctahedra, octahedra, and cubes).^[9]

This is the complete enumeration of the 76 Wythoffian uniform honeycombs. The alternations are listed for completeness, but most are non-uniform.
