In the
geometry of
hyperbolic 3-space, the
order-3-5 heptagonal honeycomb a regular space-filling
tessellation (or
honeycomb). Each infinite cell consists of a
heptagonal tiling whose vertices lie on a
2-hypercycle, each of which has a limiting circle on the ideal sphere.
Geometry
The Schläfli symbol of the order-3-5 heptagonal honeycomb is, with five heptagonal tilings meeting at each edge. The vertex figure of this honeycomb is an icosahedron, .
