PropertiesRegular

In the geometry of hyperbolic 4-space, the cubic honeycomb honeycomb is one of two paracompact regular space-filling tessellations (or honeycombs). It is called paracompact because it has infinite facets, whose vertices exist on 3-horospheres and converge to a single ideal point at infinity. With Schläfli symbol {4,3,4,3}, it has three cubic honeycombs around each face, and with a {3,4,3} vertex figure. It is dual to the order-4 24-cell honeycomb.

Contents

It is related to the Euclidean 4-space 16-cell honeycomb, {3,3,4,3}, which also has a 24-cell vertex figure.

It is analogous to the paracompact tesseractic honeycomb honeycomb, {4,3,3,4,3}, in 5-dimensional hyperbolic space, square tiling honeycomb, {4,4,3}, in 3-dimensional hyperbolic space, and the order-3 apeirogonal tiling, {∞,3} of 2-dimensional hyperbolic space, each with hypercube honeycomb facets.
