Uniform tilings in hyperbolic planeIn hyperbolic geometry, a uniform hyperbolic tiling (or regular, quasiregular or semiregular hyperbolic tiling) is an edge-to-edge filling of the hyperbolic plane which has regular polygons as faces and is vertex-transitive (transitive on its vertices, isogonal, i.e. there is an isometry mapping any vertex onto any other). It follows that all vertices are congruent, and the tiling has a high degree of rotational and translational symmetry.
Pavage hexagonal tronquéIn geometry, the truncated hexagonal tiling is a semiregular tiling of the Euclidean plane. There are 2 dodecagons (12-sides) and one triangle on each vertex. As the name implies this tiling is constructed by a truncation operation applies to a hexagonal tiling, leaving dodecagons in place of the original hexagons, and new triangles at the original vertex locations. It is given an extended Schläfli symbol of t{6,3}. Conway calls it a truncated hextille, constructed as a truncation operation applied to a hexagonal tiling (hextille).
Pavage grand rhombitrihexagonalIn geometry, the truncated trihexagonal tiling is one of eight semiregular tilings of the Euclidean plane. There are one square, one hexagon, and one dodecagon on each vertex. It has Schläfli symbol of tr{3,6}. There is only one uniform coloring of a truncated trihexagonal tiling, with faces colored by polygon sides. A 2-uniform coloring has two colors of hexagons. 3-uniform colorings can have 3 colors of dodecagons or 3 colors of squares.
Pavage petit rhombitrihexagonalIn geometry, the rhombitrihexagonal tiling is a semiregular tiling of the Euclidean plane. There are one triangle, two squares, and one hexagon on each vertex. It has Schläfli symbol of rr{3,6}. John Conway calls it a rhombihexadeltille. It can be considered a cantellated by Norman Johnson's terminology or an expanded hexagonal tiling by Alicia Boole Stott's operational language. There are three regular and eight semiregular tilings in the plane. There is only one uniform coloring in a rhombitrihexagonal tiling.
Pavage trihexagonalLe pavage trihexagonal est, en géométrie, un pavage semi-régulier du plan euclidien, constitué de triangles équilatéraux et d'hexagones. Au Japon, ce pavage est utilisé en vannerie sous le nom de Kagomé. En physique, ce pavage est appelé réseau de Kagomé d'après le terme japonais. On l'observe dans la structure cristalline de certains matériaux, notamment l'herbertsmithite. Il est très étudié en magnétisme car sa frustration géométrique génère des phases magnétiques exotiques, comme le liquide de spin. Tri
List of Euclidean uniform tilingsThis table shows the 11 convex uniform tilings (regular and semiregular) of the Euclidean plane, and their dual tilings. There are three regular and eight semiregular tilings in the plane. The semiregular tilings form new tilings from their duals, each made from one type of irregular face. John Conway called these uniform duals Catalan tilings, in parallel to the Catalan solid polyhedra. Uniform tilings are listed by their vertex configuration, the sequence of faces that exist on each vertex. For example 4.
Pavage hexagonal adouciIn geometry, the snub hexagonal tiling (or snub trihexagonal tiling) is a semiregular tiling of the Euclidean plane. There are four triangles and one hexagon on each vertex. It has Schläfli symbol sr{3,6}. The snub tetrahexagonal tiling is a related hyperbolic tiling with Schläfli symbol sr{4,6}. Conway calls it a snub hextille, constructed as a snub operation applied to a hexagonal tiling (hextille). There are three regular and eight semiregular tilings in the plane. This is the only one which does not have a reflection as a symmetry.
Rhombille tilingIn geometry, the rhombille tiling, also known as tumbling blocks, reversible cubes, or the dice lattice, is a tessellation of identical 60° rhombi on the Euclidean plane. Each rhombus has two 60° and two 120° angles; rhombi with this shape are sometimes also called diamonds. Sets of three rhombi meet at their 120° angles, and sets of six rhombi meet at their 60° angles. The rhombille tiling can be seen as a subdivision of a hexagonal tiling with each hexagon divided into three rhombi meeting at the center point of the hexagon.
Uniform polytopeIn geometry, a uniform polytope of dimension three or higher is a vertex-transitive polytope bounded by uniform facets. The uniform polytopes in two dimensions are the regular polygons (the definition is different in 2 dimensions to exclude vertex-transitive even-sided polygons that alternate two different lengths of edges). This is a generalization of the older category of semiregular polytopes, but also includes the regular polytopes. Further, star regular faces and vertex figures (star polygons) are allowed, which greatly expand the possible solutions.
Diagramme de Coxeter-DynkinEn géométrie, un diagramme de Coxeter-Dynkin est un graphe représentant un ensemble relationnel de miroirs (ou d'hyperplans de réflexion) dans l'espace pour une construction kaléidoscopique. En tant que graphe lui-même, le diagramme représente les groupes de Coxeter, chaque nœud du graphe représente un miroir (facette du domaine) et chaque branche du graphe représente l'ordre de l'angle diédral entre deux miroirs (sur une arête du domaine). En plus, les graphes ont des anneaux (cercles) autour des nœuds pour les miroirs actifs représentant un polytope précis.
