3-7 kisrhombille

In geometry, the 3-7 kisrhombille tiling is a semiregular dual tiling of the hyperbolic plane. It is constructed by congruent right triangles with 4, 6, and 14 triangles meeting at each vertex. The image shows a Poincaré disk model projection of the hyperbolic plane. It is labeled V4.6.14 because each right triangle face has three types of vertices: one with 4 triangles, one with 6 triangles, and one with 14 triangles. It is the dual tessellation of the truncated triheptagonal tiling which has one square and one heptagon and one tetrakaidecagon at each vertex. The name 3-7 kisrhombille is given by Conway, seeing it as a 3-7 rhombic tiling, divided by a kis operator, adding a center point to each rhombus, and dividing into four triangles. There are no mirror removal subgroups of [7,3]. The only small index subgroup is the alternation, [7,3]+, (732). Three isohedral (regular or quasiregular) tilings can be constructed from this tiling by combining triangles: It is topologically related to a polyhedra sequence; see discussion. This group is special for having all even number of edges per vertex and form bisecting planes through the polyhedra and infinite lines in the plane, and are the reflection domains for the (2,3,n) triangle groups – for the heptagonal tiling, the important (2,3,7) triangle group. See also the uniform tilings of the hyperbolic plane with (2,3,7) symmetry. The kisrhombille tilings can be seen as from the sequence of rhombille tilings, starting with the cube, with faces divided or kissed at the corners by a face central point. Just as the (2,3,7) triangle group is a quotient of the modular group (2,3,∞), the associated tiling is the quotient of the modular tiling, as depicted in the video at right.

Disque de Poincaré

En géométrie, le disque de Poincaré (appelé aussi représentation conforme) est un modèle du plan hyperbolique, ou plus généralement de la géométrie hyperbolique à n dimensions, où les points sont situés dans la boule unité ouverte de dimension n et les droites sont soit des arcs de cercles contenus dans cette boule et orthogonaux à sa frontière, soit des diamètres de la boule. En plus du modèle de Klein et du demi-plan de Poincaré, il a été proposé par Eugenio Beltrami pour démontrer que la consistance de la géométrie hyperbolique était équivalente à la consistance de la géométrie euclidienne.

Uniform tilings in hyperbolic plane

In 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.

Heptagonal tiling

In geometry, a heptagonal tiling is a regular tiling of the hyperbolic plane. It is represented by Schläfli symbol of {7,3}, having three regular heptagons around each vertex. This tiling is topologically related as a part of sequence of regular polyhedra with Schläfli symbol {n,3}. From a Wythoff construction there are eight hyperbolic uniform tilings that can be based from the regular heptagonal tiling. Drawing the tiles colored as red on the original faces, yellow at the original vertices, and blue along the original edges, there are 8 forms.
