چکیده

We review the regular tilings of d-sphere, Euclidean d-space, hyperbolic d-space and Coxeter's regular hyperbolic honeycombs (with innnite or star-shaped cells or vertex gures) with respect of possible embedding, isometric up to a scale, of their skeletons into a m-cube or m-dimensional cubic lattice. In section 2 the last remaining 2-dimensional case is decided: for any odd m 7, star-honeycombs m m 2 are embeddable while m 2 m are not (unique case of non-embedding for dimension 2). As a spherical analogue of those honeycombs, we enumerate, in section 3, 36 Riemann surfaces representing all nine regular polyhedra on the sphere. In section 4, non-embeddability of all remaining star-honeycombs (on 3-sphere and hyperbolic 4-space) is proved. In the last section 5, all cases of embedding for dimension d > 2 are identiied. Besides hyper-simplices and hyper-octahedra, they are exactly those with bipartite skeleton: hyper-cubes, cubic lattices and 8, 2, 1 tilings of hyperbolic 3-, 4-, 5-space (only two, 435 and 4335, of those 11 are compact).

Embedding the graphs of regular tilings and star-honeycombs into the graphs of hypercubes and cubic lattices

We review the regular tilings of d-sphere, Euclidean d-space, hyperbolic d-space and Coxeter’s regular hyperbolic honeycombs (with infinite or star-shaped cells or vertex figures) with respect of possible embedding, isometric up to a scale, of their skeletons into a m-cube or m-dimensional cubic lattice. In section 2 the last remaining 2-dimensional case is decided: for any odd m ≥ 7, star-hone...

Regular Honeycombs in Hyperbolic Space

made a study of honeycombs whose cells are equal regular polytopes in spaces of positive, zero, and negative curvature. The spherical and Euclidean honeycombs had already been described by Schlaf li (1855), but the only earlier mention of the hyperbolic honeycombs was when Stringham (1880, pp. 7, 12, and errata) discarded them as "imaginary figures", or, for the two-dimensional case, when Klein...

Tiling with Regular Star Polygons

The Archimedean tilings (Figure 1) and polyhedra will be familiar to many readers. They have the property that the tiles of the tiling, or the faces of the polyhedron, are regular polygons, and that the vertices form a single orbit under the symmetries of the tiling or polyhedron. (Grünbaum and Shephard [1] use Archimedean, in relation to tilings, to refer to the sequence of polygons at each ve...

We review 28 uniform partitions of 3-space in order to find out which of them have graphs (skeletons) embeddable isometrically (or with scale 2) into some cubic lattice Zn. We also consider some relatives of those 28 partitions, including Achimedean 4-polytopes of Conway-Guy, non-compact uniform partitions, Kelvin partitions and those with unique vertex figure (i.e. Delaunay star).
