In geometry, the order-5 apeirogonal tiling is a regular tiling of the hyperbolic plane. It has Schläfli symbol of {∞,5}.

Symmetry

The dual to this tiling represents the fundamental domains of [∞,5*] symmetry, orbifold notation *∞∞∞∞∞ symmetry, a pentagonal domain with five ideal vertices.

The Order-5 apeirogonal tiling can be uniformly colored with 5 colored apeirogons around each vertex, and coxeter diagram: , except ultraparallel branches on the diagonals.

Related polyhedra and tiling

This tiling is also topologically related as a part of sequence of regular polyhedra and tilings with four faces per vertex, starting with the octahedron, with Schläfli symbol {n,5}, and Coxeter diagram , with n progressing to infinity.
