Order-5-3 square honeycomb

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space, the order-5-3 square honeycomb or 4,5,3 honeycomb a regular space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb). Each infinite cell consists of a pentagonal tiling whose vertices lie on a 2-hypercycle, each of which has a limiting circle on the ideal sphere.
