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

Geometry

The Schläfli symbol of the order-3-5 heptagonal honeycomb is {7,3,5}, with five heptagonal tilings meeting at each edge. The vertex figure of this honeycomb is an icosahedron, {3,5}.
