User:Double sharp/List of uniform tilings by Schwarz triangle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yes, I'm fully aware that this is a misnomer: Schwarz triangles are spherical. I should really be referring to Coxeter polytopes (since we're referring to tilings of E2/H2, I could say Coxeter polygons.)

This is the Euclidean and hyperbolic version of List of uniform polyhedra by Schwarz triangle.

What exactly sabotages {5,10/3}, {5/2,10}, {7,14/5}, {7/2,14/3}, {7/3,14} etc. and makes them have infinite density though they'd fit in the plane? – ah, I see, from Regular Polytopes (3rd ed.), p.108: they would have rotational symmetries that are not 2-, 3-, 4-, or 6-fold, which we know to be impossible.

Basically what we need is:

Add and subtract interior angles of {3} (60°), {4} (90°), {6} (120°), {8} (135°), {8/3} (45°), {12} (150°), {12/5} (30°), {∞} (180°) to yield some multiple of 360°. This will determine a candidate vertex figure. We may reject everything containing consecutive positive and negative terms of the same angle as degenerate. Some candidates may also be excluded by symmetric concerns, such as {8/3, 8} above. (Though we need to prove that only the above tiles are possible.) However such a bald listing ends up creating lots of junk as well...

Summary table

[edit]
The eight forms for the Wythoff constructions from a general triangle (p q r).

There are seven generator points with each set of p,q,r (and a few special forms):

| p q r s (4.p.4.q.4.r.4.s)/2 - - - -

There are three special cases:

  • p q (r s) | – This is a mixture of p q r | and p q s |.
  • | p q r – Snub forms (alternated) are give this otherwise unused symbol.
  • | p q r s – A unique snub form for U75 that isn't Wythoff-constructible.

Euclidean tilings

[edit]

The only plane triangles that tile the plane once over are (3 3 3), (4 2 4), and (3 2 6): they are respectively the equilateral triangle, the 45-45-90 right isosceles triangle, and the 30-60-90 right triangle. It follows that any plane triangle tiling the plane multiple times must be built up from multiple copies of one of these. The only possibility is the 30-120-120 isosceles triangle (3/2 6 6) = (6 2 3) + (2 6 3) tiling the plane twice over. Each triangle counts twice with opposite orientations, with a branch point at the 120° vertices.[1]

The tiling {∞,2} made from two apeirogons is not accepted, because its faces meet at more than one edge. Here ∞' denotes the retrograde counterpart to ∞.

The degenerate named forms are:

  • chatit: compound of 3 hexagonal tilings + triangular tiling
  • chata: compound of 3 hexagonal tilings + triangular tiling + double covers of apeirogons along all edge sequences
  • cha: compound of 3 hexagonal tilings + double covers of apeirogons along all edge sequences
  • cosa: square tiling + double covers of apeirogons along all edge sequences

Hyperbolic

[edit]

OK, apparently the hyperbolic fundamental domains are called Lannér triangles (compact) per Coxeter–Dynkin diagram#Hyperbolic Coxeter groups, Koszul triangles (paracompact) and Vinberg triangles (noncompact). But these are only right for simplices, no? So in general I'd write "Coxeter polygons" again.

Symmetry mutations

[edit]

(should really also add *333, but this is a start, from Mandara: The World of Uniform Tessellations

Families which contain only degenerate members (e.g. the quasitruncated {3,n}) are not shown; neither are those Wythoff symbols that already contain reducible fractions. Those that turn out to be degenerate anyway but do not satisfy either criterion are still shown. In some cases I have naughtily silently corrected the "doubled" constructions of the hemipolyhedra. Some of the Euclidean families involving {∞} correspond quite nicely to the hemipolyhedra, taking {∞} as an equator of r{4,4} or r{3,6}. However, some others do not have clear spherical analogues.
