Infinite Skew Polyhedron - Semiregular Infinite Skew Polyhedra

Semiregular Infinite Skew Polyhedra

There are many other semiregular (vertex-transitive) infinite skew polyhedra. Wachmann, Burt and Kleinmann (1974) discovered many examples but it is not known whether their list is complete.

Three are illustrated here:


A prismatic semiregular skew polyhedron with vertex configuration 4.4.4.6.

A (partial) semiregular skew polyhedron with vertex configuration 4.8.4.8. Related to the omnitruncated cubic honeycomb.

A (partial) semiregular skew polyhedron with vertex configuration 3.4.4.4.4. Related to the Runcitruncated cubic honeycomb.

Famous quotes containing the word infinite:

    A little grit in the eye destroyeth the sight of the very heavens, and a little malice or envy a world of joys. One wry principle in the mind is of infinite consequence.
    Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)
