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:

    “Each man has his own vocation. The talent is the call. There is one direction in which all space is open to him. He has faculties silently inviting him thither to endless exertion. He is like a ship in the river; he runs against obstructions on every side but one; on that side all obstruction is taken away, and he sweeps serenely over a deepening channel into an infinite sea.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
