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:

    “Nothing has shown more fully the prodigious ignorance of human ideas and their littleness, than the discovery of [Sir William] Herschell, that what used to be called the Milky Way is a portion of perhaps an infinite multitude of worlds!”
    —Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
