In geometry, the order-6 apeirogonal tiling is a regular tiling of the hyperbolic plane. It has Schläfli symbol of {∞,6}.

Symmetry

The dual to this tiling represents the fundamental domains of [∞,6*] symmetry, orbifold notation *∞∞∞∞∞∞ symmetry, a hexagonal domain with five ideal vertices.

The order-6 apeirogonal tiling can be uniformly colored with 6 colored apeirogons around each vertex, and coxeter diagram: , except ultraparallel branches on the diagonals.
