Truncated order-7 triangular tiling

In geometry, the order-7 truncated triangular tiling, sometimes called the hyperbolic soccerball,[1] is a semiregular tiling of the hyperbolic plane. There are two hexagons and one heptagon on each vertex, forming a pattern similar to a conventional soccer ball (truncated icosahedron) with heptagons in place of pentagons. It has Schläfli symbol of t{3,7}.

Hyperbolic soccerball (football) edit

This tiling is called a hyperbolic soccerball (football) for its similarity to the truncated icosahedron pattern used on soccer balls. Small portions of it as a hyperbolic surface can be constructed in 3-space.

Dual tiling edit

The dual tiling is called a heptakis heptagonal tiling, named for being constructible as a heptagonal tiling with every heptagon divided into seven triangles by the center point.

From a Wythoff construction there are eight hyperbolic uniform tilings that can be based from the regular heptagonal tiling.

Drawing the tiles colored as red on the original faces, yellow at the original vertices, and blue along the original edges, there are 8 forms.
