Hyperbolic groups from regular polygons

[edit]

Every regular polyhedron/tiling {p,2q} represents a regular polygon reflective domain, orbifold *qp. Higher symmetry groups can be constructed by:

  1. Adding a order-p gyration point in the center as p*q. (order ×p)
  2. If p has divisor r, (p/r)*qr. (order ×p/r)
  3. An order-p reflection point in the center creates right triangle domains, *(2q).p.2. (order ×2p)
  4. If p is even,
    1. you can make an isoceles triangle domain *2q.2q.(p/2), (order ×p)
    2. as well as triangle *p.p.q (order ×p)
    3. and also by an alternate set of p/2 central mirrors, as kite-shaped fundamental domains *2.q.2.(p/2). (order ×p)

Mutations of orbifolds

[edit]

Orbifolds with the same structure can be mutated between different symmetry classes, including across curvature domains from spherical, to Euclidean to Hyperbolic. This table shows mutation classes.[2] This table is not complete for possible hyperbolic orbifolds.
