[[File:Tetrahedral-octahedral honeycomb.svg|320px|thumb|The ''alternated cubic honeycomb'' is one of 28 space-filling uniform tessellations in Euclidean 3-space, composed of alternating yellow [[tetrahedron|tetrahedra]] and red [[octahedron|octahedra]].]]
In [[geometry]], a '''convex uniform honeycomb''' is a [[uniform polytope|uniform]] [[tessellation]] which fills three-dimensional [[Euclidean space]] with non-overlapping [[convex polyhedron|convex]] [[uniform polyhedron|uniform polyhedral]] cells.

Twenty-eight such honeycombs are known:
* the familiar [[cubic honeycomb]] and 7 truncations thereof;
* the [[alternated cubic honeycomb]] and 4 truncations thereof;
* 10 prismatic forms based on the [[#Prismatic_stacks|uniform plane tilings]] (11 if including the cubic honeycomb);
* 5 modifications of some of the above by elongation and/or gyration.

They can be considered the three-dimensional analogue to the [[List of uniform planar tilings|uniform tilings of the plane]].

The [[Voronoi diagram]] of any [[Lattice (group)|lattice]] forms a convex uniform honeycomb in which the cells are [[zonohedra]].

== History ==
* '''1900''': [[Thorold Gosset]] enumerated the list of semiregular convex polytopes with regular cells ([[Platonic solid]]s) in his publication ''On the Regular and Semi-Regular Figures in Space of n Dimensions'', including one regular cubic honeycomb, and two semiregular forms with tetrahedra and octahedra.
* '''1905''': [[Alfredo Andreini]] enumerated 25 of these tessellations.
* '''1991''': [[Norman Johnson (mathematician)|Norman Johnson]]'s manuscript ''Uniform Polytopes'' identified the list of 28.<ref name=OEIS/>
* '''1994''': [[Branko Grünbaum]], in his paper ''Uniform tilings of 3-space'', also independently enumerated all 28, after discovering errors in Andreini's publication. He found the 1905 paper, which listed 25, had 1 wrong, and [[Convex uniform honeycomb#Nonwythoffian forms (gyrated and elongated)|4 being missing]]. Grünbaum states in this paper that Norman Johnson deserves priority for achieving the same enumeration in 1991. He also mentions that [[I. Alexeyev]] of Russia had contacted him regarding a putative enumeration of these forms, but that Grünbaum was unable to verify this at the time.
* '''2006''': George Olshevsky, in his manuscript ''Uniform Panoploid Tetracombs'', along with repeating the derived list of 11 convex uniform tilings, and 28 convex uniform honeycombs, expands a further derived list of 143 convex uniform tetracombs (Honeycombs of [[uniform 4-polytope]]s in 4-space).<ref>George Olshevsky, (2006, ''Uniform Panoploid Tetracombs'', Manuscript ''(Complete list of 11 convex uniform tilings, 28 convex uniform honeycombs, and 143 convex uniform tetracombs)'' [http://bendwavy.org/4HONEYS.pdf]</ref><ref name=OEIS>{{Cite OEIS|A242941|Convex uniform tessellations in dimension ''n''}}</ref>

Only 14 of the convex uniform polyhedra appear in these patterns:
* three of the five [[Platonic solid]]s (the [[tetrahedron]], [[cube]], and [[octahedron]]),
* six of the thirteen [[Archimedean solid]]s (the ones with reflective tetrahedral or octahedral symmetry), and
* five of the infinite family of [[prism (geometry)|prism]]s (the 3-, 4-, 6-, 8-, and 12-gonal ones; the 4-gonal prism duplicates the cube).

The [[icosahedron]], [[snub cube]], and [[square antiprism]] appear in some alternations, but those honeycombs cannot be realised with all edges unit length.

=== Names ===
This set can be called the '''regular and semiregular honeycombs'''. It has been called the '''Archimedean honeycombs''' by analogy with the convex uniform (non-regular) polyhedra, commonly called [[Archimedean solid]]s. Recently [[John Horton Conway|Conway]] has suggested naming the set as the '''Architectonic tessellations''' and the dual honeycombs as the '''[[Catoptric tessellation]]s'''.

The individual honeycombs are listed with names given to them by [[Norman Johnson (mathematician)|Norman Johnson]]. (Some of the terms used below are defined in [[Uniform 4-polytope#Geometric derivations for 46 nonprismatic Wythoffian uniform 4-polytopes]])

For cross-referencing, they are given with list indices from '''A'''ndreini (1-22), '''W'''illiams(1–2,9-19), '''J'''ohnson (11–19, 21–25, 31–34, 41–49, 51–52, 61–65), and '''G'''rünbaum(1-28). Coxeter uses &delta;<sub>4</sub> for a [[cubic honeycomb]], h&delta;<sub>4</sub> for an [[alternated cubic honeycomb]], q&delta;<sub>4</sub> for a [[quarter cubic honeycomb]], with subscripts for other forms based on the ring patterns of the Coxeter diagram.

== Compact Euclidean uniform tessellations (by their infinite Coxeter group families) ==
[[File:Coxeter-Dynkin 3-space groups.png|380px|thumb|Fundamental domains in a cubic element of three groups.]]
[[File:Coxeter diagram affine rank4 correspondence.png|380px|thumb|Family correspondences]]
The fundamental infinite [[Coxeter group]]s for 3-space are:
# The <math>{\tilde{C}}_3</math>, [4,3,4], cubic, {{CDD|node|4|node|3|node|4|node}} (8 unique forms plus one alternation)
# The <math>{\tilde{B}}_3</math>, [4,3<sup>1,1</sup>], alternated cubic, {{CDD|nodes|split2|node|4|node}} (11 forms, 3 new)
# The <math>{\tilde{A}}_3</math> cyclic group, [(3,3,3,3)] or [3<sup>[4]</sup>], {{CDD|branch|3ab|branch}} (5 forms, one new)

There is a correspondence between all three families. Removing one mirror from <math>{\tilde{C}}_3</math> produces <math>{\tilde{B}}_3</math>, and removing one mirror from <math>{\tilde{B}}_3</math> produces <math>{\tilde{A}}_3</math>. This allows multiple constructions of the same honeycombs. If cells are colored based on unique positions within each Wythoff construction, these different symmetries can be shown.

In addition there are 5 special honeycombs which don't have pure reflectional symmetry and are constructed from reflectional forms with ''elongation'' and ''gyration'' operations.

The total unique honeycombs above are 18.

The prismatic stacks from infinite Coxeter groups for 3-space are:
# The <math>{\tilde{C}}_2</math>×<math>{\tilde{I}}_1</math>, [4,4,2,∞] prismatic group, {{CDD|node|4|node|4|node|2|node|infin|node}} (2 new forms)
# The <math>{\tilde{G}}_2</math>×<math>{\tilde{I}}_1</math>, [6,3,2,∞] prismatic group, {{CDD|node|6|node|3|node|2|node|infin|node}} (7 unique forms)
# The <math>{\tilde{A}}_2</math>×<math>{\tilde{I}}_1</math>, [(3,3,3),2,∞] prismatic group, {{CDD|node|split1|branch|2|node|infin|node}} (No new forms)
# The <math>{\tilde{I}}_1</math>×<math>{\tilde{I}}_1</math>×<math>{\tilde{I}}_1</math>, [∞,2,∞,2,∞] prismatic group, {{CDD|node|infin|node|2|node|infin|node|2|node|infin|node}} (These all become a ''cubic honeycomb'')

In addition there is one special ''elongated'' form of the triangular prismatic honeycomb.

The total unique prismatic honeycombs above (excluding the cubic counted previously) are 10.

Combining these counts, 18 and 10 gives us the total 28 uniform honeycombs.

=== The C̃<sub>3</sub>, [4,3,4] group (cubic) ===
The regular cubic honeycomb, represented by Schläfli symbol {4,3,4}, offers seven unique derived uniform honeycombs via truncation operations. (One redundant form, the ''runcinated cubic honeycomb'', is included for completeness though identical to the cubic honeycomb.) The reflectional symmetry is the affine [[Coxeter group]] [4,3,4]. There are four index 2 subgroups that generate alternations: [1<sup>+</sup>,4,3,4], [(4,3,4,2<sup>+</sup>)], [4,3<sup>+</sup>,4], and [4,3,4]<sup>+</sup>, with the first two generated repeated forms, and the last two are nonuniform.

=== B̃<sub>3</sub>, [4,3<sup>1,1</sup>] group ===
The <math>{\tilde{B}}_3</math>, [4,3] group offers 11 derived forms via truncation operations, four being unique uniform honeycombs. There are 3 index 2 subgroups that generate alternations: [1<sup>+</sup>,4,3<sup>1,1</sup>], [4,(3<sup>1,1</sup>)<sup>+</sup>], and [4,3<sup>1,1</sup>]<sup>+</sup>. The first generates repeated honeycomb, and the last two are nonuniform but included for completeness.

The honeycombs from this group are called ''alternated cubic'' because the first form can be seen as a ''cubic honeycomb'' with alternate vertices removed, reducing cubic cells to tetrahedra and creating octahedron cells in the gaps.

Nodes are indexed left to right as ''0,1,0',3'' with 0' being below and interchangeable with ''0''. The ''alternate cubic'' names given are based on this ordering.

=== Nonwythoffian forms (gyrated and elongated) ===
Three more uniform honeycombs are generated by breaking one or another of the above honeycombs where its faces form a continuous plane, then rotating alternate layers by 60 or 90 degrees (''gyration'') and/or inserting a layer of prisms (''elongation'').

The elongated and gyroelongated alternated cubic tilings have the same vertex figure, but are not alike. In the ''elongated'' form, each prism meets a tetrahedron at one triangular end and an octahedron at the other. In the ''gyroelongated'' form, prisms that meet tetrahedra at both ends alternate with prisms that meet octahedra at both ends.

The gyroelongated triangular prismatic tiling has the same vertex figure as one of the plain prismatic tilings; the two may be derived from the gyrated and plain triangular prismatic tilings, respectively, by inserting layers of cubes.

=== Prismatic stacks ===
Eleven '''prismatic''' tilings are obtained by stacking the eleven [[tiling by regular polygons|uniform plane tilings]], shown below, in parallel layers. (One of these honeycombs is the cubic, shown above.) The [[vertex figure]] of each is an irregular [[bipyramid]] whose faces are [[isosceles triangle]]s.

==== The C̃<sub>2</sub>×Ĩ<sub>1</sub>(&infin;), [4,4,2,&infin;], prismatic group ====
There are only 3 unique honeycombs from the square tiling, but all 6 tiling truncations are listed below for completeness, and tiling images are shown by colors corresponding to each form.

===Examples===
The [[tetrahedral-octahedral honeycomb|alternated cubic honeycomb]] is of special importance since its vertices form a cubic [[close-packing]] of spheres. The space-filling [[truss]] of packed octahedra and tetrahedra was apparently first discovered by [[Alexander Graham Bell]] and independently re-discovered by [[Buckminster Fuller]] (who called it the [[octet truss]] and patented it in the 1940s).

[http://www.cjfearnley.com/fuller-faq-2.html]. Octet trusses are now among the most common types of truss used in construction.

*<math>{\tilde{C}}_2</math>×<math>A_1</math>: [4,4,2] {{CDD|node|4|node|4|node|2|node}} ''Cubic slab honeycombs'' (3 forms)
*<math>{\tilde{G}}_2</math>×<math>A_1</math>: [6,3,2] {{CDD|node|6|node|3|node|2|node}} ''Tri-hexagonal slab honeycombs'' (8 forms)

*<math>I_2(p)</math>×<math>{\tilde{I}}_1</math>: [p,2,∞] {{CDD|node|p|node|2|node|infin|node}} ''Polygonal column honeycombs'' (analogous to [[duoprism]]s: these look like a single infinite tower of p-gonal prisms, with the remaining space filled with [[apeirogonal prism]]s)
* <math>{\tilde{I}}_1</math>×<math>{\tilde{I}}_1</math>×<math>A_1</math>: [∞,2,∞,2] = [4,4,2] - {{CDD|node|infin|node|2|node|infin|node|2|node}} = {{CDD|node|4|node|4|node|2|node}} (Same as cubic slab honeycomb family)

The first two forms shown above are [[semiregular polytope|semiregular]] (uniform with only regular facets), and were listed by [[Thorold Gosset]] in 1900 respectively as the ''3-ic semi-check'' and ''tetroctahedric semi-check''.<ref>{{cite journal | last=Gosset | first=Thorold | authorlink = Thorold Gosset | title = On the regular and semi-regular figures in space of ''n'' dimensions | journal = [[Messenger of Mathematics]] | volume = 29 | pages = 43&ndash;48 | year = 1900}}</ref>

== Scaliform honeycomb==
A '''[[scaliform polytope|scaliform]] honeycomb''' is [[vertex-transitive]], like a ''uniform honeycomb'', with regular polygon faces while cells and higher elements are only required to be ''orbiforms'', equilateral, with their vertices lying on hyperspheres. For 3D honeycombs, this allows a subset of [[Johnson solid]]s along with the uniform polyhedra. Some scaliforms can be generated by an alternation process, leaving, for example, [[pyramid (geometry)|pyramid]] and [[cupola (geometry)|cupola]] gaps.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://bendwavy.org/klitzing/explain/polytope-tree.htm#scaliform|title = Polytope-tree}}</ref>

{{main|Uniform honeycombs in hyperbolic space}}

There are 9 [[Coxeter group]] families of compact uniform honeycombs in [[Hyperbolic space|hyperbolic 3-space]], generated as [[Wythoff construction]]s, and represented by ring permutations of the [[Coxeter-Dynkin diagram]]s for each family.

From these 9 families, there are a total of 76 unique honeycombs generated:
* [3,5,3] : {{CDD|node|3|node|5|node|3|node}} - 9 forms
* [5,3,4] : {{CDD|node|5|node|3|node|4|node}} - 15 forms
* [5,3,5] : {{CDD|node|5|node|3|node|5|node}} - 9 forms
* [5,3<sup>1,1</sup>] : {{CDD|nodes|split2|node|5|node}} - 11 forms (7 overlap with [5,3,4] family, 4 are unique)
* [(4,3,3,3)] : {{CDD|label4|branch|3ab|branch}} - 9 forms
* [(4,3,4,3)] : {{CDD|label4|branch|3ab|branch|label4}} - 6 forms
* [(5,3,3,3)] : {{CDD|label5|branch|3ab|branch}} - 9 forms
* [(5,3,4,3)] : {{CDD|label5|branch|3ab|branch|label4}} - 9 forms
* [(5,3,5,3)] : {{CDD|label5|branch|3ab|branch|label5}} - 6 forms

Several [[non-Wythoffian]] forms outside the list of 76 are known; it is not known how many there are.

=== Paracompact hyperbolic forms ===
{{main|Paracompact uniform honeycombs}}
There are also 23 paracompact Coxeter groups of rank 4. These families can produce uniform honeycombs with unbounded facets or vertex figure, including ideal vertices at infinity:
