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.
