In geometry, the infinite-order apeirogonal tiling is a regular tiling of the hyperbolic plane. It has Schläfli symbol of {∞,∞}, which means it has countably infinitely many apeirogons around all its ideal vertices.

Symmetry[edit]

This tiling represents the fundamental domains of *∞^∞ symmetry.

This tiling can also be alternately colored in the [(∞,∞,∞)] symmetry from 3 generator positions.

Domains	0	1	2
symmetry: [(∞,∞,∞)]	t₀{(∞,∞,∞)}	t₁{(∞,∞,∞)}	t₂{(∞,∞,∞)}

The union of this tiling and its dual can be seen as orthogonal red and blue lines here, and combined define the lines of a *2∞2∞ fundamental domain.
