In geometry, the order-8 octagonal tiling is a regular tiling of the hyperbolic plane. It has Schläfli symbol of {8,8} and is self-dual.

Symmetry

This tiling represents a hyperbolic kaleidoscope of 8 mirrors meeting at a point and bounding regular octagon fundamental domains. This symmetry by orbifold notation is called *44444444 with 8 order-4 mirror intersections. In Coxeter notation can be represented as [8,8*], removing two of three mirrors (passing through the octagon center) in the [8,8] symmetry.

Related polyhedra and tiling

This tiling is topologically related as a part of sequence of regular tilings with octagonal faces, starting with the octagonal tiling, with Schläfli symbol {8,n}, and Coxeter diagram , progressing to infinity.
