In the geometry of hyperbolic 4-space, the order-5 5-cell honeycomb is one of five compact regular space-filling tessellations (or honeycombs). With Schläfli symbol {3,3,3,5}, it has five 5-cells around each face. Its dual is the 120-cell honeycomb, {5,3,3,3}.
Related honeycombs
It is related to the order-5 tesseractic honeycomb, {4,3,3,5}, and order-5 120-cell honeycomb, {5,3,3,5}.
It is topologically similar to the finite 5-orthoplex, {3,3,3,4}, and 5-simplex, {3,3,3,3}.
It is analogous to the 600-cell, {3,3,5}, and icosahedron, {3,5}.
