geometry
Geometry (; ) is, with arithmetic, one of the oldest branches of mathematics. It is concerned with properties of space such as the distance, shape, size, and relative position of figures. A mathematician who works in the field of geometry is c ...
, the rhombitetraapeirogonal tiling is a uniform tiling of the hyperbolic plane
In mathematics, hyperbolic geometry (also called Lobachevskian geometry or Bolyai– Lobachevskian geometry) is a non-Euclidean geometry. The parallel postulate of Euclidean geometry is replaced with:
:For any given line ''R'' and point ''P'' ...
. It has Schläfli symbol
In geometry, the Schläfli symbol is a notation of the form \ that defines regular polytopes and tessellations.
The Schläfli symbol is named after the 19th-century Swiss mathematician Ludwig Schläfli, who generalized Euclidean geometry to more ...

Constructions
There are two uniform constructions of this tiling, one from ˆž,4or (*∞42) symmetry, and secondly removing the mirror middle, ˆž,1+,4 gives a rectangular fundamental domain ˆž,∞,∞ (*∞222).Symmetry
The dual of this tiling, called a deltoidal tetraapeirogonal tiling represents the fundamental domains of (*∞222) orbifold symmetry. Its fundamental domain is a Lambert quadrilateral, with 3 right angles. :
