Surfaces formed by infinitesmal equilateral triangles at common vertices

34 Views Asked by At

Say we have equilateral triangles coming together at a common vertex with each angle is $ 2 \pi/n= 2 \pi/6$. As the hexagon side tends to zero we have a flat plane defined with hexagonally packed tiling and the Gauss curvature of the plane

$$K_6=0$$

Now in a similar manner $K_7, K_8$ repeated 3d tiling would form surfaces of negative curvature as $ \text{side of triangle}\to 0$, a defined polyhedral solid angle forms.

How to parameterize the surface in order to visualize it?

Thanks for all pointers, how to use GB theorem and so on..
