Regular divisions of the sphere also arise from the action of the crystallographic point groups on 3-dimensional space. These groups are discussed in the page for three-dimensional geometry. More generally, this is a part of real geometry, which includes discussions of the volumes of (hyper)spheres. The FAQ contains a short treatment of the most regular subdivisions of the sphere, those resulting from the Platonic solids. These are treated along with other (more irregular) polyhedra and their generalizations. |
