      In this paper, the author considers families of hyperbolic honeycombs. Especially, he focuses on self-inscribed honeycombs. Here, for one honeycomb tessellation \(H\), if another honeycomb's vertex set is a subset of that of \(H\), the honeycomb is called inscribed. If the inscribed honeycomb tessellation has the same group structure, it is called a self-inscribed honeycomb. We can easily imagine such examples in Euclidean space, but it is not easy in the hyperbolic case. The author finds some families of examples of self-inscribed honeycombs in the hyperbolic spaces of dimensions 2, 3, and 5. (A 5-dimensional example is of great interest.) They arise from Coxeter groups with linear graphs. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1400.52002].
