There are four infinite sets with index n being any positive integer; for n=1 two cases are equal, so there are three;
they are separately named.

Tetrahedral symmetry
A regular tetrahedron has 12 rotational (or orientation-preserving)
symmetries, and a symmetry order of 24 including transformations that
combine a reflection and a rotation.
The group of all symmetries is isomorphic to the group S4 of permutations of
four objects, since there is exactly one such symmetry for each permutation of
the vertices of the tetrahedron. The set of orientation-preserving symmetries
forms a group referred to as the alternating subgroup A4 of S4.

the tetrahedron through those positions.

tetrahedral symmetry, also known as the (2,3,3)

axes as T, but with six mirror planes, each through
two 3-fold axes. The 2-fold axes are now S4 ( )
axes. Td and O are isomorphic as abstract groups:
they both correspond to S4, the symmetric group
on 4 objects. Td is the union of T and the set
obtained by combining each element of O \ T with
inversion. See also the isometries of the regular

Pyritohedral symmetry
Th or 3*2 or , of order 24 - pyritohedral symmetry. This group has the same rotation axes as T, with
mirror planes through two of the orthogonal directions. The 3-fold axes are now S6 ( ) axes, and there is inversion
symmetry. Th is isomorphic to T × Z2: every element of Th is either an element of T, or one combined with inversion.
Apart from these two normal subgroups, there is also a normal subgroup D2h (that of a cuboid), of type Dih2 × Z2 =
Z2 × Z2 × Z2 . It is the direct product of the normal subgroup of T (see above) with Ci. The quotient group is the same
as above: of type Z3. The three elements of the latter are the identity, "clockwise rotation", and "anti-clockwise
rotation", corresponding to permutations of the three orthogonal 2-fold axes, preserving orientation.
It is the symmetry of a cube with on each face a line segment dividing the
face into two equal rectangles, such that the line segments of adjacent faces
do not meet at the edge. The symmetries correspond to the even permutations
of the body diagonals and the same combined with inversion. It is also the
symmetry of a pyritohedron, which is extremely similar to the cube described,
with each rectangle replaced by a pentagon with one symmetry axis and 4
equal sides and 1 different side (the one corresponding to the line segment
dividing the cube's face); i.e., the cube's faces bulge out at the dividing line
and become narrower there. It is a subgroup of the full icosahedral symmetry
group (as isometry group, not just as abstract group), with 4 of the 10 3-fold
axes.

Octahedral symmetry
A regular octahedron has 24 rotational (or orientation-preserving)
symmetries, and a symmetry order of 48 including transformations that
combine a reflection and a rotation. A cube has the same set of symmetries,
since it is the dual of an octahedron.
The group of orientation-preserving symmetries is S4, or the group of
permutations of four objects, since there is exactly one such symmetry for
each permutation of the four pairs of opposite sides of the octahedron.
Details
Chiral and full (or achiral)
octahedral symmetry are the discrete
point symmetries (or equivalently,
symmetries on the sphere) with the
largest symmetry groups compatible
with translational symmetry. They are
among the crystallographic point
groups of the cubic crystal system.

With the 4-fold axes as coordinate axes, a fundamental domain of Oh is given by 0 ≤ x ≤ y ≤ z. An object with this
symmetry is characterized by the part of the object in the fundamental domain, for example the cube is given by z =
1, and the octahedron by x + y + z = 1 (or the corresponding inequalities, to get the solid instead of the surface). ax +
by + cz = 1 gives a polyhedron with 48 faces, e.g. the disdyakis dodecahedron.
Faces are 8-by-8 combined to larger faces for a = b = 0 (cube) and 6-by-6 for a = b = c (octahedron).

• C3v: if three faces, of which none opposite to each other, have one color and the other three one other color, the
cube has 6 isometries.
For some larger subgroups a cube with that group as symmetry group is not possible with just coloring whole faces.
One has to draw some pattern on the faces. Examples:
• D2d: if one face has a line segment dividing the face into two equal rectangles, and the opposite has the same in
perpendicular direction, the cube has 8 isometries; there is a symmetry plane and 2-fold rotational symmetry with
an axis at an angle of 45° to that plane, and, as a result, there is also another symmetry plane perpendicular to the
first, and another axis of 2-fold rotational symmetry perpendicular to the first.
• Th: if each face has a line segment dividing the face into two equal rectangles, such that the line segments of
adjacent faces do not meet at the edge, the cube has 24 isometries: the even permutations of the body diagonals
and the same combined with inversion (x is mapped to −x).
• Td: if the cube consists of eight smaller cubes, four white and four black, put together alternatingly in all three
standard directions, the cube has again 24 isometries: this time the even permutations of the body diagonals and
the inverses of the other proper rotations.
• T: if each face has the same pattern with 2-fold rotational symmetry, say the letter S, such that at all edges a top of
one S meets a side of the other S, the cube has 12 isometries: the even permutations of the body diagonals.
The full symmetry of the cube (Oh) is preserved if and only if all faces have the same pattern such that the full
symmetry of the square is preserved, with for the square a symmetry group of order 8.
The full symmetry of the cube under proper rotations (O) is preserved if and only if all faces have the same pattern
with 4-fold rotational symmetry.

Icosahedral symmetry 21
Icosahedral symmetry
A regular icosahedron has 60 rotational (or orientation-preserving)
symmetries, and a symmetry order of 120 including transformations
that combine a reflection and a rotation. A regular dodecahedron has
the same set of symmetries, since it is the dual of the icosahedron.
The set of orientation-preserving symmetries forms a group referred to
as A5 (the alternating group on 5 letters), and the full symmetry group
(including reflections) is the product A5 × C2. The latter group is also
known as the Coxeter group H3.
As point group
Apart from the two infinite series of
prismatic and antiprismatic symmetry,
rotational icosahedral symmetry or
chiral icosahedral symmetry of chiral
objects and full icosahedral
symmetry or achiral icosahedral
symmetry are the discrete point
symmetries (or equivalently,
symmetries on the sphere) with the
largest symmetry groups.
I [3,5]+ 532 60
These correspond to the icosahedral groups (rotational and full) being the (2,3,5) triangle groups.
The first presentation was given by William Rowan Hamilton in 1856, in his paper on Icosian Calculus.[1]
Note that other presentations are possible, for instance as an alternating group (for I).
Group structure
The icosahedral rotation group I is of order 60. The group I is isomorphic to A5, the alternating group of even
permutations of five objects. This isomorphism can be realized by I acting on various compounds, notably the
compound of five cubes (which inscribe in the dodecahedron), the compound of five octahedra, or either of the two
compounds of five tetrahedra (which are enantiomorphs, and inscribe in the dodecahedron).
The group contains 5 versions of Th with 20 versions of D3 (10 axes, 2 per axis), and 6 versions of D5.
The full icosahedral group Ih has order 120. It has I as normal subgroup of index 2. The group Ih is isomorphic to I
× C2, or A5 × C2, with the inversion in the center corresponding to element (identity,-1), where C2 is written
multiplicatively.
Ih acts on the compound of five cubes and the compound of five octahedra, but -1 acts as the identity (as cubes and
octahedra are centrally symmetric). It acts on the compound of ten tetrahedra: I acts on the two chiral halves
(compounds of five tetrahedra), and -1 interchanges the two halves. Notably, it does not act as S5, and these groups
are not isomorphic; see below for details.
The group contains 10 versions of D3d and 6 versions of D5d (symmetries like antiprisms).
I is also isomorphic to PSL2(5), but Ih is not isomorphic to SL2(5).
In words,
• is a normal subgroup of
• is a factor of , which is a direct product
• is a quotient group of
Note that has an exceptional irreducible 3-dimensional representation (as the icosahedral rotation group), but
does not have an irreducible 3-dimensional representation, corresponding to the full icosahedral group not being the

symmetric group.
These can also be related to linear groups over the finite field with five elements, which exhibit the subgroups and
covering groups directly; none of these are the full icosahedral group:
• the projective special linear group;
• the projective general linear group;
• the special linear group.
Conjugacy classes
The conjugacy classes of I are:
• identity
• 12 × rotation by 72°, order 5
• 12 × rotation by 144°, order 5
• 20 × rotation by 120°, order 3
• 15 × rotation by 180°, order 2
Those of Ih include also each with inversion:
• inversion
• 12 × rotoreflection by 108°, order 10
• 12 × rotoreflection by 36°, order 10
• 20 × rotoreflection by 60°, order 6
• 15 × reflection, order 2
Subgroups
• Ih,I , Th and T
• D2h
• D5d, D3d
• D5, D3 and D2
• C2h
• C5v, C3v and C2v
• C5, C3 and C2
• S10, S6 and S2=Ci
• E and Cs
All of these classes of subgroups are conjugate (i.e., all vertex stabilizers are conjugate), and admit geometric
interpretations.
Note that the stabilizer of a vertex/edge/face/polyhedron and its opposite are equal, since is central.
Vertex stabilizers
Stabilizers of an opposite pair of vertices can be interpreted as stabilizers of the axis they generate.
• vertex stabilizers in I give cyclic groups C3
• vertex stabilizers in Ih give dihedral groups D3
• stabilizers of an opposite pair of vertices in I give dihedral groups D3

• edges stabilizers in I give cyclic groups C2
• edges stabilizers in Ih give Klein four-groups
• stabilizers of a pair of edges in I give Klein four-groups ; there are 5 of these, given by rotation by
180° in 3 perpendicular axes.

perpendicular axes.

• face stabilizers in Ih give dihedral groups D5
• stabilizers of an opposite pair of faces in I give dihedral groups D5
• stabilizers of an opposite pair of faces in Ih give
Polyhedron stabilizers
For each of these, there are 5 conjugate copies, and the conjugation action gives a map, indeed an isomorphism,
.
• stabilizers of the inscribed tetrahedra in I are a copy of T
• stabilizers of the inscribed tetrahedra in Ih are a copy of Th
• stabilizers of the inscribed cubes (or opposite pair of tetrahedra, or octahedrons) in I are a copy of O
• stabilizers of the inscribed cubes (or opposite pair of tetrahedra, or octahedrons) in Ih are a copy of Oh

Archimedean solids - polyhedra with more than one polygon face type.
Related geometries
Icosahedral symmetry is equivalently the projective special linear group PSL(2,5), and is the symmetry group of the
modular curve X(5), and more generally PSL(2,p) is the symmetry group of the modular curve X(p). The modular
curve X(5) is geometrically a dodecahedron with a cusp at the center of each polygonal face, which demonstrates the
symmetry group.
This geometry, and associated symmetry group, was studied by Felix Klein as the monodromy groups of a Belyi
surface – a Riemann surface with a holomorphic map to the Riemann sphere, ramified only at 0, 1, and infinity (a
Icosahedral symmetry 26
Belyi function) – the cusps are the points lying over infinity, while the vertices and the centers of each edge lie over
0 and 1; the degree of the covering (number of sheets) equals 5.
This arose from his efforts to give a geometric setting for why icosahedral symmetry arose in the solution of the
quintic equation, with the theory given in the famous (Klein 1888); a modern exposition is given in (Tóth 2002,
Section 1.6, Additional Topic: Klein's Theory of the Icosahedron, p. 66 [2]).
Klein's investigations continued with his discovery of order 7 and order 11 symmetries in (Klein 1878/79b) and
(Klein 1879) (and associated coverings of degree 7 and 11) and dessins d'enfants, the first yielding the Klein quartic,
whose associated geometry has a tiling by 24 heptagons (with a cusp at the center of each).
Similar geometries occur for PSL(2,n) and more general groups for other modular curves.
More exotically, there are special connections between the groups PSL(2,5) (order 60), PSL(2,7) (order 168) and
PSL(2,11) (order 660), which also admit geometric interpretations – PSL(2,5) is the symmetries of the icosahedron
(genus 0), PSL(2,7) of the Klein quartic (genus 3), and PSL(2,11) the buckyball surface (genus 70). These groups
form a "trinity" in the sense of Vladimir Arnold, which gives a framework for the various relationships; see trinities
for details.

Cyclic symmetries 27
Cyclic symmetries
This article deals with the four infinite series of point groups in three dimensions (n≥1) with n-fold rotational
symmetry about one axis (rotation by an angle of 360°/n does not change the object), and no other rotational
symmetry (n=1 covers the cases of no rotational symmetry at all):
Chiral:
• Cn (nn) of order n - n-fold rotational symmetry (abstract group Cn); for n=1: no symmetry (trivial group)
Achiral:
• Cnh (n*) of order 2n - prismatic symmetry (abstract group Dn × C2); for n=1 this is denoted by Cs (1*) and
called reflection symmetry, also bilateral symmetry.
• Cnv (*nn) of order 2n - pyramidal symmetry (abstract group Dn); in biology C2v is called biradial symmetry.
For n=1 we have again Cs (1*).
• S2n (n×) of order 2n (not to be confused with symmetric groups, for which the same notation is used; abstract
group C2n); for n=1 we have S2 (1×), also denoted by Ci; this is inversion symmetry
They are the finite symmetry groups on a cone. For n = they correspond to four frieze groups. Schönflies
notation is used, and, in parentheses, orbifold notation. The terms horizontal (h) and vertical (v) are used with respect
to a vertical axis of rotation.
Cnh (n*) has reflection symmetry with respect to a plane perpendicular to the n-fold rotation axis.
Cnv (*nn) has vertical mirror planes. This is the symmetry group for a regular n-sided pyramid.
S2n (n×) has a 2n-fold rotoreflection axis, also called 2n-fold improper rotation axis, i.e., the symmetry group
contains a combination of a reflection in the horizontal plane and a rotation by an angle 180°/n. Thus, like Dnd, it
contains a number of improper rotations without containing the corresponding rotations.
C2h (2*) and C2v (*22) of order 4 are two of the three 3D symmetry group types with the Klein four-group as
abstract group. C2v applies e.g. for a rectangular tile with its top side different from its bottom side.

Reflection symmetry 28
Reflection symmetry
Reflection symmetry, reflectional symmetry, line
symmetry, mirror symmetry, mirror-image
symmetry, or bilateral symmetry is symmetry with
respect to reflection.
In 2D there is an axis of symmetry, in 3D a plane of
symmetry. An object or figure which is
indistinguishable from its transformed image is called
mirror symmetric (see mirror image). Also see pattern..
The axis of symmetry or line of symmetry of a
two-dimensional figure is a line such that, for each
perpendicular constructed, if the perpendicular
intersects the figure at a distance 'd' from the axis along
the perpendicular, then there exists another intersection
of the figure and the perpendicular, at the same distance
'd' from the axis, in the opposite direction along the
Figures with the axes of symmetry drawn in.
perpendicular. Another way to think about it is that if
the shape were to be folded in half over the axis, the
two halves would be identical: the two halves are each other's mirror image. Thus a square has four axes of
symmetry, because there are four different ways to fold it and have the edges all match. A circle has infinitely many
axes of symmetry, for the same reason.
If the letter T is reflected along a vertical axis, it appears the same. Note that this is sometimes called horizontal
symmetry, and sometimes vertical symmetry. One can better use an unambiguous formulation, e.g. "T has a vertical
symmetry axis."(this may also be called a line of symmetry)
The triangles with this symmetry are isosceles. The quadrilaterals with this symmetry are the kites and the isosceles
trapezoids.
For each line or plane of reflection, the symmetry group is isomorphic with Cs (see point groups in three
dimensions), one of the three types of order two (involutions), hence algebraically C2. The fundamental domain is a
half-plane or half-space.
In certain contexts there is rotational symmetry anyway. Then mirror-image symmetry is equivalent with inversion
symmetry; in such contexts in modern physics the term P-symmetry is used for both (P stands for parity).
For more general types of reflection there are corresponding more general types of reflection symmetry. Examples:
• with respect to a non-isometric affine involution (an oblique reflection in a line, plane, etc).
• with respect to circle inversion.
Mirrored symmetry is also found in the design of ancient structures, including Stonehenge.[1]

Inverse (mathematics)
In many contexts in mathematics the term inverse indicates the opposite of something. This word and its derivatives
are used greatly in mathematics, as illustrated below.
• Inverse element of an element x with respect to a binary operation * with identity element e is an element y such
that x * y = y * x = e. In particular,
• the additive inverse of x is –x;
• the multiplicative inverse of x is x–1.

Group structure
SO(3) is a subgroup of E+(3), which consists of direct isometries, i.e., isometries preserving orientation; it contains
those that leave the origin fixed.
O(3) is the direct product of SO(3) and the group generated by inversion (denoted by its matrix −I):
O(3) = SO(3) × { I , −I }
Thus there is a 1-to-1 correspondence between all direct isometries and all indirect isometries, through inversion.
Also there is a 1-to-1 correspondence between all groups of direct isometries H and all groups K of isometries that
contain inversion:
K = H × { I , −I }
H = K ∩ SO(3)
If a group of direct isometries H has a subgroup L of index 2, then, apart from the corresponding group containing
inversion there is also a corresponding group that contains indirect isometries but no inversion:
M = L ∪ ( (H \ L) × { − I } )
where isometry ( A , I ) is identified with A.
Thus M is obtained from H by inverting the isometries in H \ L. This group M is as abstract group isomorphic with
H. Conversely, for all isometry groups that contain indirect isometries but no inversion we can obtain a rotation
group by inverting the indirect isometries. This is clarifying when categorizing isometry groups, see below.
In 2D the cyclic group of k-fold rotations Ck is for every positive integer k a normal subgroup of O(2,R) and
SO(2,R). Accordingly, in 3D, for every axis the cyclic group of k-fold rotations about that axis is a normal subgroup
of the group of all rotations about that axis, and also of the group obtained by adding reflections in planes through
the axis.
Point groups in three dimensions 31
Conjugacy
When comparing the symmetry type of two objects, the origin is chosen for each separately, i.e. they need not have
the same center. Moreover, two objects are considered to be of the same symmetry type if their symmetry groups are
conjugate subgroups of O(3) (two subgroups H1, H2 of a group G are conjugate, if there exists g ∈ G such that H1 =
g−1H2g ).
Thus two 3D objects have the same symmetry type:
• if both have mirror symmetry, but with respect to a different mirror plane
• if both have 3-fold rotational symmetry, but with respect to a different axis.
In the case of multiple mirror planes and/or axes of rotation, two symmetry groups are of the same symmetry type if
and only if there is a single rotation mapping this whole structure of the first symmetry group to that of the second.
The conjugacy definition would also allow a mirror image of the structure, but this is not needed, the structure itself
is achiral. For example, if a symmetry group contains a 3-fold axis of rotation, it contains rotations in two opposite
directions. (The structure is chiral for 11 pairs of space groups with a screw axis.)
The second of these is the first of the uniaxial groups (cyclic groups) Cn of
order n (also applicable in 2D), which are generated by a single rotation of
angle 360°/n. In addition to this, one may add a mirror plane perpendicular to
the axis, giving the group Cnh of order 2n, or a set of n mirror planes
containing the axis, giving the group Cnv, also of order 2n. The latter is the
symmetry group for a regular n-sided pyramid. A typical object with
symmetry group Cn or Dn is a propellor.
If both horizontal and vertical reflection planes are added, their intersections
give n axes of rotation through 180°, so the group is no longer uniaxial. This
new group of order 4n is called Dnh. Its subgroup of rotations is the dihedral
group Dn of order 2n, which still has the 2-fold rotation axes perpendicular to
the primary rotation axis, but no mirror planes. Note that in 2D Dn includes
reflections, which can also be viewed as flipping over flat objects without
distinction of front- and backside, but in 3D the two operations are
distinguished: the group contains "flipping over", not reflections.
There is one more group in this family, called Dnd (or Dnv), which has vertical
mirror planes containing the main rotation axis, but instead of having a
horizontal mirror plane, it has an isometry that combines a reflection in the
horizontal plane and a rotation by an angle 180°/n. Dnh is the symmetry group
for a regular n-sided prisms and also for a regular n-sided bipyramid. Dnd is
the symmetry group for a regular n-sided antiprism, and also for a regular
n-sided trapezohedron. Dn is the symmetry group of a partially rotated prism.
Patterns on a cylindrical band
Sn is generated by the combination of a reflection in the horizontal plane and a illustrating the case n = 6 for each of the
rotation by an angle 360°/n. For n odd this is equal to the group generated by 7 infinite families of point groups. The
symmetry group of each pattern is the
the two separately, Cnh of order 2n, and therefore the notation Sn is not needed;
indicated group.
however, for n even it is distinct, and of order n. Like Dnd it contains a number
of improper rotations without containing the corresponding rotations.
All symmetry groups in the 7 infinite series are different, except for the following four pairs of mutually equal ones:
• C1h and C1v: group of order 2 with a single reflection (Cs )
• D1 and C2: group of order 2 with a single 180° rotation
• D1h and C2v: group of order 4 with a reflection in a plane and a 180° rotation through a line in that plane
• D1d and C2h: group of order 4 with a reflection in a plane and a 180° rotation through a line perpendicular to that
plane
S2 is the group of order 2 with a single inversion (Ci )
"Equal" is meant here as the same up to conjugacy in space. This is stronger than "up to algebraic isomorphism". For
example, there are three different groups of order two in the first sense, but there is only one in the second sense.
Similarly, e.g. S2n is algebraically isomorphic with Z2n.
Point groups in three dimensions 34
• O (432) of order 24 - chiral octahedral symmetry. This group is like T, but the C2 axes are now C4 axes, and
additionally there are 6 C2 axes, through the midpoints of the edges of the cube. This group is also isomorphic to
S4, and is the rotation group of the cube and octahedron.
• Oh (*432) of order 48 - full octahedral symmetry. This group has the same rotation axes as O, but with mirror
planes, comprising both the mirror planes of Td and Th. This group is isomorphic to S4 × C2, and is the symmetry
group of the cube and octahedron. See also the isometries of the cube.
• I (532) of order 60 - chiral icosahedral symmetry; the rotation group of the icosahedron and the dodecahedron.
It is a normal subgroup of index 2 in the full group of symmetries Ih. The group I is isomorphic to A5, the
alternating group on 5 letters. The group contains 10 versions of D3 and 6 versions of D5 (rotational symmetries
like prisms and antiprisms).
• Ih (*532) of order 120 - full icosahedral symmetry; the symmetry group of the icosahedron and the
dodecahedron. The group Ih is isomorphic to A5 × C2. The group contains 10 versions of D3d and 6 versions of
D5d (symmetries like antiprisms).
Point groups in three dimensions 35
Rotation groups
The rotation groups, i.e. the finite subgroups of SO(3), are: the cyclic groups Cn (the rotation group of a regular
pyramid), the dihedral groups Dn (the rotation group of a regular prism, or regular bipyramid), and the rotation
groups T, O and I of a regular tetrahedron, octahedron/cube and icosahedron/dodecahedron.
In particular, the dihedral groups D3, D4 etc. are the rotation groups of plane regular polygons embedded in
three-dimensional space, and such a figure may be considered as a degenerate regular prism. Therefore it is also
called a dihedron (Greek: solid with two faces), which explains the name dihedral group.
• An object with symmetry group Cn, Cnh, Cnv or S2n has rotation group Cn.
• An object with symmetry group Dn, Dnh, or Dnd has rotation group Dn.
• An object with one of the other seven symmetry groups has as rotation group the corresponding one without
subscript: T, O or I.
The rotation group of an object is equal to its full symmetry group if and only if the object is chiral. In other words,
the chiral objects are those with their symmetry group in the list of rotation groups.
Maximal symmetries
There are two discrete point groups with the property that no discrete point group has it as proper subgroup: Oh and
Ih. Their largest common subgroup is Th. The two groups are obtained from it by changing 2-fold rotational
symmetry to 4-fold, and adding 5-fold symmetry, respectively. Alternatively the two groups are generated by adding
for each a reflection plane to Th.
There are two crystallographic point groups with the property that no crystallographic point group has it as proper
subgroup: Oh and D6h. Their maximal common subgroups, depending on orientation, are D3d and D2h.

Point groups in three dimensions 39
Fundamental domain
The fundamental domain of a point group is a conic solid. An object with a given symmetry in a given orientation is
characterized by the fundamental domain. If the object is a surface it is characterized by a surface in the fundamental
domain continuing to its radial bordal faces or surface. If the copies of the surface do not fit, radial faces or surfaces
can be added. They fit anyway if the fundamental domain is bounded by reflection planes.
For a polyhedron this surface in the fundamental domain can be part of an arbitrary plane. For example, in the
disdyakis triacontahedron one full face is a fundamental domain. Adjusting the orientation of the plane gives various
possibilities of combining two or more adjacent faces to one, giving various other polyhedra with the same
symmetry. The polyhedron is convex if the surface fits to its copies and the radial line perpendicular to the plane is
in the fundamental domain.
Also the surface in the fundamental domain may be composed of multiple faces.
This is in contrast to projective polyhedra – the sphere does cover projective space (and also lens spaces), and thus a
tessellation of projective space or lens space yields a distinct notion of polyhedron.

Cyclic group
In group theory, a cyclic group is a group that can be generated by a single element, in the sense that the group has
an element g (called a "generator" of the group) such that, when written multiplicatively, every element of the group
is a power of g (a multiple of g when the notation is additive).
Definition
A group G is called cyclic if there exists an element g in G such that G = <g>
= { gn | n is an integer }. Since any group generated by an element in a group
is a subgroup of that group, showing that the only subgroup of a group G that
contains g is G itself suffices to show that G is cyclic.
For example, if G = { g0, g1, g2, g3, g4, g5 } is a group, then g6 = g0, and G is
cyclic. In fact, G is essentially the same as (that is, isomorphic to) the set { 0,
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 } with addition modulo 6. For example, 1 + 2 = 3 (mod 6)
corresponds to g1·g2 = g3, and 2 + 5 = 1 (mod 6) corresponds to g2·g5 = g7 =
g1, and so on. One can use the isomorphism φ defined by φ(gi) = i.
The six 6th complex roots of unity form a
For every positive integer n there is exactly one cyclic group (up to
cyclic group under multiplication. z is a
isomorphism) whose order is n, and there is exactly one infinite cyclic group primitive element, but z2 is not, because
(the integers under addition). Hence, the cyclic groups are the simplest groups the odd powers of z are not a power of z2.
and they are completely classified.
The name "cyclic" may be misleading: it is possible to generate infinitely many elements and not form any literal
cycles; that is, every is distinct. (It can be said that it has one infinitely long cycle.) A group generated in this
Cyclic group 41
way is called an infinite cyclic group, and is isomorphic to the additive group of integers Z.
Furthermore, the circle group (whose elements are uncountable) is not a cyclic group—a cyclic group always has
countable elements.
Since the cyclic groups are abelian, they are often written additively and denoted Zn. However, this notation can be
problematic for number theorists because it conflicts with the usual notation for p-adic number rings or localization
at a prime ideal. The quotient notations Z/nZ, Z/n, and Z/(n) are standard alternatives. We adopt the first of these
here to avoid the collision of notation. See also the section Subgroups and notation below.
One may write the group multiplicatively, and denote it by Cn, where n is the order (which can be ∞). For example,
g3g4 = g2 in C5, whereas 3 + 4 = 2 in Z/5Z.
Properties
The fundamental theorem of cyclic groups states that if G is a cyclic group of order n then every subgroup of G is
cyclic. Moreover, the order of any subgroup of G is a divisor of n and for each positive divisor k of n the group G has
exactly one subgroup of order k. This property characterizes finite cyclic groups: a group of order n is cyclic if and
only if for every divisor d of n the group has at most one subgroup of order d. Sometimes the equivalent statement is
used: a group of order n is cyclic if and only if for every divisor d of n the group has exactly one subgroup of order d.
Every finite cyclic group is isomorphic to the group { [0], [1], [2], ..., [n − 1] } of integers modulo n under addition,
and any infinite cyclic group is isomorphic to Z (the set of all integers) under addition. Thus, one only needs to look
at such groups to understand the properties of cyclic groups in general. Hence, cyclic groups are one of the simplest
groups to study and a number of nice properties are known.
Given a cyclic group G of order n (n may be infinity) and for every g in G,
• G is abelian; that is, their group operation is commutative: gh = hg (for all h in G). This is so since g + h mod n =
h + g mod n.
• If n is finite, then gn = g0 is the identity element of the group, since kn mod n = 0 for any integer k.
• If n = ∞, then there are exactly two elements that generate the group on their own: namely 1 and −1 for Z
• If n is finite, then there are exactly φ(n) elements that generate the group on their own, where φ is the Euler
totient function
• Every subgroup of G is cyclic. Indeed, each finite subgroup of G is a group of { 0, 1, 2, 3, ... m − 1} with addition
modulo m. And each infinite subgroup of G is mZ for some m, which is bijective to (so isomorphic to) Z.
• Gn is isomorphic to Z/nZ (factor group of Z over nZ) since Z/nZ = {0 + nZ, 1 + nZ, 2 + nZ, 3 + nZ, 4 + nZ, ..., n
− 1 + nZ} { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ..., n − 1} under addition modulo n.
More generally, if d is a divisor of n, then the number of elements in Z/n which have order d is φ(d). The order of the
residue class of m is n / gcd(n,m).
If p is a prime number, then the only group (up to isomorphism) with p elements is the cyclic group Cp or Z/pZ.
There are more numbers with the same property, see cyclic number.
The direct product of two cyclic groups Z/nZ and Z/mZ is cyclic if and only if n and m are coprime. Thus e.g. Z/12Z
is the direct product of Z/3Z and Z/4Z, but not the direct product of Z/6Z and Z/2Z.
The definition immediately implies that cyclic groups have very simple group presentation C∞ = < x | > and Cn = < x
| xn > for finite n.
A primary cyclic group is a group of the form Z/pk where p is a prime number. The fundamental theorem of abelian
groups states that every finitely generated abelian group is the direct product of finitely many finite primary cyclic
and infinite cyclic groups.
Z/nZ and Z are also commutative rings. If p is a prime, then Z/pZ is a finite field, also denoted by Fp or GF(p).
Every field with p elements is isomorphic to this one.
Cyclic group 42
The units of the ring Z/nZ are the numbers coprime to n. They form a group under multiplication modulo n with
φ(n) elements (see above). It is written as (Z/nZ)×. For example, when n = 6, we get (Z/nZ)× = {1,5}. When n = 8,
we get (Z/nZ)× = {1,3,5,7}.
In fact, it is known that (Z/nZ)× is cyclic if and only if n is 1 or 2 or 4 or pk or 2 pk for an odd prime number p and k
≥ 1, in which case every generator of (Z/nZ)× is called a primitive root modulo n. Thus, (Z/nZ)× is cyclic for n = 6,
but not for n = 8, where it is instead isomorphic to the Klein four-group.
The group (Z/pZ)× is cyclic with p − 1 elements for every prime p, and is also written (Z/pZ)* because it consists of
the non-zero elements. More generally, every finite subgroup of the multiplicative group of any field is cyclic.
Examples
In 2D and 3D the symmetry group for n-fold rotational symmetry is Cn, of abstract group type Zn. In 3D there are
also other symmetry groups which are algebraically the same, see Symmetry groups in 3D that are cyclic as abstract
group.
Note that the group S1 of all rotations of a circle (the circle group) is not cyclic, since it is not even countable.
The nth roots of unity form a cyclic group of order n under multiplication. e.g.,
where and a group of under
multiplication is cyclic.
The Galois group of every finite field extension of a finite field is finite and cyclic; conversely, given a finite field F
and a finite cyclic group G, there is a finite field extension of F whose Galois group is G.
Representation
The cycle graphs of finite cyclic groups are all n-sided polygons with the elements at the vertices. The dark vertex in
the cycle graphs below stand for the identity element, and the other vertices are the other elements of the group. A
cycle consists of successive powers of either of the elements connected to the identity element.
C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8
The representation theory of the cyclic group is a critical base case for the representation theory of more general
finite groups. In the complex case, a representation of a cyclic group decomposes into a direct sum of linear
characters, making the connection between character theory and representation theory transparent. In the positive
characteristic case, the indecomposable representations of the cyclic group form a model and inductive basis for the
representation theory of groups with cyclic Sylow subgroups and more generally the representation theory of blocks
of cyclic defect.
divisibility. In particular, a cyclic group is simple if and only if its order (the number of its elements) is prime.[1]
Using the quotient group formalism, Z/nZ is a standard notation for the additive cyclic group with n elements. In
ring terminology, the subgroup nZ is also the ideal (n), so the quotient can also be written Z/(n) or Z/n without abuse
of notation. These alternatives do not conflict with the notation for the p-adic integers. The last form is very common
in informal calculations; it has the additional advantage that it reads the same way that the group or ring is often
described verbally, "Zee mod en".
As a practical problem, one may be given a finite subgroup C of order n, generated by an element g, and asked to
find the size m of the subgroup generated by gk for some integer k. Here m will be the smallest integer > 0 such that
mk is divisible by n. It is therefore n/m where m = (k, n) is the greatest common divisor of k and n. Put another way,
the index of the subgroup generated by gk is m. This reasoning is known as the index calculus algorithm, in number
theory.
Endomorphisms
The endomorphism ring of the abelian group Z/nZ is isomorphic to Z/nZ itself as a ring. Under this isomorphism,
the number r corresponds to the endomorphism of Z/nZ that maps each element to the sum of r copies of it. This is a
bijection if and only if r is coprime with n, so the automorphism group of Z/nZ is isomorphic to the unit group
(Z/nZ)× (see above).
Similarly, the endomorphism ring of the additive group Z is isomorphic to the ring Z. Its automorphism group is
isomorphic to the group of units of the ring Z, i.e. to {−1, +1} C2.

Dihedral group 44
Dihedral group
In mathematics, a dihedral group is the group of symmetries of a
regular polygon, including both rotations and reflections.[1] Dihedral
groups are among the simplest examples of finite groups, and they play
an important role in group theory, geometry, and chemistry.
See also: Dihedral symmetry in three dimensions.
Notation
There are two competing notations for the dihedral group associated to
a polygon with n sides. In geometry the group is denoted Dn, while in
algebra the same group is denoted by D2n to indicate the number of

regular hexagon.
In this article, Dn (and sometimes Dihn) refers to the symmetries of a
regular polygon with n sides.
Definition
Elements
A regular polygon with n sides has 2n different symmetries: n
rotational symmetries and n reflection symmetries. The associated
rotations and reflections make up the dihedral group Dn. If n is odd
each axis of symmetry connects the mid-point of one side to the
opposite vertex. If n is even there are n/2 axes of symmetry connecting
the mid-points of opposite sides and n/2 axes of symmetry connecting
opposite vertices. In either case, there are n axes of symmetry
altogether and 2n elements in the symmetry group. Reflecting in one
axis of symmetry followed by reflecting in another axis of symmetry
produces a rotation through twice the angle between the axes. The
following picture shows the effect of the sixteen elements of D8 on a
stop sign: The six reflection symmetries of a regular
hexagon
The first row shows the effect of the eight rotations, and the second row shows the effect of the eight reflections.
Dihedral group 45
Group structure
As with any geometric object, the composition of two symmetries of a regular polygon is again a symmetry. This
operation gives the symmetries of a polygon the algebraic structure of a finite group.
The following Cayley table shows the effect of composition in the
group D3 (the symmetries of an equilateral triangle). R0 denotes the
identity; R1 and R2 denote counterclockwise rotations by 120 and 240
degrees; and S0, S1, and S2 denote reflections across the three lines
shown in the picture to the right.
R0 R1 R2 S0 S1 S2
R0 R0 R1 R2 S0 S1 S2
R1 R1 R2 R0 S1 S2 S0
R2 R2 R0 R1 S2 S0 S1
S0 S0 S2 S1 R0 R2 R1
S1 S1 S0 S2 R1 R0 R2
S2 S2 S1 S0 R2 R1 R0
For example, S2S1 = R1 because the reflection S1 followed by the reflection S2 results in a 120-degree rotation. (This
is the normal backwards order for composition.) Note that the composition operation is not commutative.
In general, the group Dn has elements R0,...,Rn−1 and S0,...,Sn−1, with composition given by the following formulae:
In all cases, addition and subtraction of subscripts should be performed using modular arithmetic with modulus n.
Dihedral group 46
Matrix representation
If we center the regular polygon at the origin, then elements of the
dihedral group act as linear transformations of the plane. This lets us
represent elements of Dn as matrices, with composition being matrix
multiplication. This is an example of a (2-dimensional) group
representation.
For example, the elements of the group D4 can be represented by the
following eight matrices:
Rk is a rotation matrix, expressing a counterclockwise rotation through an angle of 2πk ⁄ n. Sk is a reflection across a
line that makes an angle of πk ⁄ n with the x-axis.
(in geometric terms: in the mirror a rotation looks like an inverse rotation).
In matrix form, an anti-clockwise rotation and a reflection in the x-axis are given by
and defining and for we can write the product rules for Dn as
The 2n elements of Dn can be written as e, r, r2, ..., rn−1, s, r s, r2 s, ..., rn−1 s. The first n listed elements are rotations
and the remaining n elements are axis-reflections (all of which have order 2). The product of two rotations or two
reflections is a rotation; the product of a rotation and a reflection is a reflection.
So far, we have considered Dn to be a subgroup of O(2), i.e. the group of rotations (about the origin) and reflections
(across axes through the origin) of the plane. However, notation Dn is also used for a subgroup of SO(3) which is
also of abstract group type Dihn: the proper symmetry group of a regular polygon embedded in three-dimensional
space (if n ≥ 3). Such a figure may be considered as a degenerate regular solid with its face counted twice. Therefore
it is also called a dihedron (Greek: solid with two faces), which explains the name dihedral group (in analogy to
tetrahedral, octahedral and icosahedral group, referring to the proper symmetry groups of a regular tetrahedron,
octahedron, and icosahedron respectively).
Equivalent definitions
Further equivalent definitions of Dihn are:
• The automorphism group of the graph consisting only of a cycle with n vertices (if n ≥ 3).
• The group with presentation

(The only finite groups that can be generated by two elements of order 2 are the dihedral groups and the cyclic
groups. If the two elements of order 2 are distinct, then the group generated is dihedral.)
From the second presentation follows that Dihn belongs to the class of coxeter groups.
• The semidirect product of cyclic groups Zn and Z2, with Z2 acting on Zn by inversion (thus, Dihn always has a
normal subgroup isomorphic to the group Zn
is isomorphic to Dihn if φ(0) is the identity and φ(1) is inversion.
Dihedral group 49
Properties
If we consider Dihn (n ≥ 3) as the symmetry group of a regular n-gon and number the polygon's vertices, we see that
Dihn is a subgroup of the symmetric group Sn via this permutation representation.
The properties of the dihedral groups Dihn with n ≥ 3 depend on whether n is even or odd. For example, the center of
Dihn consists only of the identity if n is odd, but if n is even the center has two elements, namely the identity and the
element rn / 2 (with Dn as a subgroup of O(2), this is inversion; since it is scalar multiplication by −1, it is clear that it
commutes with any linear transformation).
For odd n, abstract group Dih2n is isomorphic with the direct product of Dihn and Z2.
In the case of 2D isometries, this corresponds to adding inversion, giving rotations and mirrors in between the
existing ones.
If m divides n, then Dihn has n / m subgroups of type Dihm, and one subgroup Zm. Therefore the total number of
subgroups of Dihn (n ≥ 1), is equal to d(n) + σ(n), where d(n) is the number of positive divisors of n and σ(n) is the
sum of the positive divisors of n. See list of small groups for the cases n ≤ 8.
Automorphism group
The automorphism group of Dihn is isomorphic to the affine group Aff(Z/nZ) and has
order where is Euler's totient function, the number of k in coprime to n.
It can be understood in terms of the generators of a reflection and an elementary rotation (rotation by , for
k coprime to n); which automorphisms are inner and outer depends on the parity of n.
• For n odd, the dihedral group is centerless, so any element defines a non-trivial inner automorphism; for n even,
the rotation by 180° (reflection through the origin) is the non-trivial element of the center.
• Thus for n odd, the inner automorphism group has order 2n, and for n even the inner automorphism group has
order n.
• For n odd, all reflections are conjugate; for n even, they fall into two classes (those through two vertices and those
through two faces), related by an outer automorphism, which can be represented by rotation by (half the
minimal rotation).
• The rotations are a normal subgroup; conjugation by a reflection changes the sign (direction) of the rotation, but
otherwise leaves them unchanged. Thus automorphisms that multiply angles by k (coprime to n) are outer unless
Dihedral group 50
Generalizations
There are several important generalizations of the dihedral groups:
• The infinite dihedral group is an infinite group with algebraic structure similar to the finite dihedral groups. It can
be viewed as the group of symmetries of the integers.
• The orthogonal group O(2), i.e. the symmetry group of the circle, also has similar properties to the dihedral
groups.
• The family of generalized dihedral groups includes both of the examples above, as well as many other groups.
• The quasidihedral groups are family of finite groups with similar properties to the dihedral groups.

Lattice (group) 51
Lattice (group)
In mathematics, especially in geometry and group
theory, a lattice in Rn is a discrete subgroup of Rn
which spans the real vector space Rn. Every lattice in
Rn can be generated from a basis for the vector space
by forming all linear combinations with integer
coefficients. A lattice may be viewed as a regular tiling
of a space by a primitive cell.
where {v1, ..., vn} is a basis for Rn. Different bases can generate the same lattice, but the absolute value of the
determinant of the vectors vi is uniquely determined by Λ, and is denoted by d(Λ). If one thinks of a lattice as
dividing the whole of Rn into equal polyhedra (copies of an n-dimensional parallelepiped, known as the fundamental
region of the lattice), then d(Λ) is equal to the n-dimensional volume of this polyhedron. This is why d(Λ) is
sometimes called the covolume of the lattice.
Lattice (group) 52
ad-bc is 1 or -1. This ensures that p and q themselves are integer linear combinations of the other two vectors. Each
pair p, q defines a parallelogram, all with the same area, the magnitude of the cross product. One parallelogram fully
defines the whole object. Without further symmetry, this parallelogram is a fundamental parallelogram.
The vectors p and q can be represented by complex numbers. Up to size and orientation, a pair can be represented by
their quotient. Expressed geometrically: if two lattice points are 0 and 1, we consider the position of a third lattice
point. Equivalence in the sense of generating the same lattice is represented by the modular group:
represents choosing a different third point in the same grid, represents choosing a different side of
the triangle as reference side 0-1, which in general implies changing the scaling of the lattice, and rotating it. Each
"curved triangle" in the image contains for each 2D lattice shape one complex number, the grey area is a canonical
representation, corresponding to the classification above, with 0 and 1 two lattice points that are closest to each
other; duplication is avoided by including only half of the boundary. The rhombic lattices are represented by the
points on its boundary, with the hexagonal lattice as vertex, and i for the square lattice. The rectangular lattices are at
the imaginary axis, and the remaining area represents the parallelogrammetic lattices, with the mirror image of a
parallelogram represented by the mirror image in the imaginary axis.
In Lie groups
More generally, a lattice Γ in a Lie group G is a discrete subgroup, such that the quotient G/Γ is of finite measure,
for the measure on it inherited from Haar measure on G (left-invariant, or right-invariant—the definition is
independent of that choice). That will certainly be the case when G/Γ is compact, but that sufficient condition is not
necessary, as is shown by the case of the modular group in SL2(R), which is a lattice but where the quotient isn't
compact (it has cusps). There are general results stating the existence of lattices in Lie groups.
A lattice is said to be uniform or cocompact if G/Γ is compact; otherwise the lattice is called non-uniform.
Lattice (group) 54
Different bases will in general generate different lattices. However, if the transition matrix between the bases
is in - the general linear group of R (in simple terms this means that all the entries of are in and all
the entries of are in - which is equivalent to saying that the determinant of is in - the unit group of
elements in with multiplicative inverses) then the lattices generated by these bases will be isomorphic since
induces an isomorphism between the two lattices.
Important cases of such lattices occur in number theory with K a p-adic field and R the p-adic integers.
For a vector space which is also an inner product space, the dual lattice can be concretely described by the set:
or equivalently as,

Wallpaper group
A wallpaper group (or plane symmetry group or
plane crystallographic group) is a mathematical
classification of a two-dimensional repetitive pattern,
based on the symmetries in the pattern. Such patterns
occur frequently in architecture and decorative art.
There are 17 possible distinct groups.
Introduction
Wallpaper groups categorize patterns by their
symmetries. Subtle differences may place similar
patterns in different groups, while patterns that are very Example of an Egyptian design with wallpaper group p4m
different in style, color, scale or orientation may belong
to the same group.
Consider the following examples:
Wallpaper group 55
Example A: Cloth, Tahiti Example B: Ornamental painting, Nineveh, Example C: Painted porcelain, China
Assyria
Examples A and B have the same wallpaper group; it is called p4m. Example C has a different wallpaper group,
called p4g. The fact that A and B have the same wallpaper group means that they have the same symmetries,
regardless of details of the designs, whereas C has a different set of symmetries despite any superficial similarities.
A complete list of all seventeen possible wallpaper groups can be found below.
Symmetries of patterns
A symmetry of a pattern is, loosely speaking, a way of transforming the pattern so that the pattern looks exactly the
same after the transformation. For example, translational symmetry is present when the pattern can be translated
(shifted) some finite distance and appear unchanged. Think of shifting a set of vertical stripes horizontally by one
stripe. The pattern is unchanged. Strictly speaking, a true symmetry only exists in patterns that repeat exactly and
continue indefinitely. A set of only, say, five stripes does not have translational symmetry — when shifted, the stripe
on one end "disappears" and a new stripe is "added" at the other end. In practice, however, classification is applied to
finite patterns, and small imperfections may be ignored.
Sometimes two categorizations are meaningful, one based on shapes alone and one also including colors. When
colors are ignored there may be more symmetry. In black and white there are also 17 wallpaper groups; e.g., a
colored tiling is equivalent with one in black and white with the colors coded radially in a circularly symmetric "bar
code" in the centre of mass of each tile.
The types of transformations that are relevant here are called Euclidean plane isometries. For example:
• If we shift example B one unit to the right, so that each square covers the square that was originally adjacent to it,
then the resulting pattern is exactly the same as the pattern we started with. This type of symmetry is called a
translation. Examples A and C are similar, except that the smallest possible shifts are in diagonal directions.
• If we turn example B clockwise by 90°, around the centre of one of the squares, again we obtain exactly the same
pattern. This is called a rotation. Examples A and C also have 90° rotations, although it requires a little more
ingenuity to find the correct centre of rotation for C.
• We can also flip example B across a horizontal axis that runs across the middle of the image. This is called a
reflection. Example B also has reflections across a vertical axis, and across two diagonal axes. The same can be
said for A.
However, example C is different. It only has reflections in horizontal and vertical directions, not across diagonal
axes. If we flip across a diagonal line, we do not get the same pattern back; what we do get is the original pattern
shifted across by a certain distance. This is part of the reason that the wallpaper group of A and B is different from
the wallpaper group of C.
Wallpaper group 56
History
All 17 groups were used by Egyptian craftsmen, and used extensively in the Muslim world. A proof that there were
only 17 possible patterns was first carried out by Evgraf Fedorov in 1891[1] and then derived independently by
George Pólya in 1924.[2] [3]
Crystallographic notation
Crystallography has 230 space groups to distinguish, far more than the 17 wallpaper groups, but many of the
symmetries in the groups are the same. Thus we can use a similar notation for both kinds of groups, that of Carl
Hermann and Charles-Victor Mauguin. An example of a full wallpaper name in Hermann-Mauguin style is p31m,
with four letters or digits; more usual is a shortened name like cmm or pg.
For wallpaper groups the full notation begins with either p or c, for a primitive cell or a face-centred cell; these are
explained below. This is followed by a digit, n, indicating the highest order of rotational symmetry: 1-fold (none),
2-fold, 3-fold, 4-fold, or 6-fold. The next two symbols indicate symmetries relative to one translation axis of the
pattern, referred to as the "main" one; if there is a mirror perpendicular to a translation axis we choose that axis as
the main one (or if there are two, one of them). The symbols are either m, g, or 1, for mirror, glide reflection, or
none. The axis of the mirror or glide reflection is perpendicular to the main axis for the first letter, and either parallel
or tilted 180°/n (when n > 2) for the second letter. Many groups include other symmetries implied by the given ones.
The short notation drops digits or an m that can be deduced, so long as that leaves no confusion with another group.
A primitive cell is a minimal region repeated by lattice translations. All but two wallpaper symmetry groups are
described with respect to primitive cell axes, a coordinate basis using the translation vectors of the lattice. In the
remaining two cases symmetry description is with respect to centred cells that are larger than the primitive cell, and
hence have internal repetition; the directions of their sides is different from those of the translation vectors spanning
a primitive cell. Hermann-Mauguin notation for crystal space groups uses additional cell types.
Examples
• p2 (p211): Primitive cell, 2-fold rotation symmetry, no mirrors or glide reflections.
• p4g (p4gm): Primitive cell, 4-fold rotation, glide reflection perpendicular to main axis, mirror axis at 45°.
• cmm (c2mm): Centred cell, 2-fold rotation, mirror axes both perpendicular and parallel to main axis.
• p31m (p31m): Primitive cell, 3-fold rotation, mirror axis at 60°.
Here are all the names that differ in short and full notation.
Wallpaper group 58
Full p211 p1m1 p1g1 c1m1 p2mm p2mg p2gg c2mm p4mm p4gm p6mm
The remaining names are p1, p3, p3m1, p31m, p4, and p6.
Orbifold notation
Orbifold notation for wallpaper groups, introduced by John Horton Conway (Conway, 1992), is based not on
crystallography, but on topology. We fold the infinite periodic tiling of the plane into its essence, an orbifold, then
describe that with a few symbols.
• A digit, n, indicates a centre of n-fold rotation corresponding to a cone point on the orbifold. By the
crystallographic restriction theorem, n must be 2, 3, 4, or 6.
• An asterisk, *, indicates a mirror symmetry corresponding to a boundary of the orbifold. It interacts with the
digits as follows:
1. Digits before * denote centres of pure rotation (cyclic).
2. Digits after * denote centres of rotation with mirrors through them, corresponding to "corners" on the
boundary of the orbifold (dihedral).
• A cross, x, occurs when a glide reflection is present and indicates a crosscap on the orbifold. Pure mirrors
combine with lattice translation to produce glides, but those are already accounted for so we do not notate them.
• The "no symmetry" symbol, o, stands alone, and indicates we have only lattice translations with no other
symmetry. The orbifold with this symbol is a torus; in general the symbol o denotes a handle on the orbifold.
Consider the group denoted in crystallographic notation by cmm; in Conway's notation, this will be 2*22. The 2
before the * says we have a 2-fold rotation centre with no mirror through it. The * itself says we have a mirror. The
first 2 after the * says we have a 2-fold rotation centre on a mirror. The final 2 says we have an independent second
2-fold rotation centre on a mirror, one that is not a duplicate of the first one under symmetries.
The group denoted by pgg will be 22x. We have two pure 2-fold rotation centres, and a glide reflection axis.
Contrast this with pmg, Conway 22*, where crystallographic notation mentions a glide, but one that is implicit in the
other symmetries of the orbifold.
Crystal. p1 pg cm pm p6 p6m
the Euler characteristic is positive then the orbifold has a elliptic (spherical) structure; if it is zero then it has a
parabolic structure, i.e. a wallpaper group; and if it is negative it will have a hyperbolic structure. When the full set
of possible orbifolds is enumerated it is found that only 17 have Euler characteristic 0.
When an orbifold replicates by symmetry to fill the plane, its features create a structure of vertices, edges, and
polygon faces, which must be consistent with the Euler characteristic. Reversing the process, we can assign numbers
to the features of the orbifold, but fractions, rather than whole numbers. Because the orbifold itself is a quotient of
the full surface by the symmetry group, the orbifold Euler characteristic is a quotient of the surface Euler
characteristic by the order of the symmetry group.
The orbifold Euler characteristic is 2 minus the sum of the feature values, assigned as follows:
• A digit n before a * counts as (n−1)/n.
• A digit n after a * counts as (n−1)/2n.
• Both * and x count as 1.
• The "no symmetry" o counts as 2.
For a wallpaper group, the sum for the characteristic must be zero; thus the feature sum must be 2.
Examples
• 632: 5/6 + 2/3 + 1/2 = 2
• 3*3: 2/3 + 1 + 1/3 = 2
• 4*2: 3/4 + 1 + 1/4 = 2
• 22x: 1/2 + 1/2 + 1 = 2
Now enumeration of all wallpaper groups becomes a matter of arithmetic, of listing all feature strings with values
summing to 2.
Incidentally, feature strings with other sums are not nonsense; they imply non-planar tilings, not discussed here.
(When the orbifold Euler characteristic is negative, the tiling is hyperbolic; when positive, spherical or bad).

Lattice types
There are five lattice types, corresponding to the five possible wallpaper groups of the lattice itself. The wallpaper
group of a pattern with this lattice of translational symmetry cannot have more, but may have less symmetry than the
lattice itself.
• In the 5 cases of rotational symmetry of order 3 or 6, the cell consists of two equilateral triangles (hexagonal
lattice, itself p6m).
• In the 3 cases of rotational symmetry of order 4, the cell is a square (square lattice, itself p4m).
• In the 5 cases of reflection or glide reflection, but not both, the cell is a rectangle (rectangular lattice, itself pmm),
therefore the diagrams show a rectangle, but a special case is that it actually is a square.

• In the 2 cases of reflection combined with glide reflection, the cell is a rhombus (rhombic lattice, itself cmm); a
special case is that it actually is a square.
• In the case of only rotational symmetry of order 2, and the case of no other symmetry than translational, the cell is
in general a parallelogram (parallelogrammatic lattice, itself p2), therefore the diagrams show a parallelogram,
but special cases are that it actually is a rectangle, rhombus, or square.
Symmetry groups
The actual symmetry group should be distinguished from the wallpaper group. Wallpaper groups are collections of
symmetry groups. There are 17 of these collections, but for each collection there are infinitely many symmetry
groups, in the sense of actual groups of isometries. These depend, apart from the wallpaper group, on a number of
parameters for the translation vectors, the orientation and position of the reflection axes and rotation centers.
The numbers of degrees of freedom are:
• 6 for p2
• 5 for pmm, pmg, pgg, and cmm
• 4 for the rest.
However, within each wallpaper group, all symmetry groups are algebraically isomorphic.
Some symmetry group isomorphisms:
• p1: Z2
• pm: Z × D∞
• pmm: D∞ × D∞.
