Complex Reflection Group - List of Irreducible Complex Reflection Groups

List of Irreducible Complex Reflection Groups

There are a few duplicates in the first 3 lines of this list; see the previous section for details.

  • ST is the Shephard–Todd number of the reflection group.
  • Rank is the dimension of the complex vector space the group acts on.
  • Structure describes the structure of the group. The symbol * stands for a central product of two groups. For rank 2, the quotient by the (cyclic) center is the group of rotations of a tetrahedron, octahedron, or icosahedron (T = Alt(4), O = Sym(4), I = Alt(5), of orders 12, 24, 60), as stated in the table. For the notation 21+4, see extra special group.
  • Order is the number of elements of the group.
  • Reflections describes the number of reflections: 26412 means that there are 6 reflections of order 2 and 12 of order 4.
  • Degrees gives the degrees of the fundamental invariants of the ring of polynomial invariants. For example, the invariants of group number 4 form a polynomial ring with 2 generators of degrees 4 and 6.

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, irreducible, complex, reflection and/or groups:

    “The advice of their elders to young men is very apt to be as unreal as a list of the hundred best books.”
    —Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (1841–1935)

    “My list of things I never pictured myself saying when I pictured myself as a parent has grown over the years.”
    —Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)

    “If an irreducible distinction between theatre and cinema does exist, it may be this: Theatre is confined to a logical or continuous use of space. Cinema ... has access to an alogical or discontinuous use of space.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    “In the case of all other sciences, arts, skills, and crafts, everyone is convinced that a complex and laborious programme of learning and practice is necessary for competence. Yet when it comes to philosophy, there seems to be a currently prevailing prejudice to the effect that, although not everyone who has eyes and fingers, and is given leather and last, is at once in a position to make shoes, everyone nevertheless immediately understands how to philosophize.”
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

    “The reflection of her here, and then there,
    Is another shadow, another evasion,
    Another denial. If she is everywhere,
    She is nowhere, to him.
    But this she has made.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Belonging to a group can provide the child with a variety of resources that an individual friendship often cannot—a sense of collective participation, experience with organizational roles, and group support in the enterprise of growing up. Groups also pose for the child some of the most acute problems of social life—of inclusion and exclusion, conformity and independence.”
    —Zick Rubin (20th century)
