List of Planar Symmetry Groups - Frieze Groups

Frieze Groups

The 7 frieze groups, the two-dimensional line groups, with a direction of periodicity are given with five notational names. The Schönflies notation is given as infinite limits of 7 dihedral groups. The yellow regions represent the infinite fundamental domain in each. Simple example images are given as periodic tilings on a cylinder with a periodicity of 6.

Famous quotes containing the words frieze and/or groups:

    “And the serial continues:
    Pain, expiation, delight, more pain,
    A frieze that lengthens continually, in the lucky way
    Friezes do, and no plot is produced,
    Nothing you could hang an identifying question on.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “As in political revolutions, so in paradigm choice—there is no standard higher than the assent of the relevant community. To discover how scientific revolutions are effected, we shall therefore have to examine not only the impact of nature and of logic, but also the techniques of persuasive argumentation effective within the quite special groups that constitute the community of scientists.”
    —Thomas S. Kuhn (b. 1922)
