Relation Between Orbifold Notation and Order
The order of each group is 2 divided by the orbifold Euler characteristic; the latter is 2 minus the sum of the feature values, assigned as follows:
- n without or before * counts as (n−1)/n
- n after * counts as (n−1)/(2n)
- * and x count as 1
This can also be applied for wallpaper groups and frieze groups: for them, the sum of the feature values is 2, giving an infinite order; see orbifold Euler characteristic for wallpaper groups
