Point Groups in Three Dimensions - Relation Between Orbifold Notation and Order

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

Famous quotes containing the words relation between, relation and/or order:

    You know there are no secrets in America. It’s quite different in England, where people think of a secret as a shared relation between two people.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    Whoever has a keen eye for profits, is blind in relation to his craft.
    Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)

    While I am in favor of the Government promptly enforcing the laws for the present, defending the forts and collecting the revenue, I am not in favor of a war policy with a view to the conquest of any of the slave States; except such as are needed to give us a good boundary. If Maryland attempts to go off, suppress her in order to save the Potomac and the District of Columbia. Cut a piece off of western Virginia and keep Missouri and all the Territories.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
