... of the graph, then we also know the remaining portion of the graph as well. When we were graphing parabolas, we used this fact to get an extra point on some of the graphs. 1. A graph is said to be symmetric about the x-axisif whenever (a, b) is on the graph then so is (a, -b). Here is a sketch of a ...

... Such considerations, when combined with the fact that σ 3 = id, make it clear that the product of any two elements of the set {id, σ, σ 2 , τ, στ, σ 2 τ } will always be another element of the same set. Furthermore, if σ i τ j = σ k τ l then σ i−k = τ l−j ; however, the only permutation which is bot ...

Point groups in three dimensions

In geometry, a point group in three dimensions is an isometry group in three dimensions that leaves the origin fixed, or correspondingly, an isometry group of a sphere. It is a subgroup of the orthogonal group O(3), the group of all isometries that leave the origin fixed, or correspondingly, the group of orthogonal matrices. O(3) itself is a subgroup of the Euclidean group E(3) of all isometries.Symmetry groups of objects are isometry groups. Accordingly, analysis of isometry groups is analysis of possible symmetries. All isometries of a bounded 3D object have one or more common fixed points. We choose the origin as one of them.The symmetry group of an object is sometimes also called full symmetry group, as opposed to its rotation group or proper symmetry group, the intersection of its full symmetry group and the rotation group SO(3) of the 3D space itself. The rotation group of an object is equal to its full symmetry group if and only if the object is chiral.The point groups in three dimensions are heavily used in chemistry, especially to describe the symmetries of a molecule and of molecular orbitals forming covalent bonds, and in this context they are also called molecular point groups.Finite Coxeter groups are a special set of point groups generated purely by a set of reflectional mirrors passing through the same point. A rank n Coxeter group has n mirrors and is represented by a Coxeter-Dynkin diagram. Coxeter notation offers a bracketed notation equivalent to the Coxeter diagram, with markup symbols for rotational and other subsymmetry point groups.
