2. Burnside's lemma - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burnside's_lemma

   Burnside's lemma can compute the number of rotationally distinct colourings of the faces of a cube using three colours.. Let X be the set of 3 6 possible face color combinations that can be applied to a fixed cube, and let the rotation group G of the cube act on X by moving the colored faces: two colorings in X belong to the same orbit precisely when one is a rotation of the other.

   The rotation group is a Lie group of rotations about a fixed point. This (common) fixed point or center is called the center of rotation and is usually identified with the origin. The rotation group is a point stabilizer in a broader group of (orientation-preserving) motions. For a particular rotation: The axis of rotation is a line of its ...

4. Rubik's Cube group - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubik's_Cube_group

   The manipulations of the Rubik's Cube form the Rubik's Cube group. The Rubik's Cube group (,) represents the structure of the Rubik's Cube mechanical puzzle. Each element of the set corresponds to a cube move, which is the effect of any sequence of rotations of the cube's faces. With this representation, not only can any cube move be ...

   In mathematics, a rotor in the geometric algebra of a vector space V is the same thing as an element of the spin group Spin(V).We define this group below. Let V be a vector space equipped with a positive definite quadratic form q, and let Cl(V) be the geometric algebra associated to V.

6. Group (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_(mathematics)

   The manipulations of the Rubik's Cube form the Rubik's Cube group.. In mathematics, a group is a set with an operation that associates an element of the set to every pair of elements of the set (as does every binary operation) and satisfies the following constraints: the operation is associative, it has an identity element, and every element of the set has an inverse element.

   For example, the dihedral group D 8 of order sixteen can be generated by a rotation, r, of order 8; and a flip, f, of order 2; and certainly any element of D 8 is a product of r ' s and f ' s. However, we have, for example, rfr = f −1 , r 7 = r −1 , etc., so such products are not unique in D 8 .
