  2. 3D rotation group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_rotation_group

    In mechanics and geometry, the 3D rotation group, often denoted SO(3), is the group of all rotations about the origin of three-dimensional Euclidean space under the operation of composition. [ 1 ] By definition, a rotation about the origin is a transformation that preserves the origin, Euclidean distance (so it is an isometry ), and orientation ...

    In geometry the rotation group is the group of all rotations about the origin of three-dimensional Euclidean space R 3 under the operation of composition. [1] By definition, a rotation about the origin is a linear transformation that preserves length of vectors (it is an isometry) and preserves orientation (i.e. handedness) of space.

  4. Rotation (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    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 ...

    An object having symmetry group D n, D nh, or D nd has rotation group D n. An object having a polyhedral symmetry (T, T d, T h, O, O h, I or I h) has as its rotation group the corresponding one without a subscript: T, O or I. The rotation group of an object is equal to its full symmetry group if and only if the object is chiral. In other words ...

    The 17 wallpaper groups, with finite fundamental domains, are given by International notation, orbifold notation, and Coxeter notation, classified by the 5 Bravais lattices in the plane: square, oblique (parallelogrammatic), hexagonal (equilateral triangular), rectangular (centered rhombic), and rhombic (centered rectangular).

  9. Conjugation of isometries in Euclidean space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugation_of_isometries...

    The conjugate closure of a singleton containing a rotation in 3D is E + (3). In 2D it is different in the case of a k-fold rotation: the conjugate closure contains k rotations (including the identity) combined with all translations. E(2) has quotient group O(2) / C k and E + (2) has quotient group SO(2) / C k. For k = 2 this was already covered ...
