The group depends only on the dimension n of the space, and is commonly denoted E(n) or ISO(n), for inhomogeneous special orthogonal group. The Euclidean group E(n) comprises all translations, rotations, and reflections of ; and arbitrary finite combinations of them.
The map is a group homomorphism from the Euclidean group onto the group of linear isometries, called the orthogonal group. The kernel of this homomorphism is the translation group, showing that it is a normal subgroup of the Euclidean group.
The isometry group of a two-dimensional sphere is the orthogonal group O(3). [3] The isometry group of the n-dimensional Euclidean space is the Euclidean group E(n). [4] The isometry group of the Poincaré disc model of the hyperbolic plane is the projective special unitary group PSU(1,1).
The rotation group generalizes quite naturally to n-dimensional Euclidean space, with its standard Euclidean structure. The group of all proper and improper rotations in n dimensions is called the orthogonal group O(n), and the subgroup of proper rotations is called the special orthogonal group SO(n), which is a Lie group of dimension n(n − 1)/2.
This article summarizes the classes of discrete symmetry groups of the Euclidean plane.The symmetry groups are named here by three naming schemes: International notation, orbifold notation, and Coxeter notation.
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.
Let E(n) be the group of the Euclidean isometries of a Euclidean space S of dimension n. This group does not depend on the choice of a particular space, since all Euclidean spaces of the same dimension are isomorphic. The stabilizer subgroup of a point x ∈ S is the subgroup of the elements g ∈ E(n) such that g(x) = x.
In mathematics, a dihedral group is the group of symmetries of a regular polygon, [1] [2] ... is the group of Euclidean plane isometries which keep the origin fixed.
