On the other hand, reflection groups are concrete, in the sense that each of its elements is the composite of finitely many geometric reflections about linear hyperplanes in some euclidean space. Technically, a reflection group is a subgroup of a linear group (or various generalizations) generated by orthogonal matrices of determinant -1.
These groups are characterized by i) an n-fold proper rotation axis C n; ii) n 2-fold proper rotation axes C 2 normal to C n; iii) a mirror plane σ h normal to C n and containing the C 2 s. The D 1 h group is the same as the C 2 v group in the pyramidal groups section.
The two iterated integrals are therefore equal. On the other hand, since f xy (x,y) is continuous, the second iterated integral can be performed by first integrating over x and then afterwards over y. But then the iterated integral of f yx − f xy on [a,b] × [c,d] must vanish.
If x is a reflection point (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, or 25), its stabilizer is the group of order two containing the identity and the reflection in x. In other cases the stabilizer is the trivial group. For a fixed x in X, consider the map from G to X given by g ↦ g · x. The image of this map is the orbit of x and the coimage is the set of all left ...
D 1 is the 2-element group containing the identity operation and a single reflection, which occurs when the figure has only a single axis of bilateral symmetry, for example the letter "A". D 2, which is isomorphic to the Klein four-group, is the symmetry group of a non-equilateral rectangle. This figure has four symmetry operations: the ...
The dihedral group D 2 is generated by the rotation r of 180 degrees, and the reflection s across the x-axis. The elements of D 2 can then be represented as {e, r, s, rs}, where e is the identity or null transformation and rs is the reflection across the y-axis. The four elements of D 2 (x-axis is vertical here) D 2 is isomorphic to the Klein ...

Suppose X and Y in the Lie algebra are given. Their exponentials, exp(X) and exp(Y), are rotation matrices, which can be multiplied. Since the exponential map is a surjection, for some Z in the Lie algebra, exp(Z) = exp(X) exp(Y), and one may tentatively write = (,), for C some expression in X and Y.
