For n = 5, the Schur cover of the alternating group is given by SL(2, 5) → PSL(2, 5) ≅ A 5, which can also be thought of as the binary icosahedral group covering the icosahedral group. Though PGL(2, 5) ≅ S 5 , GL(2, 5) → PGL(2, 5) is not a Schur cover as the kernel is not contained in the derived subgroup of GL(2 ,5).
In geometry, an alternation or partial truncation, is an operation on a polygon, polyhedron, tiling, or higher dimensional polytope that removes alternate vertices. [1] Coxeter labels an alternation by a prefixed h, standing for hemi or half. Because alternation reduces all polygon faces to half as many sides, it can only be applied to ...
Because of its reversal, the Bilinski dodecahedron has a lower order of symmetry; its symmetry group is that of a rectangular cuboid: D 2h, [2,2], (*222), of order 8. This is a subgroup of octahedral symmetry; its elements are three 2-fold symmetry axes, three symmetry planes (which are also the axial planes of this solid), and a center of inversion symmetry.
A 4 is isomorphic to PSL 2 (3) [1] and the symmetry group of chiral tetrahedral symmetry. A 5 is isomorphic to PSL 2 (4), PSL 2 (5), and the symmetry group of chiral icosahedral symmetry. (See [1] for an indirect isomorphism of PSL 2 (F 5) → A 5 using a classification of simple groups of order 60, and here for a direct proof). A 6 is ...
As 14 = 2 × 7, a regular tetradecagon cannot be constructed using a compass and straightedge. [1] However, it is constructible using neusis with use of the angle trisector, [2] or with a marked ruler, [3] as shown in the following two examples.
The longest alternating subsequence problem has also been studied in the setting of online algorithms, in which the elements of are presented in an online fashion, and a decision maker needs to decide whether to include or exclude each element at the time it is first presented, without any knowledge of the elements that will be presented in the future, and without the possibility of recalling ...
A formula for computing the trigonometric identities for the one-third angle exists, but it requires finding the zeroes of the cubic equation 4x 3 − 3x + d = 0, where is the value of the cosine function at the one-third angle and d is the known value of the cosine function at the full angle.
