In mathematics, the infinite dihedral group Dih ∞ is an infinite group with properties analogous to those of the finite dihedral groups. In two-dimensional geometry , the infinite dihedral group represents the frieze group symmetry, p 1 m 1, seen as an infinite set of parallel reflections along an axis.
The finite group notation used is: Z n: cyclic group of order n, D n: dihedral group isomorphic to the symmetry group of an n–sided regular polygon, S n: symmetric group on n letters, and A n: alternating group on n letters. The character tables then follow for all groups.
The abstract group type is dihedral group Dih n, which is also denoted by D n. However, there are three more infinite series of symmetry groups with this abstract group type: C nv of order 2n, the symmetry group of a regular n-sided pyramid; D nd of order 4n, the symmetry group of a regular n-sided antiprism; D nh of order 4n for odd n.
The infinite dihedral group is an infinite group with algebraic structure similar to the finite dihedral groups. It can be viewed as the group of symmetries of the integers. The orthogonal group O(2), i.e., the symmetry group of the circle, also has similar properties to the dihedral groups.
Finite spherical symmetry groups are also called point groups in three dimensions. There are five fundamental symmetry classes which have triangular fundamental domains: dihedral, cyclic, tetrahedral, octahedral, and icosahedral symmetry. This article lists the groups by Schoenflies notation, Coxeter notation, [1] orbifold notation, [2] and order.
The 7 frieze groups, the two-dimensional line groups, with a direction of periodicity are given with five notational names. The Schönflies notation is given as infinite limits of 7 dihedral groups. The yellow regions represent the infinite fundamental domain in each.

The dihedral group of order 8 is isomorphic to the permutation group generated by (1234) and (13). The numbers in this table come from numbering the 4! = 24 permutations of S 4 , which Dih 4 is a subgroup of, from 0 (shown as a black circle) to 23.
