In geometry, a point group in four dimensions is an isometry group in four dimensions that leaves the origin fixed, or correspondingly, an isometry group of a 3-sphere. 1889 Édouard Goursat, Sur les substitutions orthogonales et les divisions régulières de l'espace, Annales Scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure, Sér. 3, 6, (pp. 9–102, pp. 80–81 tetrahedra), Goursat tetrahedron 1951, A.

Point groups in this article are given in Coxeter notation, which are based on Coxeter groups, with markups for extended groups and subgroups. Coxeter notation has a direct correspondence the Coxeter diagram like [3,3,3], [4,3,3], [31,1,1], [3,4,3], [5,3,3], and [p,2,q]. These groups bound the 3-sphere into identical hyperspherical tetrahedral domains. The number of domains is the order of the group.
