Binary octahedral groupIn mathematics, the binary octahedral group, name as 2O or is a certain nonabelian group of order 48. It is an extension of the chiral octahedral group O or (2,3,4) of order 24 by a cyclic group of order 2, and is the of the octahedral group under the 2:1 covering homomorphism of the special orthogonal group by the spin group. It follows that the binary octahedral group is a discrete subgroup of Spin(3) of order 48.
Binary tetrahedral groupIn mathematics, the binary tetrahedral group, denoted 2T or , is a certain nonabelian group of order 24. It is an extension of the tetrahedral group T or (2,3,3) of order 12 by a cyclic group of order 2, and is the of the tetrahedral group under the 2:1 covering homomorphism Spin(3) → SO(3) of the special orthogonal group by the spin group. It follows that the binary tetrahedral group is a discrete subgroup of Spin(3) of order 24. The complex reflection group named 3(24)3 by G.C.
Binary icosahedral groupIn mathematics, the binary icosahedral group 2I or is a certain nonabelian group of order 120. It is an extension of the icosahedral group I or (2,3,5) of order 60 by the cyclic group of order 2, and is the of the icosahedral group under the 2:1 covering homomorphism of the special orthogonal group by the spin group. It follows that the binary icosahedral group is a discrete subgroup of Spin(3) of order 120. It should not be confused with the full icosahedral group, which is a different group of order 120, and is rather a subgroup of the orthogonal group O(3).
Groupe dicycliqueEn algèbre et plus précisément en théorie des groupes, le groupe dicyclique (pour tout entier n ≥ 2) est défini par la présentation Les groupes () sont les groupes quaternioniques (les groupes dicycliques nilpotents). En particulier, est le groupe des quaternions. est un groupe non abélien d'ordre 4n, extension par le sous-groupe cyclique engendré par (normal et d'ordre 2n) d'un groupe d'ordre 2. Il est donc résoluble. Contrairement au groupe diédral D, cette extension n'est pas un produit semi-direct.
Point groups in three dimensionsIn 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. O(3) itself is a subgroup of the Euclidean group E(3) of all isometries. Symmetry groups of geometric objects are isometry groups. Accordingly, analysis of isometry groups is analysis of possible symmetries.
Groupe spinorielEn mathématiques, le groupe spinoriel de degré n, noté Spin(n), est un revêtement double particulier du groupe spécial orthogonal réel SO(n,R). C’est-à-dire qu’il existe une suite exacte de groupes de Lie On peut aussi définir les groupes spinoriels d'une forme quadratique non dégénérée sur un corps commutatif. Pour n > 2, Spin(n) est simplement connexe et coïncide avec le revêtement universel de SO(n,R). En tant que groupe de Lie, Spin(n) partage sa dimension n(n–1)/2 et son algèbre de Lie avec le groupe spécial orthogonal.
