On 2-generator Subgroups of So(3)
نویسندگان
چکیده
We classify all subgroups of SO(3) that are generated by two elements, each a rotation of finite order, about axes separated by an angle that is a rational multiple of π. In all cases we give a presentation of the subgroup. In most cases the subgroup is the free product, or the amalgamated free product, of cyclic groups or dihedral groups. The relations between the generators are all simple consequences of standard facts about rotations by π and π/2. Embedded in the subgroups are explicit free groups on 2 generators, as used in the Banach-Tarski paradox.

Isomorphism Types in Wreath Products and Effective Embeddings of Periodic Groups
For any finitely generated group Y, u(Y) denotes the Turing degree of the word problem of Y. Let G be any non-Abelian 2-generator group and B an infinite group generated by k > 1 elements. We prove that if t is any Turing degree with t > l.u.b.(co(G), u(ß)} then the unrestricted wreath product W = GWrB has a (k -f l)-generator subgroup H with u(H) = r. If B is also periodic, then W has a /c-gen...
متن کاملSubgroups of Cyclic Groups
In a group G, we denote the (cyclic) group of powers of some g ∈ G by 〈g〉 = {g : k ∈ Z}. If G = 〈g〉, then G itself is cyclic, with g as a generator. Examples of infinite cyclic groups include Z, with (additive) generator 1, and the group 2Z of integral powers of the real number 2, with generator 2. The most basic examples of finite cyclic groups are Z/(m) with (additive) generator 1 and μm = {z...
متن کاملTaxonomy of Clifford Cl3,0 subgroups: Choir and band groups
We list the subgroups of the basis set of Cl3,0 and classify them according to three criteria for construction of universal Clifford algebras: (1) each generator squares to ±1, (2) the generators within the group anticommute, and (3) the order of the resulting group is 2, where n is the number of nontrivial generators. Obedient groups we call choirs; disobedient groups, bands. We classify choir...
متن کاملSensitivity Analysis and Stray Capacitance of Helical Flux Compression Generator with Multi Layer Filamentary Conductor in Rectangular Cross-Section
This paper presents an approach to calculate the equivalent stray capacitance (SC) of n-turn of the helical flux compression generator (HFCG) coil with multi layer conductor wire filaments (MLCWF) in the form of rectangular cross-section. This approach is based on vespiary regular hexagonal (VRH) model. In this method, wire filaments of the generator coil are separated into many very small simi...

Wigner’s little group[1], which is a subgroup of the Poincare group that leaves the fourmomentum invariant, is of fundamental importance for both massive and massless particles. In the latter case this group is E(2), which is a semi-direct product of T (2) (the group of translations in the plane) and SO(2). Each of these subgroups has its own role, but here we are concerned with T (2) which act...
