In geometry, orbifold notation (or orbifold signature) is a system, invented by the mathematician William Thurston and promoted by John Conway, for representing types of symmetry groups in two-dimensional spaces of constant curvature. The advantage of the notation is that it describes these groups in a way which indicates many of the groups' properties: in particular, it follows William Thurston in describing the orbifold obtained by taking the quotient of Euclidean space by the group under consideration.

Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • En geometría, la notación orbifold (o signatura orbifold) es un sistema, inventado por el matemático William Thurston y promovido por John Conway, ideado para representar tipos de grupos de simetría en espacios bidimensionales de curvatura constante. La ventaja de la notación es que describe estos grupos de una manera que indica muchas de sus propiedades. En particular, sigue el criterio de William Thurston al describir el orbifold obtenido al tomar el cociente del espacio euclídeo por el grupo en consideración. Los grupos representables en esta notación incluyen los grupos de puntos en la esfera, los frisos y el grupo del papel pintado en el espacio bidimensional y sus análogos en el plano hiperbólico. (es)

Groups representable in this notation include the point groups on the sphere, the frieze groups and wallpaper groups of the Euclidean plane, and their analogues on the hyperbolic plane. (en)
