Coxeter notation

In geometry, Coxeter notation is a system of classifying symmetry groups, describing the angles between fundamental reflections of a Coxeter group in a bracketed notation expressing the structure of a Coxeter-Dynkin diagram, with modifiers to indicate certain subgroups. The notation is named after H. S. M. Coxeter, and has been more comprehensively defined by Norman Johnson.

Reflectional groups

For Coxeter groups, defined by pure reflections, there is a direct correspondence between the bracket notation and Coxeter-Dynkin diagram. The numbers in the bracket notation represent the mirror reflection orders in the branches of the Coxeter diagram. It uses the same simplification, suppressing 2s between orthogonal mirrors.
The Coxeter notation is simplified with exponents to represent the number of branches in a row for linear diagram. So the A_n group is represented by , to imply n nodes connected by n-1 order-3 branches. Example A₂ = = or represents diagrams or.
Coxeter initially represented bifurcating diagrams with vertical positioning of numbers, but later abbreviated with an exponent notation, like or , starting with or = or as D₄. Coxeter allowed for zeros as special cases to fit the A_n family, like A₃ = = = = = , like = =.
Coxeter groups formed by cyclic diagrams are represented by parentheseses inside of brackets, like = for the triangle group. If the branch orders are equal, they can be grouped as an exponent as the length the cycle in brackets, like = ], representing Coxeter diagram or. can be represented as or ].
More complicated looping diagrams can also be expressed with care. The paracompact Coxeter group can be represented by Coxeter notation , with nested/overlapping parentheses showing two adjacent loops, and is also represented more compactly as ×], representing the rhombic symmetry of the Coxeter diagram. The paracompact complete graph diagram or , is represented as ] with the superscript as the symmetry of its regular tetrahedron coxeter diagram.
The Coxeter diagram usually leaves order-2 branches undrawn, but the bracket notation includes an explicit 2 to connect the subgraphs. So the Coxeter diagram = A₂×A₂ = 2A₂ can be represented by × = ² = . Sometimes explicit 2-branches may be included either with a 2 label, or with a line with a gap: or, as an identical presentation as .

For the affine and hyperbolic groups, the subscript is one less than the number of nodes in each case, since each of these groups was obtained by adding a node to a finite group's diagram.

Subgroups

Coxeter's notation represents rotational/translational symmetry by adding a ⁺ superscript operator outside the brackets, ⁺ which cuts the order of the group in half, thus an index 2 subgroup. This operator implies an even number of operators must be applied, replacing reflections with rotations. When applied to a Coxeter group, this is called a direct subgroup because what remains are only direct isometries without reflective symmetry.
The ⁺ operators can also be applied inside of the brackets, like or , and creates "semidirect" subgroups that may include both reflective and nonreflective generators. Semidirect subgroups can only apply to Coxeter group subgroups that have even order branches adjacent to it. Elements by parentheses inside of a Coxeter group can be give a ⁺ superscript operator, having the effect of dividing adjacent ordered branches into half order, thus is usually only applied with even numbers. For example, and .
If applied with adjacent odd branch, it doesn't create a subgroup of index 2, but instead creates overlapping fundamental domains, like = , which can define doubly wrapped polygons like a pentagram,, and relates to Schwarz triangle , density 2.
Groups without neighboring ⁺ elements can be seen in ringed nodes Coxeter-Dynkin diagram for uniform polytopes and honeycomb are related to hole nodes around the ⁺ elements, empty circles with the alternated nodes removed. So the snub cube, has symmetry ⁺, and the snub tetrahedron, has symmetry , and a demicube, h = has symmetry = .
Note: Pyritohedral symmetry can be written as, separating the graph with gaps for clarity, with the generators from the Coxeter group, producing pyritohedral generators, a reflection and 3-fold rotation. And chiral tetrahedral symmetry can be written as or , = ⁺, with generators.

Halving subgroups and extended groups

Johnson extends the ⁺ operator to work with a placeholder 1⁺ nodes, which removes mirrors, doubling the size of the fundamental domain and cuts the group order in half. In general this operation only applies to individual mirrors bounded by even-order branches. The 1 represents a mirror so can be seen as , , or , like diagram or, with 2 mirrors related by an order-2p dihedral angle. The effect of a mirror removal is to duplicate connecting nodes, which can be seen in the Coxeter diagrams: =, or in bracket notation: = = .
Each of these mirrors can be removed so h = = = , a reflective subgroup index 2. This can be shown in a Coxeter diagram by adding a ⁺ symbol above the node: = =.
If both mirrors are removed, a quarter subgroup is generated, with the branch order becoming a gyration point of half the order:
For example, : = = = ×, order 4. = ⁺, order 2.
The opposite to halving is doubling which adds a mirror, bisecting a fundamental domain, and doubling the group order.
Halving operations apply for higher rank groups, like tetrahedral symmetry is a half group of octahedral group: h = = , removing half the mirrors at the 4-branch. The effect of a mirror removal is to duplicate all connecting nodes, which can be seen in the Coxeter diagrams: =, h = = .
If nodes are indexed, half subgroups can be labeled with new mirrors as composites. Like, generators has subgroup =, generators, where mirror 0 is removed, and replaced by a copy of mirror 1 reflected across mirror 0. Also given, generators, it has half group =, generators.
Doubling by adding a mirror also applies in reversing the halving operation: = , or more generally = .

Tetrahedral symmetry	Octahedral symmetry
T_d, = = =	O_h, =

Radical subgroups

Johnson also added an asterisk or star * operator for "radical" subgroups, that acts similar to the ⁺ operator, but removes rotational symmetry. The index of the radical subgroup is the order of the removed element. For example, ≅ . The removed subgroup is order 6 so is an index 6 subgroup of .
The radical subgroups represent the inverse operation to an [|extended symmetry] operation. For example, ≅ , and in reverse can be extended as . The subgroups can be expressed as a Coxeter diagram: or ≅. The removed node causes adjacent mirror virtual mirrors to become real mirrors.
If has generators, , index 2, has generators ; ≅ , index 2 has generators ; while radical subgroup ≅ , index 6, has generators ; and finally , index 12 has generators.

Trionic subgroups

A [|trionic subgroup] is an index 3 subgroups. There are many
Johnson defines a trionic subgroup with operator ⅄, index 3. For rank 2 Coxeter groups, , the trionic subgroup, is , a single mirror. And for , the trionic subgroup is ^⅄ ≅ . Given, with generators, has 3 trionic subgroups. They can be differentiated by putting the ⅄ symbol next to the mirror generator to be removed, or on a branch for both: = =, =, and = = with generators,, or.
Trionic subgroups of tetrahedral symmetry: ^⅄ ≅ , relating the symmetry of the regular tetrahedron and tetragonal disphenoid.
For rank 3 Coxeter groups, , there is a trionic subgroup ≅ , or =. For example, the finite group ≅ , and Euclidean group ≅ , and hyperbolic group ≅ .
An odd-order adjacent branch, p, will not lower the group order, but create overlapping fundamental domains. The group order stays the same, while the density increases. For example, the icosahedral symmetry, , of the regular polyhedra icosahedron becomes , the symmetry of 2 regular star polyhedra. It also relates the hyperbolic tilings, and star hyperbolic tilings
For rank 4, = , =.
For example, = , or =, generators in with the trionic subgroup generators. For hyperbolic groups, = ], and = .

Trionic subgroups of tetrahedral symmetry

Johnson identified two specific trionic subgroups of , first an index 3 subgroup ^⅄ ≅ , with generators. It can also be written as as a reminder of its generators. This symmetry reduction is the relationship between the regular tetrahedron and the tetragonal disphenoid, represent a stretching of a tetrahedron perpendicular to two opposite edges.
Secondly he identifies a related index 6 subgroup ^Δ or ⁺, index 3 from ⁺ ≅ ⁺, with generators, from and its generators.
These subgroups also apply within larger Coxeter groups with subgroup with neighboring branches all even order.
]
For example, , , and are subgroups of , index 2, 3 and 6 respectively. The generators of ≅ ≅ , order 128, are from generators. And ≅, order 64, has generators. As well, ≅ .
Also related = has trionic subgroups: ^⅄ = , order 64, and 1=^Δ = ≅ 4,2⁺,4⁺, order 32.

Central inversion

A central inversion, order 2, is operationally differently by dimension. The group ⁿ = represents n orthogonal mirrors in n-dimensional space, or an n-flat subspace of a higher dimensional space. The mirrors of the group are numbered. The order of the mirrors doesn't matter in the case of an inversion. The matrix of a central inversion is, the Identity matrix with negative one on the diagonal.
From that basis, the central inversion has a generator as the product of all the orthogonal mirrors. In Coxeter notation this inversion group is expressed by adding an alternation ⁺ to each 2 branch. The alternation symmetry is marked on Coxeter diagram nodes as open nodes.
A Coxeter-Dynkin diagram can be marked up with explicit 2 branches defining a linear sequence of mirrors, open-nodes, and shared double-open nodes to show the chaining of the reflection generators.
For example, and are subgroups index 2 of ,, and are represented as and with generators and respectively. Their common subgroup index 4 is , and is represented by , with the double-open marking a shared node in the two alternations, and a single rotoreflection generator.

Dimension	Coxeter notation	Order	Coxeter diagram	Operation	Generator
2	⁺	2		180° rotation, C₂
3		2		rotoreflection, C_i or S₂
4		2		double rotation
5		2		double rotary reflection
6		2		triple rotation
7		2		triple rotary reflection

Rotations and rotary reflections

Rotations and rotary reflections are constructed by a single single-generator product of all the reflections of a prismatic group, ××... where gcd=1, they are isomorphic to the abstract cyclic group Z_n, of order n=2pq.
The 4-dimensional double rotations, , which include a central group, and are expressed by Conway as ±, order 2pq. From Coxeter diagram, generators, the single generator of , is. The half group, ⁺, or cyclc graph, , expressed by Conway is , order pq, with generator.
If there is a common factor f, the double rotation can be written as , generator, order 2pqf. For example, p=q=1, f=2, is order 4. And ⁺, generator, is order pqf. For example, ⁺ is order 2, a central inversion.

Commutator subgroups

Simple groups with only odd-order branch elements have only a single rotational/translational subgroup of order 2, which is also the commutator subgroup, examples ⁺, ⁺, ⁺, ⁺. For other Coxeter groups with even-order branches, the commutator subgroup has index 2^c, where c is the number of disconnected subgraphs when all the even-order branches are removed. For example, has three independent nodes in the Coxeter diagram when the 4s are removed, so its commutator subgroup is index 2³, and can have different representations, all with three ⁺ operators: ⁺, , ⁺, or . A general notation can be used with +c as a group exponent, like ⁺³.

Example subgroups

Rank 2 example subgroups

groups with even-orders have a number of subgroups. This example shows two generator mirrors of in red and green, and looks at all subgroups by halfing, rank-reduction, and their direct subgroups. The group , has two mirror generators 0, and 1. Each generate two virtual mirrors 101 and 010 by reflection across the other.

Rank 3 Euclidean example subgroups

The group has 15 small index subgroups. This table shows them all, with a yellow fundamental domain for pure reflective groups, and alternating white and blue domains which are paired up to make rotational domains. Cyan, red, and green mirror lines correspond to the same colored nodes in the Coxeter diagram. Subgroup generators can be expressed as products of the original 3 mirrors of the fundamental domain,, corresponding to the 3 nodes of the Coxeter diagram,. A product of two intersecting reflection lines makes a rotation, like,, or. Removing a mirror causes two copies of neighboring mirrors, across the removed mirror, like, and. Two rotations in series cut the rotation order in half, like or, or. A product of all three mirrors creates a transreflection, like or.

Hyperbolic example subgroups

The same set of 15 small subgroups exists on all triangle groups with even order elements, like in the hyperbolic plane:

Extended symmetry

Coxeter's notation includes double square bracket notation, to express automorphic symmetry within a Coxeter diagram. Johnson added alternative of angled-bracket <> or option as equivalent to square brackets for doubling to distinguish diagram symmetry through the nodes versus through the branches. Johnson also added a prefix symmetry modifier , or symmetry of the fundamental domain of .
For example, in 3D these equivalent rectangle and rhombic geometry diagrams of : and, the first doubled with square brackets, or twice doubled as , with , order 4 higher symmetry. To differentiate the second, angled brackets are used for doubling, ] and twice doubled as 2], also with a different , order 4 symmetry. Finally a full symmetry where all 4 nodes are equivalent can be represented by , with the order 8, symmetry of the square. But by considering the tetragonal disphenoid fundamental domain the extended symmetry of the square graph can be marked more explicitly as 3 or .
Further symmetry exists in the cyclic and branching,, and diagrams. has order 2n symmetry of a regular n-gon,, and is represented by . and are represented by and , with the diagram containing the order 24 symmetry of the regular tetrahedron,. The paracompact hyperbolic group = ,, contains the symmetry of a 5-cell,, and thus is represented by 3^1,1,1,1,1 = .
An asterisk * superscript is effectively an inverse operation, creating radical subgroups removing connected of odd-ordered mirrors.
Examples:
Looking at generators, the double symmetry is seen as adding a new operator that maps symmetric positions in the Coxeter diagram, making some original generators redundant. For 3D space groups, and 4D point groups, Coxeter defines an index two subgroup of,, which he defines as the product of the original generators of by the doubling generator. This looks similar to ⁺, which is the chiral subgroup of. So for example the 3D space groups ⁺ and are distinct subgroups of .

Computation with reflection matrices as symmetry generators

A Coxeter group, represented by Coxeter diagram, is given Coxeter notation for the branch orders. Each node in the Coxeter diagram represents a mirror, by convention called ρ_i. The generators of this group are reflections: ρ₀, ρ₁, and ρ₂. Rotational subsymmetry is given as products of reflections: By convention, σ_0,1 = ρ₀ρ₁ represents a rotation of angle π/p, and σ_1,2 = ρ₁ρ₂ is a rotation of angle π/q, and σ_0,2 = ρ₀ρ₂ represents a rotation of angle π/2.
⁺,, is an index 2 subgroup represented by two rotation generators, each a products of two reflections: σ_0,1, σ_1,2, and representing rotations of π/p, and π/q angles respectively.
With one even branch, , or, is another subgroup of index 2, represented by rotation generator σ_0,1, and reflectional ρ₂.
With even branches, ,, is a subgroup of index 4 with two generators, constructed as a product of all three reflection matrices: By convention as: ψ_0,1,2 and ψ_1,2,0, which are rotary reflections, representing a reflection and rotation or reflection.
In the case of affine Coxeter groups like, or, one mirror, usually the last, is translated off the origin. A translation generator τ_0,1 is constructed as the product of two reflections, including the affine reflection. A transreflection can be the product of an odd number of reflections φ_0,1,2, like the index 4 subgroup : =.
Another composite generator, by convention as ζ, represents the inversion, mapping a point to its inverse. For and , ζ = ^h/2, where h is 6 and 10 respectively, the Coxeter number for each family. For 3D Coxeter group , this subgroup is a rotary reflection .
Coxeter groups are categorized by their rank, being the number of nodes in its Coxeter-Dynkin diagram. The structure of the groups are also given with their abstract group types: In this article, the abstract dihedral groups are represented as Dih_n, and cyclic groups are represented by Z_n, with Dih₁=Z₂.
