76-664: A Privatdozent at Königsberg in 1910 and as Professor ordinarius at the University of Basel in 1913. He taught at the University of Frankfurt in 1915 and the University of Berlin from 1921–45. Bieberbach wrote a habilitation thesis in 1911 about groups of Euclidean motions – identifying conditions under which the group must have a translational subgroup whose vectors span the Euclidean space – that helped solve Hilbert's 18th problem . He worked on complex analysis and its applications to other areas in mathematics. He

114-620: A space group is the symmetry group of a repeating pattern in space, usually in three dimensions . The elements of a space group (its symmetry operations ) are the rigid transformations of the pattern that leave it unchanged. In three dimensions, space groups are classified into 219 distinct types, or 230 types if chiral copies are considered distinct. Space groups are discrete cocompact groups of isometries of an oriented Euclidean space in any number of dimensions. In dimensions other than 3, they are sometimes called Bieberbach groups . In crystallography , space groups are also called

190-488: A subgroup Z . This table gives the number of space group types in small dimensions, including the numbers of various classes of space group. The numbers of enantiomorphic pairs are given in parentheses. In addition to crystallographic space groups there are also magnetic space groups (also called two-color (black and white) crystallographic groups or Shubnikov groups). These symmetries contain an element known as time reversal. They treat time as an additional dimension, and

228-404: A translation along the direction of the axis. These are noted by a number, n , to describe the degree of rotation, where the number is how many operations must be applied to complete a full rotation (e.g., 3 would mean a rotation one third of the way around the axis each time). The degree of translation is then added as a subscript showing how far along the axis the translation is, as a portion of

266-480: Is a free abelian subgroup of finite index, and is also the unique maximal normal abelian subgroup. He also showed that in any dimension n there are only a finite number of possibilities for the isomorphism class of the underlying group of a space group, and moreover the action of the group on Euclidean space is unique up to conjugation by affine transformations. This answers part of Hilbert's eighteenth problem . Zassenhaus (1948) showed that conversely any group that

304-439: Is also sometimes used as an alternative name for the whole trigonal system.) The hexagonal lattice system is larger than the hexagonal crystal system, and consists of the hexagonal crystal system together with the 18 groups of the trigonal crystal system other than the seven whose names begin with R. The Bravais lattice of the space group is determined by the lattice system together with the initial letter of its name, which for

342-399: Is also the n {\displaystyle n} glide, which is a glide along the half of a diagonal of a face, and the d {\displaystyle d} glide, which is a fourth of the way along either a face or space diagonal of the unit cell. The latter is called the diamond glide plane as it features in the diamond structure. In 17 space groups, due to the centering of

418-481: Is known for his work on dynamics in several complex variables, where he obtained results similar to Fatou 's. In 1916 he formulated the Bieberbach conjecture , stating a necessary condition for a holomorphic function to map the open unit disc injectively into the complex plane in terms of the function's Taylor series . In 1984 Louis de Branges proved the conjecture (for this reason, the Bieberbach conjecture

456-470: Is rather easy to picture in the two-dimensional, wallpaper group case. Some of the point groups have reflections, and the reflection lines can be along the lattice directions, halfway in between them, or both. These correspond to conjugacy classes of lattice point groups in GL n ( Z ), where the lattice point group is the group of symmetries of the underlying lattice that fix a point of the lattice, and contains

494-548: Is sometimes called de Branges' theorem ). There is also a Bieberbach theorem  [ ru ] on space groups . In 1928 Bieberbach wrote a book with Issai Schur titled Über die Minkowskische Reduktiontheorie der positiven quadratischen Formen . Bieberbach was a speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians held at Zurich in 1932. Bieberbach joined the Sturmabteilung in 1933 and

532-465: Is the extension of Z by a finite group acting faithfully is an affine space group. Combining these results shows that classifying space groups in n dimensions up to conjugation by affine transformations is essentially the same as classifying isomorphism classes for groups that are extensions of Z by a finite group acting faithfully. It is essential in Bieberbach's theorems to assume that

570-523: The NSDAP in 1937. He was enthusiastically involved in the efforts to dismiss his Jewish colleagues, including Edmund Landau and his former coauthor Issai Schur , from their posts. He also facilitated the Gestapo arrests of some close colleagues, such as Juliusz Schauder . Bieberbach was heavily influenced by Theodore Vahlen , another German mathematician and anti-Semite, who along with Bieberbach founded

608-480: The crystallographic or Fedorov groups , and represent a description of the symmetry of the crystal. A definitive source regarding 3-dimensional space groups is the International Tables for Crystallography Hahn (2002) . Space groups in 2 dimensions are the 17 wallpaper groups which have been known for several centuries, though the proof that the list was complete was only given in 1891, after

646-621: The " Deutsche Mathematik " ("German mathematics") movement and journal of the same name. The purpose of the movement was to encourage and promote a "German" (in this case meaning intuitionistic ) style in mathematics. For example, Bieberbach claimed that "the Cauchy–Goursat theorem arouses intolerable displeasure" in Germans, and was representative of an abstract style of reasoning and "pronounced shrewdness" characteristic of "Jewish mathematics". Bieberbach's and Vahlen's idea of German mathematics

684-436: The 32 crystallographic point groups with the 14 Bravais lattices , each of the latter belonging to one of 7 lattice systems . What this means is that the action of any element of a given space group can be expressed as the action of an element of the appropriate point group followed optionally by a translation. A space group is thus some combination of the translational symmetry of a unit cell (including lattice centering ),

722-537: The axial 3D point groups are magnetic 2D point groups. Number of original and magnetic groups by (overall, lattice) dimension:( Palistrant 2012 )( Souvignier 2006 ) Table of the wallpaper groups using the classification of the 2-dimensional space groups: For each geometric class, the possible arithmetic classes are Note: An e plane is a double glide plane, one having glides in two different directions. They are found in seven orthorhombic, five tetragonal and five cubic space groups, all with centered lattice. The use of

760-630: The cell times the order of the point group. This ranges from 1 in the case of space group P1 to 192 for a space group like Fm 3 m, the NaCl structure . The elements of the space group fixing a point of space are the identity element, reflections, rotations and improper rotations , including inversion points . The translations form a normal abelian subgroup of rank 3, called the Bravais lattice (so named after French physicist Auguste Bravais ). There are 14 possible types of Bravais lattice. The quotient of

798-409: The cell, the glides occur in two perpendicular directions simultaneously, i.e. the same glide plane can be called b or c , a or b , a or c . For example, group Abm2 could be also called Acm2, group Ccca could be called Cccb. In 1992, it was suggested to use symbol e for such planes. The symbols for five space groups have been modified: A screw axis is a rotation about an axis, followed by

836-497: The converses are not true. An inversion and a mirror implies two-fold screw axes, and so on. There are at least ten methods of naming space groups. Some of these methods can assign several different names to the same space group, so altogether there are many thousands of different names. The viewing directions of the 7 crystal systems are shown as follows. There are (at least) 10 different ways to classify space groups into classes. The relations between some of these are described in

874-401: The following table. Each classification system is a refinement of the ones below it. To understand an explanation given here it may be necessary to understand the next one down. Arithmetic crystal classes may be interpreted as different orientations of the point groups in the lattice, with the group elements' matrix components being constrained to have integer coefficients in lattice space. This

912-475: The group acts as isometries; the theorems do not generalize to discrete cocompact groups of affine transformations of Euclidean space. A counter-example is given by the 3-dimensional Heisenberg group of the integers acting by translations on the Heisenberg group of the reals, identified with 3-dimensional Euclidean space. This is a discrete cocompact group of affine transformations of space, but does not contain

950-743: The group elements can include time reversal as reflection in it. They are of importance in magnetic structures that contain ordered unpaired spins, i.e. ferro- , ferri- or antiferromagnetic structures as studied by neutron diffraction . The time reversal element flips a magnetic spin while leaving all other structure the same and it can be combined with a number of other symmetry elements. Including time reversal there are 1651 magnetic space groups in 3D ( Kim 1999 , p.428). It has also been possible to construct magnetic versions for other overall and lattice dimensions ( Daniel Litvin's papers , ( Litvin 2008 ), ( Litvin 2005 )). Frieze groups are magnetic 1D line groups and layer groups are magnetic wallpaper groups, and

988-420: The groups with a different method, but omitted four groups (Fdd2, I 4 2d, P 4 2 1 d, and P 4 2 1 c) even though he already had the correct list of 230 groups from Fedorov and Schönflies; the common claim that Barlow was unaware of their work is incorrect. Burckhardt (1967) describes the history of the discovery of the space groups in detail. The space groups in three dimensions are made from combinations of

1026-434: The identity. The matrices M form a point group that is a basis of the space group; the lattice must be symmetric under that point group, but the crystal structure itself may not be symmetric under that point group as applied to any particular point (that is, without a translation). For example, the diamond cubic structure does not have any point where the cubic point group applies. The lattice dimension can be less than

1064-543: The much more difficult classification of space groups had largely been completed. In 1879 the German mathematician Leonhard Sohncke listed the 65 space groups (called Sohncke groups) whose elements preserve the chirality . More accurately, he listed 66 groups, but both the Russian mathematician and crystallographer Evgraf Fedorov and the German mathematician Arthur Moritz Schoenflies noticed that two of them were really

1102-477: The overall dimension, resulting in a "subperiodic" space group. For (overall dimension, lattice dimension): The 65 "Sohncke" space groups, not containing any mirrors, inversion points, improper rotations or glide planes, yield chiral crystals, not identical to their mirror image; whereas space groups that do include at least one of those give achiral crystals. Achiral molecules sometimes form chiral crystals, but chiral molecules always form chiral crystals, in one of

1140-409: The parallel lattice vector. So, 2 1 is a twofold rotation followed by a translation of 1/2 of the lattice vector. The general formula for the action of an element of a space group is where M is its matrix, D is its vector, and where the element transforms point x into point y . In general, D = D ( lattice ) + D ( M ), where D ( M ) is a unique function of M that is zero for M being

1178-425: The point group symmetry operations of reflection , rotation and improper rotation (also called rotoinversion), and the screw axis and glide plane symmetry operations. The combination of all these symmetry operations results in a total of 230 different space groups describing all possible crystal symmetries. The number of replicates of the asymmetric unit in a unit cell is thus the number of lattice points in

1216-418: The point group. Conway , Delgado Friedrichs, and Huson et al. ( 2001 ) gave another classification of the space groups, called a fibrifold notation , according to the fibrifold structures on the corresponding orbifold . They divided the 219 affine space groups into reducible and irreducible groups. The reducible groups fall into 17 classes corresponding to the 17 wallpaper groups , and

1254-419: The remaining 35 irreducible groups are the same as the cubic groups and are classified separately. In n dimensions, an affine space group, or Bieberbach group, is a discrete subgroup of isometries of n -dimensional Euclidean space with a compact fundamental domain. Bieberbach ( 1911 , 1912 ) proved that the subgroup of translations of any such group contains n linearly independent translations, and

1292-495: The same. The space groups in three dimensions were first enumerated in 1891 by Fedorov (whose list had two omissions (I 4 3d and Fdd2) and one duplication (Fmm2)), and shortly afterwards in 1891 were independently enumerated by Schönflies (whose list had four omissions (I 4 3d, Pc, Cc, ?) and one duplication (P 4 2 1 m)). The correct list of 230 space groups was found by 1892 during correspondence between Fedorov and Schönflies. William Barlow  ( 1894 ) later enumerated

1330-414: The space group by the Bravais lattice is a finite group which is one of the 32 possible point groups . A glide plane is a reflection in a plane, followed by a translation parallel with that plane. This is noted by a {\displaystyle a} , b {\displaystyle b} , or c {\displaystyle c} , depending on which axis the glide is along. There

1368-415: The space groups that permit this. Among the 65 Sohncke groups are 22 that come in 11 enantiomorphic pairs. Only certain combinations of symmetry elements are possible in a space group. Translations are always present, and the space group P1 has only translations and the identity element. The presence of mirrors implies glide planes as well, and the presence of rotation axes implies screw axes as well, but

1406-448: The symbol e became official with Hahn (2002) . The lattice system can be found as follows. If the crystal system is not trigonal then the lattice system is of the same type. If the crystal system is trigonal, then the lattice system is hexagonal unless the space group is one of the seven in the rhombohedral lattice system consisting of the 7 trigonal space groups in the table above whose name begins with R. (The term rhombohedral system

1444-633: Was part of a wider trend in the scientific community in Nazi Germany towards giving the sciences racial character; there were also pseudoscientific movements for " Deutsche Physik ", " German chemistry ", and " German biology ". In 1945, Bieberbach was dismissed from all his academic positions because of his support of Nazism, but in 1949 was invited to lecture at the University of Basel by Ostrowski , who considered Bieberbach's political views irrelevant to his contributions to mathematics.
