These groups naturally arise in the study of the quotient of a Euclidean space by a finite orthogonal group and hence in the theory of orbifolds.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-09-23T11:05:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20E34", "20F55" ], "keywords": [ "finite groups", "reflections", "finite-dimensional euclidean space", "finite orthogonal group", "orthogonal transformations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 38, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150906922L" } } }
