Point groups in three dimensions the finite subgroups of SO(3), are: the cyclic groups "C" (the rotation group of a canonical pyramid), the dihedral groups "D" (the rotation group of a uniform prism, or canonical bipyramid), and the rotation groups "T", "O" and "I" of a regular tetrahedron, octahedron/cube and icosahedron/dodecahedron. In particular, the dihedral groups "D", "D" etc. are the rotation groups of plane regular polygons embedded in three-dimensional space, and such a figure may be considered as a degenerate regular prism. Therefore, it is also called a "dihedron" (Greek: solid with two faces), which explains the name "dihedral group". The rotation group of
Complex projective plane With respect to the latter normalisation, the imbedded real projective plane has Gaussian curvature 1. Complex projective plane In mathematics, the complex projective plane, usually denoted P(C), is the two-dimensional complex projective space. It is a complex manifold described by three complex coordinates where, however, the triples differing by an overall rescaling are identified: That is, these are homogeneous coordinates in the traditional sense of projective geometry. The Betti numbers of the complex projective plane are The middle dimension 2 is accounted for by the homology class of the complex projective line, or Riemann sphere, lying in the plane. The
