  Crystallographic Topology - Appendix A
There are 1651 groups in the complete bicolor space group family, 230 of which are the regular space groups with fl symmetry operators, another 230 have simultaneously fl and white (gray) symmetry operators, and the remaining 1191 nontrivial bicolor space groups have mixed fl and white operators.
Bicolor groups are called magnetic groups when used to describe simultaneously the arrangement of atoms (regular symmetry) and the up/down magnetic spin vector orientations (antisymmetry) for magnetic atoms in a crystal (Opechowski and Guccione, 1965).
Since the group generators for space groups are given explicitly in the crystallographic space group nomenclature, the bicolor space group nomenclature is given by simply placing flags, such as *, on the antisymmetry operators in the group name (see Table A.1).

 Description of a Magnetic Structure
In CCSL magnetic structures are described using a propagation vector to define the periodicity, and a magnetic space group to define the relative orientations of spins on different sub-lattices within the non-magnetic unit cell.
The magnetic space group must be congruent with the crystallographic space group or one of its sub-groups.
Each of the elements of the magnetic group acts on the magnetic moment with the rotation and translation appropriate to the corresponding element in the crystallographic group.

Let me just remark that our group theoretic program system GAP can be of help in such considerations since on one hand it offers possibilities to calculate with such factor groups and on the other hand with its last release has tables of all space groups (not only in three but also in four dimensions).
A 3-D crystallographic group is a group acting on 3-dimensional Euclidean space (ordinary space) in such a way that the quotient space is compact, or equivalently, that there is a bounded fundamental domain for the action.
These groups (as well >>crystallographic groups in any dimension, >>as all "genuine" 3-orbifold groups) are residually finite, meaning that >>they have many finite quotient groups, almost certainly enough quotients >>to establish the correct minimum number of generators.

groups in one dimension: there is only one finite group, corresponding to just one mirror; there is also only one infinite group, corresponding to two parallel mirrors.
So, the wallpaper groups which can be seen in a mirror box are seven, the four ones which are generated by reflections, and other three, which contain a subgroup generated by reflections.
Instead, in the caleidoscope associated to the symmetry group G of the tetrahedron  we may see either objects having G as symmetry group or objects having the same symmetry group H of a cube (as G is a subgroup of index 2 in H).

 Tessellation Summary
For example, the symmetry group of the standard tiling by 1x1 squares is equal to the set of all compositions of the following two maps and their inverses: the map that takes any arbitrary point (x, y) to (x + 1,y) and the map that takes (x, y) to (x, y + 1).
The crystallographic groups are the symmetry groups for which there is a fundamental domain with finite area (or volume).
Copies of an arbitrary quadrilateral can form a tessellation with 2-fold rotational centers at the midpoints of all sides, and translational symmetry with as minimal set of translation vectors a pair according to the diagonals of the quadrilateral, or equivalently, one of these and the sum or difference of the two.

 Crystallographic Topology 101 - Overview
The structural crystallography of interest involves the group theory required to describe symmetric arrangements of atoms in crystals, and a classification of the simplest arrangements as lattice complexes.
The geometric topology of interest is the topological properties of crystallographic groups, represented as orbifolds, and the Morse theory global analysis of critical points in symmetric functions.
A crystallographic orbifold, Q, may be formally defined as the quotient space of a sphere, S, or Euclidean, E, space modulo a discrete crystallographic symmetry group, G (i.e., Q=K/G where K=S or E).

 2.4 Wallpaper Groups
A group of symmetries of the plane that is doubly infinite is a crystallographic group, or wallpaper group.
The Conway notation for wallpaper groups is based on what types of non-translational symmetries occur in the ``simplest description'' of the group: * indicates a reflection (mirror symmetry), × a glide-reflection, and a number n indicates a rotational symmetry of order n (rotation by 360°/n).
The last column of the table gives the number of degrees of freedom in the choice of the group, that is, the dimension of the space of inequivalent groups of the given type (equivalent groups are those that can be obtained from one another by proportional scaling or rigid motion).

 Finite and Affine Coxeter Groups
An affine reflection group is a group generated by reflections in affine space (in other words, real reflections in a hyperplane that does not necessarily pass through the origin).
A Coxeter group is called affine if it is infinite and it has a representation as a discrete, properly acting, affine reflection group (see [Bou68] for more details on discreteness and proper action).
A Coxeter group is finite if, and only if, all its irreducible components are finite; a Coxeter group is affine if, and only if all its irreducible components are finite or affine, and at least one component is affine.

An essential crystallographic set of isometries can be endowed with a crystallographic pseudogroup structure.
Under certain well chosen conditions on the essential crystallographic set of isometries Γ we show that the elements in Γ define a crystallographic group G, and an embedding Φ from Γ to G exists which is an almost isomorphism close to the identity map.
This can be interpreted as a sort of metric rigidity of crystallographic groups: if there is an essential crystallographic set of isometries which is metrically close to an inner part of a crystallographic group, then there exists a local homomorphism-preserving embedding in this crystallographic group.

 Talk at WASGAS --- August 1995
If the realization of the Coxeter group is crystallographic, which means that it preserves a lattice, then it is the Weyl group of a Kac-Moody group, and the structure of the graph of positive roots should have something to do with the structure of the group.
To every Coxeter group is associated a Hecke algebra over a polynomial ring in one variable, with generators the same as the group and similar relations.
The significance of cells is not generally understood, but (again according to Lusztig) if the Coxeter group is affine, the two-sided cells correspond to the semi-regular unipotent class in the associated semi-simple complex group and the left cells parametrize homology classes of the subvariety of Borel subgroups containing a fixed element of that class.

When studying how unit cells are packed together it is necessary to know the crystallographic space group in order to be able to work out the position of the adjacent molecules in adjacent unit cells and build up a lattice of molecules if you so choose.
If using crystallographic information as a starting point for molecular modelling it is sensible to assess the quality of the crystal structure before use.

In "Two-Dimensional Groups, Orbifolds and Tilings" (Balke and Huson 1996) we formalize this and prove that the symmetries of the orbifold symbol (Macbeath 1967, Conway 1990) of a 2-dimensional symmetry group determine how many tilings exist for that group.
The 219 isomorphism types of space groups give rise to precisely 189 different orbifold graphs, only 14 of which correspond to more than one group, as described in "Orbifold Triangulations and Crystallographic Groups" (Delgado and Huson 1997).
