A wallpaper group (or plane symmetry group or plane crystallographic group) is a mathematical classification of a two-dimensional repetitive pattern, based on the symmetries in the pattern.
Wallpaper groups are two-dimensional symmetry groups, intermediate in complexity between the simpler frieze groups and the three-dimensional crystallographic groups (also called space groups).
The wallpaper group of a pattern is invariant under isometries and uniform scaling (similarity transformations).

  Wallpaper group - Wallpapergroup
Wallpaper groups are related to the simpler frieze groups, and to the more complex three-dimensional crystallographic groups (also called space groups).
This wallpaper group corresponds to the case that all triangles of the same orientation are equal, while both types have rotational symmetry of order three, and both are symmetric, but the two are not equal, and not each other's mirror image.
This wallpaper group corresponds to the case that all triangles of the same orientation are equal, while both types have rotational symmetry of order three and are each other's mirror image, but not symmetric themselves, and not equal.

 The Seventeen Wallpaper Groups
A wallpaper group is a discontinuous subgroup of the isometries of the Euclidian plane.
Wallpaper groups are distiguished from another type of transformation pattern of the plane called "tilings" by the fact that only a single pattern does the tiling of the plane in each group.
The fundamental region of this group is also the translation region, hence the unit lengths of the translation vectors correspond to the lengths of two intersecting edges of the fundamental region.

 wallpaper group
Also known as a crystallographic group, a distinct way to tile the plane that repeats indefinitely in two dimensions; that is, a collection of two-dimensional symmetric patterns on a plane surface, containing two nonparallel translations (see periodic tiling).
There are only 17 kinds of these patterns, known as isometries, each uniquely identified by its translation and rotation symmetries, as discovered in the late nineteenth century by E. Fedorov and, independently, by the German A. Schoenflies and the Englishman William Barlow.
Every two-dimensional repetitive pattern in wallpaper, textiles, brickwork, or the arrangement of atoms in a plane of a crystal is just a minor variations on one of these 17 patterns.

 Symmetry in Oriental Carpets
Although it is possible to understand the wallpaper groups, or symmetry groups, without the knowledge of graphical transformations, it is very interesting to follow the graphical implications of patterns in oriental carpets and to see the relationship between graphical transformation and rug patterns.
The IUC notation for the wallpaper group was established in 1952 by the International Union of Crystallography.
The eleventh symmetry group (IUC notation is p3m1) consists of a reflection and rotation of 120°.

 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).

 3.3 The Wallpaper Groups
In the presented analysis we distinguished 17 different cases for the wallpaper groups: 2 for the oblique, 6 for rectangular, 7 for centered, 11 for square, and 11 for hexagonal lattice.
The remaining groups pm and cm are not mutually isomorphic, because every glide reflection from pm can be decomposed as the product of translations and reflections from pm (Theorem 3.2, Corollary 3.2), which is not true for cm.
Finally, the group pmm is not isomorphic with pmg or cmm, because every glide reflection from pmm can be decomposed as the product of translations and reflections belonging to that group (Theorem 3.2, Corollary 2), which not holds for pmg or cmm.

Wallpaper*’s affluent audience of 25- to 40-year-old men and women in 50 different countries makes the magazine an advertiser’s dream.
Recovering in London from gunshot wounds suffered while on assignment in Afghanistan, Brûlé hatched the idea for Wallpaper* as he leafed through magazines that he thought were "rubbish." After just four issues, Time Inc. purchased the magazine for $1.63 million in June 1997; Brûlé retained a 15 percent interest and his role as editorial director.
