Let C denote the cube $latex [-1, 1]^3 \subset \mathbb{R} $  . How many rotations are there in $latex \mathbb{R}^3 $ which take C to itself?

A. 6; B. 12 C. 18. D. 24

Discussion:

Theorem: A finite subgroup of $latex SO_3 $ is one of the following groups:

  • $latex C_k $ : the cyclic group of rotations by multiples of $latex \frac {2 \pi } {k} $ about a line, with k arbitrary
  • $latex D_k $: the Dihedral group of symmetries of a regular k-gon, with k arbitrary
  • $latex T $ the tetrahedral group of 12 rotational symmetries of a tetrahedron;
  • $latex O $: the octahedral group of 24 rotational symmetries of a cube or an octahedron
  • $latex I $: the icosahedral group of 60 rotational symmetries of a dodecahedron or an icosahedron
