All the real combinations of cubes and octahedra (77657 in total) are enumerated and characterized by facet symbols and symmetry point groups. The most symmetrical polyhedra (with automorphism group orders not less than 6, 163 in total) are shown. It is assumed that they represent the most probable forms of natural diamond crystals. The results are discussed with respect to the Curie dissymmetry principle.

According to Klein’s Erlanger programme, one may (indirectly) specify a geometry by giving a group action. Conversely, given a group action, one may ask for the corresponding geometry. Recently, I showed that the real asymptotic symmetry groups of general relativity (in any signature) have natural ‘projective’ classical actions on suitable ‘Radon transform’ spaces of affine 3-planes in flat 4-space. In this paper, I give concrete models for these groups and actions. Also, for the ‘atomic’ cases, I give geometric structures for the spaces of affine 3-planes for which the given actions are the automorphism group.

Abstract A new mathematical criterion is suggested for symmetry ranking, i.e. determination of an “absolute symmetry scale” for discrete, finite groups. The criterion is based on both, the periods (orders) of each group element and the order of the group itself. This is different from the current criteria which consider only the orders of the groups themselves. The symmetry ranking, based on the new criterion, is applied to the symmetry point groups.

Let G be a finite group. The real genusρ(G) is the minimum algebraic genus of any compact bordered Klein surface on which G acts. We classify the large groups of real genus p + 1, that is, the groups such that |G| ≥ 3(g - 1), where the genus action of G is on a bordered surface of genus g = p + 1. The group G must belong to one of four infinite families. In addition, we determine the order of the largest automorphism group of a surface of genus g for all g such that g = p + 1, where p is a prime.
