A regular icosahedron has 60 rotational (or orientation-preserving) symmetries, and a total of 120 symmetries including transformations that combine a reflection and a rotation. A regular dodecahedron has the same set of symmetries, since it is the dual of the icosahedron. An icosahedron [ˌaıkəsəhiːdrən] noun (plural: -drons, -dra [-drə]) is a polyhedron having 20 faces, but usually a regular icosahedron is meant. ... A dodecahedron is literally a polyhedron with 12 faces, but usually a regular dodecahedron is meant: a Platonic solid composed of twelve pentagonal faces, with three meeting at each vertex. ...


The group of symmetries that includes reflections is S5, or the group of permutations of five objects, since there is exactly one such symmetry for each permutation of the five pairs of diametrically opposite vertices. The set of orientation-preserving symmetries forms a group referred to as A5.

The icosahedral rotation group I with fundamental domain

Apart from the two infinite series of prismatic and antiprismatic symmetry, rotational icosahedral symmetry or chiral icosahedral symmetry of chiral objects and full icosahedral symmetry or achiral icosahedral symmetry are the discrete point symmetries (or equivalently, symmetries on the sphere) with the largest symmetry groups. In mathematics, given a lattice Γ in a Lie group G, a fundamental domain is a set D of representatives for the cosets G/Γ, that is also a well-behaved set topologically, in a sense that can be made precise in one of several ways. ... A discrete point group in 3D is a finite symmetry group in 3D that leaves the origin fixed. ... // List of symmetry groups on the sphere Spherical symmetry groups are also called point groups (in 3D). ... The symmetry group of an object (e. ...


Icosahedral symmetry is not compatible with translational symmetry, so there are no associated crystallographic point groups or space groups. The icosahedral rotation group I is of order 60. The group I is isomorphic to A5, the alternating group on 5 objects. The group contains 5 versions of Th with 20 versions of D3 (10 axes, 2 per axis), and 6 versions of D5. A translation slides an object by a vector a: Ta(p) = p + a. ... In mineralogy and crystallography, a crystal structure is a unique arrangement of atoms in a crystal. ... The space group of a crystal is a mathematical description of the symmetry inherent in the structure. ... In mathematics, an isomorphism (in Greek isos = equal and morphe = shape) is a kind of interesting mapping between objects. ... In mathematics an alternating group is the group of even permutations of a finite set. ... 5 (five) is the natural number following 4 and preceding 6. ...


The full icosahedral group Ih has order 120. It has I as normal subgroup of index 2. The group Ih is isomorphic to I × C2, or A5 × C2, with the inverse corresponding to element (identity,1). The group contains 10 versions of D3d and 6 versions of D5d (symmetries like antiprisms). In mathematics, a normal subgroup N of a group G is a subgroup invariant under conjugation; that is, for each element n in N and each g in G, the element g−1ng is still in N. The statement N is a normal subgroup of G is written: . There are... In mathematics, if G is a group, H a subgroup of G, and g an element of G, then gH = { gh : h an element of H } is a left coset of H in G, and Hg = { hg : h an element of H } is a right coset of H in G...

In the disdyakis triacontahedron one full face is a fundamental domain; other solids with the same symmetry can be obtained by adjusting the orientation of the faces, e.g. flattening selected subsets of faces to combine each subset into one face, or replacing each face by multiple faces, or a curved surface.

Conjugacy classes

For an exact icosahedral kaleidoscope, three of the triangles of the tetrahedron should be Golden isosceles triangles.
Kent Palmer has pointed out that the binary icosahedral group is isomorphic to the binary symmetry group of the 4-simplex, which he calls the pentahedron and which David Finkelstein and Ernesto Rodriguez have called the Quantum Pentacle.
All 4 of the 4 binary icosahedral symmetry groups can be represented as the 480 faces of a Witting polytope truncated at each of its 240 vertices by its self-dual polytope in 4-complex-dimensional space.

The binary icosahedral group is the preimage of H(3,+) lying inside Spin(3).
The rank of a Coxeter group is an important invariant; it is merely the number of generating reflections of the group.
The rank-2 Coxeter groups are the set of all dihedral groups, the groups acting on regular polygons in 2-dimensional space.
