Definition:Symmetry Group of Rhombus

Group Example
Let $\RR = ABCD$ be a (non-square) rhombus.

The various symmetry mappings of $\RR$ are:
 * The identity mapping $e$
 * The rotation $r$ (in either direction) of $180^\circ$
 * The reflections $h$ and $v$ in the indicated axes.

The symmetries of $\RR$ form the dihedral group $D_2$.

Cayley Table
$D_2$ acts on the vertices of $\RR$ according to this table:


 * $\begin{array}{cccc}

e & r & h & v \\ \hline A & C & A & C \\ B & D & D & B \\ C & A & C & A \\ D & B & B & D \\ \end{array}$
