The semigroup of partial symmetries of a polygon P is the collection of all distance-preserving bijections between subpolygons of P, with composition as the operation. Around every idempotent of the semigroup there is a maximal subgroup that is the group of symmetries of a subpolygon of P. In this paper we construct all of the maximal subgroups that can occur for any regular polygon P, and determine for which P there exist nontrivial cyclic maximal subgroups, and for which there are only dihedral maximal subgroups.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
