Program Name

Usage

Name file [-T] [-Z] [-o] [-M]
file: bravais_TYP containing the space group R or the finite unimodular group G.

Description

The program is used to give crystallographic groups a name, i.e. compute a string which is depends only on the crystallographic class of the group R/G, and determines it uniquely.
If called with -Z, the program assumes file to contain a finite unimodular group G, and will output a name for the arithmetic class of G. Otherwise, it will assume file to contain generators for the space group R, and will output a name for the affine class of R.

Options

-h    : gives this help.
-T    : output a matrix transforming the given group R/G into CARAT's
        representative.
-o    : output CARAT's representative for this affine/arithmetic class.
-Z    : assume file to contain a finite unimodular group, more details
        see above.
-M    : give short Hermann-Mauguin symbols to describe a group
        isomorphic to the given only (has an effect only if the
        degree of R is three

Examples

  1. Do given matrices generate a space group? If so, find its name and normal representation.
