Unreferenced date December 2009 In Euclidean geometry , oblique reflections generalize ordinary reflection mathematics reflections by not requiring that reflection be done using perpendicular s. If two points are oblique reflections of each other, they will still stay so under affine transformation s. Consider a plane geometry plane P in the three dimensional Euclidean space . The usual reflection of a point A in space in respect to the plane P is another point B in space, such that the midpoint of the segment AB is in the plane, and AB is perpendicular to the plane. For an oblique reflection , one requires instead of perpendicularity that AB be parallel to a given reference line. Formally, let there be a plane P in the three dimensional space, and a line L in space not parallel to P . To obtain the oblique reflection of a point A in space in respect to the plane P , one draws through A a line parallel to L , and lets the oblique reflection of A be the point B on that line on the other side of the plane such that the midpoint of AB is in P . If the reference line L is perpendicular to the plane, one obtains the usual reflection. For example, consider the plane P to be the xy plane, that is, the plane given by the equation z 0 in Cartesian coordinates . Let the direction of the reference ... reflection of a point x , y , z will then be math left x frac 2za c , y frac 2zb c , z right . math The concept of oblique reflection is easily generalizable to oblique reflection in respect to an affine ... reflection in respect to a k dimensional affine subspace, with a n &minus k dimensional affine subspace serving as a reference.

Depending on context, we may consider a reflection a special case, where the translation vector is the zero vector. The combination of a reflection in a line and a translation in a perpendicular direction is a reflection in a parallel line. However, a glide reflection cannot be reduced like that. Thus the effect of a reflection combined with any translation is a glide reflection, with as special case just a reflection. These are the two kinds of indirect Euclidean group ... consisting of the reflection on the x axis, followed by translation of one unit parallel to it. In coordinates ... group generated by just a glide reflection is an infinite cyclic group .

File reflection.nebula.arp.750pix.jpg thumb 200px The Witch Head Nebula Witch Head reflection nebula IC2118 , about 1000 light years from earth, is associated with the bright star Rigel in the constellation Orion. The nebula glows primarily by light reflected from Rigel, located just outside the top right corner of the image. Fine dust in the nebula reflects the light. The blue color is caused not only by Rigel s blue color but because the dust grains reflect blue light more efficiently than red. In Astronomy , reflection nebulae are interstellar cloud clouds of dust which are simply reflecting the light of a nearby star or stars. The energy from the nearby star, or stars, is insufficient to ionize the gas of the nebula to create an emission nebula , but is enough to give sufficient scattering to make the dust visible.

Let E be a finite dimensional Euclidean space . finite reflection group is a subgroup of the general linear group of E which is generated by a set of orthogonal reflection mathematics reflection s across hyperplanes passing through the origin. An affine reflection group is a discrete subgroup of the affine group of E that is generated by a set of affine reflections of E without the requirement that the reflection ... other field mathematics fields , leading to complex reflection group s and analogues of reflection groups over a finite field . Examples Plane In two dimensions, the finite reflection groups are the dihedral group s, which are generated by reflection in two lines that form an angle of math 2 pi n ... subgroups of index 2 of a dihedral group. Infinite reflection groups include the frieze group s math ... is infinite and non discrete, hence, it is not a reflection group. Space Finite reflection groups ... and icosahedron give rise to isomorphic symmetry groups. The classification of finite reflection groups of R sup 3 sup is an instance of the ADE classification . Kaleidoscopes Reflection groups ... groups A reflection group W admits a group presentation presentation of a special kind discovered ... H sub j sub of codimension 2. Thus, viewed as an abstract group, every reflection group is a Coxeter group . Finite fields When working over finite fields, one defines a reflection as a map that fixes ... to including Shear mapping shear s in a hyperplane. Reflection groups over finite fields of characteristic ... to finite reflection groups, the Euclidean space R sup n sup , corresponding to affine ... more details
This article is about the reflection principles in set theory. For the reflection principle of complex analysis, see Schwarz reflection principle . For reflection theorems in algebraic number theory, see reflection theorem . In set theory , a branch of mathematics , a reflection principle says that it is possible to find sets that resemble the class of all sets. There are several different forms of the reflection principle depending on exactly what is meant by resemble . Weak forms of the reflection ... , while stronger forms can be new and very powerful axioms for set theory. The name reflection principle ... set. Motivation for reflection principles A naive version of the reflection principle states that for any ... that it contains all sets. To get useful and non contradictory reflection principles we need ... reflection principles we might argue informally as follows. Suppose that we have some collection ... reflection theorems. Alternatively we can use this argument to motivate introducing new axioms for set theory. The reflection principle as a theorem of ZFC In trying to formalize the argument for the reflection ... several closely related reflection theorems of ZFC all of which state that we can find a set that is almost a model of ZFC. One form of the reflection principle in ZFC says that for any finite .... This version of the reflection theorem is closely related to the L wenheim Skolem theorem . Another version of the reflection principle says that for any finite number of formulas of ZFC we can find ... is concerned. For any natural number n, one can prove from ZFC a reflection principle which says that given ... of set theory which are true for V and contain fewer than n quantifiers. Reflection principles as new axioms Bernays used a reflection principle as an axiom for one version of set theory not G del Bernays set theory, which is a weaker theory . His reflection principle stated roughly that if A is a class ..., and the reflection principle can then be used to show that there is a set which has the same property ... more details
