Symmetry

The dual of this tiling represents the fundamental domains of , (*∞42) symmetry. There are 15 small index subgroups constructed from by mirror removal and alternation. Mirrors can be removed if its branch orders are all even, and cuts neighboring branch orders in half. Removing two mirrors leaves a half-order gyration point where the removed mirrors met. In these images fundamental domains are alternately colored black and white, and mirrors exist on the boundaries between colors. The subgroup index-8 group, (∞2∞2) is the commutator subgroup of .

A larger subgroup is constructed as , index 8, as , (4*∞) with gyration points removed, becomes (*∞∞∞∞) or (*∞), and another , index ∞ as , (∞*2) with gyration points removed as (*2). And their direct subgroups , , subgroup indices 16 and ∞ respectively, can be given in orbifold notation as (∞∞∞∞) and (2).
