Tóm tắt

The motion groups of the real Euclidean plane and of the elliptic plane, the group of projectivities of a line, the projective general linear group PGL2(K), some orthogonal groups O3(K, Q) with char K = 2 (see [8]), are all bireflectional (zweispiegelig). There can be no doubt that bireflectional groups are of prime importance in any theory of groups that are generated by involutions. A brief look into F. Bachmann's book [1] gives convincing evidence.
