Symmetry[]

The dual of this tiling represents the fundamental domains of [∞,4], (*∞42) symmetry. There are 15 small index subgroups constructed from [∞,4] 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, [1⁺,∞,1⁺,4,1⁺] (∞2∞2) is the commutator subgroup of [∞,4].

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