The Orbifold Shop has gone into the business of installing orbifold parts. They offer a special promotional deal: a free coupon for $2.00 worth of parts, installation included, to anyone acquiring a new orbifold.
There are only a few kinds of features for two-dimensional orbifolds, but they can be used in interesting combinations.
With the coupon, for example, you could order an orbifold with
four order 2 cone points, costing
each. Or, you could order
an order 3 cone point costing
, a mirror costing
,
and an order 3 corner reflector costing
.
Theorem.
If you exactly spend your coupon at the Orbifold Shop, you will have
a quotient orbifold coming from a symmetrically repeating
pattern in the Euclidean plane with a bounded fundamental domain.
There are exactly different ways to do this, and corresponding
to the
different symmetrically repeating patterns with bounded
fundamental domain in the Euclidean plane.
Figure 20: This is the pattern obtained when you
buy four order 2 cone points for each.
Figure 21: This is the pattern obtained by
buying an order 3 cone point, a mirror, and an order 3 corner reflector.
Question.
What combinations of parts can you find that cost exactly ?
