On the Orthogonal Groups in Four Dimensions

Abstract

Configurations of points in higher space have been known and studied for some time. In what follows we shall classify those configurations of points lying on the hyper-sphere in [4] which may be said to possess the group property. In this classification we shall seek to enumerate only those configurations which are essentially different from this point of view, in order to bring out any geometrical differences which might throw light on the fundamental problems of the theory of linear groups.
