In mathematics, the symmetries of an object or structure is captured by the group of symmetry transformations that preserve it. At an elementary level this starts with the rotations, translations, and combinations thereof, which preserve a wallpaper pattern. On a more advanced level this leads to the symmetry groups of crystals in chemistry, or of protein structures in biology, or for instance the requirements of special relativity that the laws of motion must be invariant under Lorentz transformations.

在数学中，物体或结构的对称性是由保持它的对称性变换组来捕获的。在初级水平上，这从旋转，平移及其组合开始，它们保持墙纸图案。在更高的层次上，这导致了化学中晶体的对称群，或生物学中蛋白质结构的对称群，或者例如狭义相对论的要求，即运动定律在洛伦兹变换下必须是不变的。
