Let GG be a crystallographic group of the Euclidean plane. Define the lattice and the point group of GG. Suppose that the lattice for GG is {(k,0):kZ}\{(k, 0): k \in \mathbb{Z}\}. Show that there are five different possibilities for the point group. Show that at least one of these point groups can arise from two groups GG that are not conjugate in the group of all isometries of the Euclidean plane.
