An isohedral tiling is a monohedral tiling whose symmetry group has a transitive
group action on its tiles. Let be the symmetry group
of a tiling
. The transitivity class
of a tile
consists of all tiles to which
can be mapped by an element of
. If
has
such transitivity classes,
then
is
-isohedral.
Thus an isohedral tiling is 1-isohedral. Berglund (1993) gives examples of
-isohedral tilings for
, 2, and 4.
The numbers of polyominoes with cells that admit a tiling of the
plane by
rotation but not by translation
are 3, 11, 60, 199, 748, ... for
, 6, 7, ... (OEIS A075201).
Examples are illustrated above (Myers).
The numbers of polyominoes with cells that admit an isohedral tiling without additional restriction
are 1, 1, 2, 5, 12, 35, 104, ... for
, 2, ... (OEIS A075205).
These counts identify polyominoes related by rotation
or reflection (Myers).
