Let
be the group of symmetries which map a monohedral
tiling
onto itself. The transitivity class of a given
tile T is then the collection of all tiles to which T can be mapped by one of the
symmetries of .
If
has transitivity classes, then is said to be -isohedral. Berglund (1993) gives examples of -isohedral tilings for , 2, and 4.
The numbers of isohedral -polyomino tilings (more specifically, the number of polyominoes
with
cells that tile the plane by rotation but not by translation) for , 8, 9, ... are 3, 11, 60, 199, 748, ... (OEIS A075201),
the first few of which are illustrated above (Myers).
The numbers of -polyomino
tilings that tile the plane isohedrally without additional restriction for , 2, ... are 1, 1, 2, 5, 12, 35, 104, ... (OEIS A075205).
