Regular polyhedra and related structures such as complexes and nets play a prominent role in the study of materials such as crystals, nanotubes and viruses. This work discusses an approach to the theory of realizations of abstract regular polyhedra with an emphasis on the construction of a realization and its decomposition as a blend of subrealizations. To demonstrate the approach, it is applied to the polyhedra whose automorphism groups are abstractly isomorphic to the non-crystallographic Coxeter group H3.

An approach to the determination of the symmetry groups of structural analogs of single-wall carbon nanotubes using ideas in color symmetry theory is described. The line group structures of the symmetry groups of BN, BC3, BCN and BC2N nanotubes are identified. An extension of the method to address nanotubes with non-hexagonal symmetry is also presented.

A flat torus E^2/Λ is the quotient of the Euclidean plane E^2 with a full rank lattice Λ generated by two linearly independent vectors v_1 and v_2. A motif-transitive tiling T of the plane whose symmetry group G contains translations with vectors v_1 and v_2 induces a tiling T^* of the flat torus. Using a sequence of injective maps, we realize T^* as a tiling T- of a round torus (the surface of a doughnut) in the Euclidean space E^3. This realization is obtained by embedding T^* into the Clifford torus S^1 × S^1 ⊆ E^4 and then stereographically projecting its image to E^3. We then associate two groups of isometries with the tiling T^* – the symmetry group G^* of T^* itself and the symmetry group G- of its Euclidean realization T-. This work provides a method to compute for G^* and G- using results from the theory of space forms, abstract polytopes, and transformation geometry. Furthermore, we present results on the color symmetry properties of the toroidal tiling T^* in relation with the color symmetry properties of the planar tiling T. As an application, we construct toroidal polyhedra from T- and use these geometric structures to model carbon nanotori and their structural analogs.

This work investigates the symmetry and color-symmetry properties of transitive tilings embedded on a flat torus and their geometric realizations as tilings on a round torus. The realizations are used to model nanotori.
