subgroup of G(m, 1, n). G(m, p, n) is of order mnn!/p. As matrices, it may be realized as the subset in which the product of the nonzero entries is an (m/p)th root of unity (rather than just an mth root). Algebraically, G(m, p, n) is a semidirect product of an abelian group of order mn/p by the symmetric group Sym(n); the elements of the abelian group are of the form (θa1, θa2, ..., θan), where θ is a primitive mth root of unity and Σai ≡ 0 mod p, and Sym(n) acts by permutations of the coordinates. The group G(m,p,n) acts irreducibly on Cn except in the cases m = 1, n > 1 (the symmetric group) and G(2, 2, 2) (the Klein four-group). In these cases, Cn splits as a sum of irreducible representations of dimensions 1 and n − 1. Special cases of G(m, p, n) Coxeter groups When m = 2, the representation described in the previous section consists of matrices with real entries, and hence in these cases G(m,p,n) is a finite Coxeter group. In particular: G(1, 1, n) has type An−1 = [3,3,...,3,3] = ...; the symmetric group of order n! G(2, 1, n) has type Bn = [3,3,...,3,4] = ...; the hyperoctahedral group of order 2nn! G(2, 2, n) has type Dn = [3,3,...,31,1] = ..., order 2nn!/2. In addition, when m = p and n = 2, the group G(p, p, 2) is the dihedral group of order 2p; as a Coxeter group, type I2(p) = [p] = (and the Weyl group G2 when p = 6). Other special cases and coincidences The only cases when two groups G(m, p, n) are isomorphic as complex reflection groups are that G(ma, pa, 1) is isomorphic to G(mb, pb, 1) for any positive integers a, b (and both are isomorphic to the cyclic group of order m/p). However, there are other cases when two such groups are isomorphic as abstract groups. The groups G(3, 3, 2) and G(1, 1, 3) are isomorphic to the symmetric group Sym(3). The groups G(2, 2, 3) and G(1, 1, 4) are isomorphic to the symmetric group Sym(4). Both G(2, 1, 2) and G(4, 4, 2) are isomorphic to the dihedral group of order 8. And the groups G(2p, p, 1) are cyclic of order 2, as is G(1, 1, 2). List of irreducible complex reflection groups There are
