Abstract

A space group of a crystal describes its symmetrical properties. Many mathematical approaches have been explored to study these properties. One of the properties is on exploration of the nonabelian tensor square of the group. Determining the polycyclic presentation of the group before computing the nonabelian tensor square is the method used in this research. Therefore, this research focuses on computing the polycyclic presentations of the torsion free space group named Bieberbach group with a quaternion point group of order eight.
