A145393 Number of inequivalent sublattices of index n in square lattice, where two sublattices are considered equivalent if one can be rotated or reflected to give the other, with that rotation or reflection preserving the parent square lattice.

Comments

From Andrey Zabolotskiy, Mar 12 2018: (Start)

If reflections are not allowed, we get A145392. If any rotations and reflections are allowed, we get A054346.

The parent lattice of the sublattices under consideration has Patterson symmetry group p4mm, and two sublattices are considered equivalent if they are related via a symmetry from that group [Rutherford]. For other 2D Patterson groups, the analogous sequences are A000203 (p2), A069734 (p2mm), A145391 (c2mm), A145392 (p4), A145394 (p6), A003051 (p6mm).

Rutherford says at p. 161 that a(n) != A054346(n) only when A002654(n) > 2, but actually these two sequence differ at other terms, too, for example, at n = 30 (see illustration). (End)
