Abstract
For each , let be the affine group over the integers. For every point let Let be the subgroup of the additive group generated by . If then . Thus, is a complete classifier of . By contrast, if , knowledge of alone is not sufficient in general to uniquely recover : as a matter of fact, determines precisely different orbits, where is the denominator of the smallest positive nonzero rational in and is Euler function. To get a complete classification, rational polyhedral geometry provides an integer such that iff .
