Abstract
We explain how following the representation of 3D crystallographic space groups in geometric algebra it is further possible to similarly represent the 162 socalled subperiodic groups of crystallography in geometric algebra. We construct a new compact geometric algebra group representation symbol, which allows to read off the complete set of geometric algebra generators. For clarity we moreover state explicitly what generators are chosen. The group symbols are based on the representation of point groups in geometric algebra by versors (Clifford group, Lipschitz elements).
