Crystallographic space groups and group cohomology

I will start adding references on this topic here.

Case of 2D: 17 wallpaper groups, 13 arithmetic classes. There are many materials talking about them. First, a nice summary:

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/3146824/proof-that-there-exist-only-17-wallpaper-groups-tilings-of-the-plane

Then, an excellent outline of the proof by Michael Weiss (who is a distinguished professor in topology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Weiss_(mathematician)):

And this note brings to the ultimate material that I was looking for — a book by Patrick Morandi (the original source, http://sierra.nmsu.edu/Morandi/notes/Wallpaper.pdf , is not working, but the following one is)

The paper “Cohomology for Anyone” by David A. Rabson, John F. Huesman,and Benji N. Fisher:

Several papers by Michel;

The book N-dimensional crystallography by R. L. E. Schwarzenberger

219 Space groups becomes 230 Space groups when resolving chirality (enantiomorphic).

The eleven enantiomorphic groups are listed here:
