title: Symmetry of zinc oxide nanostructures.
abstract: The full geometrical symmetry groups of zinc oxide nanowires, nanotubes, nanosprings and nanorings are found and some physical properties which can be deduced from the symmetry are discussed: conserved quantum numbers and band degeneracies; dynamical representations, Raman and infrared active modes; piezoelectric tensor.
