# Symmetric interval identification systems of order three

• In the present paper we study symmetric interval identification systems of order three. We prove that the Rauzy induction preserves symmetry: for any symmetric interval identification system of order 3 after finitely many iterations of the Rauzy induction we always obtain a symmetric system. We also provide an example of symmetric interval identification system of thin type.
