You do not need to memorize the derivation, but results in boxes are important to know! Complex Numbers; Digression Cartesian Forms The complex plane, vector forms polar representation of complex numbers and vectors Cyclic Groups Consider C N, the cyclic group consisting of the operations C N, C N, C N,..., C N N-1, C N N = E. Because all the operations are in the different classes, there are N irreducible representations and they are all one dimensional. This means that the characters are the same as the matrices - just numbers. Character Tables for Cyclic Groups ε = exp(πi / N) C N C N C N!

2 Example Use the group to find the characters of the reducible representation obtained using the 6 carbon pπ orbitals of benzene as a basis then find the irred. reps. spanned by this rep. Draw the complex coefficients of the orbitals for each irreducible representation. Draw real counterparts of these orbitals.
