1 Little Orthogonality Theorem (LOT) Take diagonal elements of D matrices in RG * D R D R i j G ij mi N * D R D R N i j G G ij ij RG mi mi ( ) By definition, D j j j R TrD R ( R). Sum GOT over β: * * ( ) D R D R D R R i j i j G G ij RG RG mi mi N N N ij RG * ( ) D R R N i j G mi m i. Now yields: ij * ( ) ( ) * ( ) ( ) i j i j G D R R R R ij NGij RG RG mi ( ) * ( ) : i j LOT ( R) R NG RG ij N Orthogonality of characters

3 ( ) * ( ) : i j LOT ( R) R NG RG ( ) i j : i ( R) NG RG ij Consequences: Used to certify irreps LOT : is the same R C, so one can sum over classes: C n ( i) * ( j) C ( C) C NGij Orthogonal vectors have component for each class and there is one of them for each irrep. Thus, the number of irreps does not exceed the number of classes.
4 Dimension m i of irrep i LOT: n ( C) C N CClasses Recall: in irrep i () i ( i) () i ( i) i C somma tracce in classe C: m i C nc ( C) character nc nc () i where C * Imxm represents Dirac's character R.

5 Practical use: one starts with random basis reducible representations. We know that U exists such that = U U + Tr is invariant, so D( R )= trace of reducible representation: ( ) ( R) n j j ( R) j 5
6 trace of reducible representation: ( ) ( R) n j j ( R) j One can find n using the LOT : ( R) R N ( i) * ( j) j G ij RG ( R) ( R) n ( R) ( R) n N ( i) * ( j) ( i) * j j G ij RG RG j j ni ( R) ( R) N G RG ( i) * number of occurrences of irrep i in arbitrary basis = size of determinants for each irrep 6
7 Remark on the number of orthogonal vectors GOT: RG * D R D R i j G ij mi N For each i, D (i) is m i x m i and for each of the m i entries there is a N G component vector ; these m i vectors from all irreps are all orthogonal! The number of orthogonal vectors cannot exceed number of components. i m i N G 7

11 There is a Second character orthogonality theorem (orthogonality of columns): irreps ( i i) ( i) * NG ( C) ( C'), C and C' classes CC' n C Consider the matrix whose entries are those of the character table: Q () i T { (C )} Q ( j ) (C ) j ij i Multiply each entry of Q T by the number of elements of each class divided by the order of the Group, making the new matrix: (j) n (C ) Ci i Q' { } N G
12 Q (j) n (C ) () i Ci i { (C )} Q' { } j N G The product is given by (j) ( ) * ( ') ' (C ) n (C ) i Ck k QQ Q Q ij ik kj k N k kclasses G ( i) * ( j) LOT : one can sum over classes: nc ( C) C C N ( QQ') { } QQ' I Q' Q I. ij ij G ij N G kirreps (k) * (k) n (C ) (C ) C i j ij i Therefore the columns are also orthogonal.
13 kirreps (k) * (k) NG (C ) (C ) i j ij n C i There is one vector for each class There is one component for each irrep The number of orthogonal vectors cannot exceede the number of components Hence the number of classes the number of irreps. Since the other orthogonality theorem for rows implies that the number of irreps the number of classes, the number of classes=the number of irreps.
14 How to generalize the elementary trick to symmetrize/antisymmetrize functions: j D i * j ( j) multiply the GOT : D R D R O( i) by RG ij N ( j) i * G ( j) G ( j) D R R ij ij RG mi mi j ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) R ecall : j D R j j R j R j. The result i G ( ) ( ) f x f x f x i ( j) * G () i D R R ij RG mi i * ( j) ( j) D R R ij RG N N, that is, the action i i i * i ( j) ( i) R is P ij NG RG i m N m P D R P Projection Operators is projection operator and j i.. of 4
15 m i i P D R R NG RG i * generalized projection operator Practical use with any function to project into an irrep: Start from any basis function: i j i cj (, ) Then, if P c( i, ) 0 try another ψ, otherwise gives symmetry-adapted functions i component. There is no need to diagonalize any matrix to get the symmetry-adapted basis. The projection operator is a Group property, like the D. j 5
16 There is no need for the D matrices: Start from any basis function: c( j, ) P c( j, ) j j j j i i P c i, irrep i ( i) i ( i) * P P ( R) R R () i projects on irrep i; we only need ( R) To make basis take several and Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization. 6

There are N G =4 operations. There are C and C rotations around CH bonds,c and S 4 rotations around the x,y,z axes, and 6 σd reflexions in the planes that contain two CH bonds.

Then the orbital z which transforms like z has eigenvalue under C rotation, like >+ > >+ >. To obtain z in a smart way symmetrize on 40 40

43 Broken representations! C v : (x,y) basis for E has subgroup Z C I C g 6 v v E 0 x, y z R z Z I C C * E * z x, y However Z is abelian and degeneracy is broken. Basis for conjugate representations: i m x iy e cos i sin i m x iy e cos i sin are not mixed by Z 4 i i i i i i i i : : : C e e e C e e e e e 4 i i i i i i : : C e e e C e e e Rule: H G subgroup irreps of G are still representations of H, since h H does not mix different representations of G However: some representations become reducible in the subgroup. Example: (x,y) is an irreducible basis for E in C but is broken in Z. v ctually, ( x iy) and (x-iy) are not mixed by rotations, but by reflc e tions. 4 4
44 Important example: angular momentum eigenstates Characters and crystal field splitting j, m irrep of O(), with j m j j j Point Groups are subgroups. How does irrep break in subgroups? Consider first rotations around z axis. ll rotations by same angle belong to same class, so the character is the same independently of the axis of rotation.

In molecules, atomic orbitals that are displaced by symmetry operations mix in the basis of a representation of the Group. Instead, the orbitals of atoms that are not displaced by symmetry operations make reducible transformations that can be analyzed in Irreps of the point Group.
