1 Little Orthogonality Theorem (LOT) Take diagonal elements of D matrices in R G i * j G αµ βν = δδ ij µνδαβ mi D R D R N N i * j G G Dµµ R Dββ R = δijδ µ β δ µβ = δijδµβ R G mi mi j j ( j) By definition, Dββ R = TrD R = χ ( R). Sum GOT over β: β N N = χ = δδ = δ * ( ) ( ) * D R D R D ( R) ( R) β i j i j G G µµ ββ µµ ij µβ R G R G β mi mi N ij R G * χ D R R = N i j G µµ mi m i δ. Now yields: * * µµ i j i j G D R R R R ij NG ij µ R G R G µ mi ij N χ = χ χ = δ = δ () * : i j LOT ( R) R = NG R G χ χ δ ij µ Orthogonality of characters

3 : χ χ δ () i * ( j) LOT R R = NG R G = = () i i j: χ ( R) NG R G ij Consequences: Used to certify irreps LOT : χ is the same R C, so one can sum over classes: C n ( C) ( C) N () i * ( j) Cχ χ = Gδij 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 χ () i miω ( C) = character = n Recall: in irrep i () i C () i where ω C * Imxm represents Dirac's character mω in irrep i, n N m C Classes C LOT: n χ ( C) χ C = N δ C Classes () i * ( j) C G ij () i nc χ C = NG set i=j: for each irrep i, C Classes n C Ω= () i i C G C = G i = () i nc ( ωc ) R R C Classes in Cv irrep E, ωi =, ωr =, ω σ = 0, nr = me = = N n C 6 +
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: χ( R) n j jχ ( R) j = 5
6 χ R = n χ R ( j) trace of reducible representation: j j One can find n using the LOT : χ ( R) χ R = N δ () i * ( j) j G ij R G χ( R) χ ( R) = n χ ( R) χ ( R) = n N δ () i * ( j) () i * j j G ij R G R G j j n = i χ( R) χ ( R) N G R G () 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: R G i * j G αµ βν = δδ ij µνδαβ mi D R D R 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

10 Groups, Tr D( R) = 0 except Tr D( E) = NG The regular representation i s reducible. How? i ni = χ R χ R = χ E χ E N N G R * i * i * i n = * i E NG E mi. N χ = χ = G m m bloch occurs m times! i i i Burnside theorem mi = NG i G C I C σ g = 6 v v E ( xy) 0, z R z 0
11 There is a Second character orthogonality theorem (orthogonality of columns): irreps () i i () i * NG χ ( C) χ ( C') = δ, C and C' classes CC' n C Consider the matrix whose entries are those of the character table: Q = χ () i T { (C )} Q = χ ( 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 χ (C ) Ci i Q' = { } N G
12 Q (j) n χ (C ) () i Ci i = { χ (C )} Q' = { } j N G The product is given by (j) χ = = () * ( ') ' χ (C ) n (C ) i Ck k QQ Q Q ij ik kj k N k k classes G () i * ( j) LOT : one can sum over classes: nc ( C) C C χ χ = N δ ( QQ ') == { δ } QQ' = I Q' Q = I. ij ij G ij N G k irreps (k) * (k) n χ (C ) χ (C ) = δ C i j ij i Therefore the columns are also orthogonal.
13 k irreps (k) * (k) NG χ (C ) χ (C ) = δ 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 implies that the number of irreps the number of classes, the number of classes=the number of irreps.

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 ν 5

23 P ( E) = = Start projecting from s: 0 = 0 C I C σ g = 6 v v E ( xy) 0, z R z The particular ψ one obtains depends on s orbital: from s, which is σ v () invariant, one gets the σ v () invariant result ψ = s s s 6 ψ s s s = 6 x if axes are taken ψ is like x (even for )
24 0 0 s 0 s s While from s, which is σv() invariant, one got the σv() invariant result E s s s P s = ψ = 6 Orthonormalizing from s, one gets E s s s P s = ψ ' = 6 ψ = s lternative method: projection on irrep and component s transforms like y ( ψ, ψ ) ( x, y) = E E * P xx Dxx ( R) R 6 R We need appropriate D matrices for that
25 bove, we introduced the following matrices for irrep E: irrep E of C : 0 c s c s DE = DC = DC = 0 s c s c 0 c s c s D( σ ) = D( σ ) = D( σ ) = a c b 0 s c s c π π c = cos =, s= sin = v σ a :x changes sign y goes to y c a b x 5 5
26 However now the geometry is: a b D ( C) =, DC ( ) = remain 0 σa( xy, ) = ( x, y), that is, σa = 0 σ σ σ c = σ C a = b = C a = c New matrices for irrep E D( C ) =, DC ( ) = σ a 0 = 0 σ b = σ c = 6
27 Now we can proceed with the calculation of = E E * P xx Dxx R R 6 R Operators R on Hydrogen basis E = 0 0 C = 0 0 C = σa = 0 0 σb = 0 0 σc = Recall: Γ ( H ) = E 7 7

30 Molecular Orbitals of CH CH belongs to the tetrahedral symmetry Group Td; we may put the C atom at the origin and H atoms at (-,,),(,-,),(-,-,-),(,,-) in appropriate units. There are N G = operations. There are C and C rotations around CH bonds,c and S rotations around the x,y,z axes, and 6 σd reflexions in the planes that contain two CH bonds. The C orbitals (s,px, py, pz) are classified at once under and T. T E 8C C 6σ 6S N = d d G 0 0 (, ) E z r x y T 0 ( R, R, R ) T 0 ( xyz,, ) r x y z 0 0

Then z has eigenvalue under C rotation, like >+ >. ( T ) Start from the action of = + σ on, P ( T ) To obtain ψ z symmetrize on P C S C d σ S d = [ + + ] + [ ] [ + + ] 0 0
41 ( T ) Start from the action of P C S on, P ( T ) = + σ C d σ S d = [ + + ] + [ ] [ + + ] Simplify and do the same on P = [ + + ] P = [ + + ] ( T ) ( T ) ψ P + = z P P ( T ) ( T ) = [ + + ] = [ + + ] ( T ) [ ]

Since H elements cannot depend on components. Indeed, only occupied levels are seen in XPS, the upper one is times degenerate.

44 Important example: angular momentum eigenstates { } j Characters and crystal field splitting jm, irrep of O(), with j m 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. j L jm, = m jm, z j j j ilzα im jα R( α ) jm, = exp jm, = e jm, z j j j ( α ) ( j) im jα matrix of j representation is D ( Rz ) diag( e ) = j ( j) im jα TrD ( Rz ( α) ) e. m = j χα = = j
45 Trick to evaluate the sum: α i i j α α im jα i i ijα i( j ) α ijα ijα i( j ) α ijα sin e = e ( e + e + + e ) e ( e + e + + e ) m j = j j ( j) im j TrD ( Rz ( α) ) e α. m = j χα = = j ( ) ( α im ) jα i j+ α i j+ α sin e = ( e e ) = sin[ j+ α] m = j i j ll terms cancel except two: for instance for J= α e = e e + e + + e + e e e + e + + e + e i i α α im jα i i iα iα iα iα iα iα iα iα sin ( ) ( ) m = j 5 iα/ iα/ iα/ iα/ iα/ iα/ iα/ iα/ iα/ 5 iα/ = ( e + e + e + e + e ) ( e + e + e + e + e ) = i i 5 iα/ 5 iα/ 5α = ( e e ) = sin. i j 5 5
46 χα j sin[ j + α] im j = e α = α mj = j sin The { jm, } j basis is reducible in point Groups Number of times irrep i is present in basis: i ni = χ R χ R N G R * In this way the orbitals of atoms that are non displaced by symmetry operations can be analyzed in Irreps of the point Group. 6 6
