The Mathematical Theory of Symmetry in Solids: Representation Theory for Point Groups and Space Groups

by Christopher Bradley, Arthur P. Cracknell, Arthur Cracknell

This book gives the complete theory of the irreducible representations of the crystallographic point groups and space groups. This is important in the quantum-mechanical study of a particle or quasi-particle in a molecule or crystalline solid because the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a system belong to the irreducible representations of the group of symmetry operations of that system. The theory is applied to give complete tables of these representations...
