Representations inequivalent

The traces of the representation matrices are called the characters of the representation, and (equation Al.4.36) shows that all equivalent representations have the same characters. Thus, the characters serve to distingiush inequivalent representations. 

The second axiom, which is reminiscent of Mach s principle, also contains the seeds of Leibniz s Monads [reschQl]. All is process. That is to say, there is no thing in the universe. Things, objects, entities, are abstractions of what is relatively constant from a process of movement and transformation. They are like the shapes that children like to see in the clouds. The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlations (see section 12.7.1) remind us that what we empirically accept as fundamental particles - electrons, atoms, molecules, etc. - actually never exist in total isolation. Moreover, recalling von Neumann s uniqueness theorem for canonical commutation relations (which asserts that for locally compact phase spaces all Hilbert-space representations of the canonical commutation relations are physically equivalent), we note that for systems with non-locally-compact phase spaces, the uniqueness theorem fails, and therefore there must be infinitely many physically inequivalent and... 

One speaks of Eqs. (9-144) and (9-145) as a representation of the operators a and o satisfying the commutation rules (9-128), (9-124), and (9-125). The states 1, - , ) = 0,1,2,- are the basis vectors spanning the Hilbert space in which the operators a and oj operate. The representation (9-144) and (9-145) is characterized by the fact that a no-particle state 0> exists which is annihilated by a, furthermore this representation is irreducible since in this representation a(a ) operating upon an n-particle state, results in an n — 1 ( + 1) particle state so that there are no invariant subspaces. Besides the above representation there exist other inequivalent irreducible representations of the commutation rules for which neither a no-particle state nor a number operator exists.8... 

Case (c).- a0< produces a set of functions , which is independent of the set la, which forms a basis for the irreducible representation Ay(u) of H, which is inequivalent to A (u), but which has the same dimension. Df corresponds to two inequivalent irreducible representations of H, A (u), and A (u), such that in this case the anti-unitary operators cause A (u) and A (u) to become degenerate. 

There is a set of inequivalent irreducible representations. The number of these is equal to the number of equivalence classes among the group elements. If the a irreducible representation is an / x / , matrix, then... 

We stated above that there is an inequivalent irreducible representation of S associated with each partition of n, and we use the symbol fx to represent the number of standard tableaux corresponding to the partition, X. Using induction on n. Young proved the theorem... 

Many of the properties of IRs that are used in applications of group theory in chemistry and physics follow from one fundamental theorem called the orthogonality theorem (OT). If F, F are two irreducible unitary representations of G which are inequivalent if i -/ j and identical if i = j, then...

Since Fz, F7 are inequivalent representations (Tz not I1), Lemma 3 requires that M is the null matrix. Therefore,... 

Now, returning to Pfeifer s model of chirality we see that we have to make a choice of representation when selecting states to use in a Hartree variational calculation of the ground-state of the molecule-radiation field system. In Pfeifer s calculations the trial functions are chosen as coherent states, say t/N based on the photon Fock space n) in the Coulomb gauge theory an inequivalent set of trial functions is obtained by choosing coherent states, ip, based on the gauge-invariant photon Fock space n). One then has to compare the results of two minimization calculations involving, (cf. Eq. 5.4),...

The number of inequivalent irreducible representations is equal to the number of classes in the group of symmetry operators.

Figure 8. (a) A representative rotor-synchronized 1H DQ MAS spectrum, (b) A schematic representation showing the positions of the six possible DQ peaks the observed AB and CC peaks (filled circles) imply the proton—proton proximities indicated in (c). As discussed in section VIIB, in this particular case, the inequivalence of the aromatic protons A, B, and C is a consequence of intermolecular ring current effects.

Efficient use of symmetry can greatly speed up localized-orbital density-functional-exchange-and-correlation calculations. The local potential of density functional theory makes this process simpler than it is in Hartree-Fock-based methods. The greatest efficiency can be achieved by using non-Abelian point-group symmetry. Such groups have multidimensional irreducible representations. Only one member of each such representation need be used in the calculation. However efficient localized-orbital evaluation of the chosen matrix element requires the sum of the magnitude squared of the components of all the members on one of the symmetry inequivalent atoms, based on Eq. 13.

Fig. 2. Representation of ENDOR-derived information about the [4Fe-4S] cluster of aconitase with substrate bound. As indicated, ENDOR studies showed four inequivalent Fe sites and two pairs of atoms. Exchangeable protons and O from bound hydroxide or water, and O and C from bound substrate, also were observed.
