If the system has nontrivial point group symmetries, group theory gives
additional understanding of the system properties, and can be used to reduce
the computational costs.

As an example, if our system has a
\begin_inset Formula $D_{2h}$
\end_inset
symmetry and our truncated
\begin_inset Formula $\left(I-T\trops\right)$
\end_inset
matrix has size
\begin_inset Formula $N\times N$

it can be block-diagonalized into eight blocks of size about
\begin_inset Formula $N/8\times N/8$
\end_inset
, each of which can be LU-factorised separately (this is due to the fact
that
\begin_inset Formula $D_{2h}$
\end_inset
has eight different one-dimensional irreducible representations).
This can reduce both memory and time requirements to solve the scattering
problem

) due to small number of particles per unit cell, the costliest part is
usually the evaluation of the lattice sums in the
\begin_inset Formula $W\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$
\end_inset
matrix, not the linear algebra.
However, the lattice modes can be searched for in each irrep separately,
and the irrep dimension gives a priori information about mode degeneracy.

A general overview of utilizing group theory to find lattice modes at high-symme
try points of the Brillouin zone can be found e.g.
in

; here we use the same notation.

We analyse the symmetries of the system in the same VSWF representation
as used in the
\begin_inset Formula $T$
\end_inset
-matrix formalism introduced above.
We are interested in the modes at the
\begin_inset Formula $\Kp$
\end_inset
-point of the hexagonal lattice, which has the
\begin_inset Formula $D_{3h}$
\end_inset
point symmetry.
The six irreducible representations (irreps) of the
\begin_inset Formula $D_{3h}$
\end_inset
group are known and are available in the literature in their explicit forms.
In order to find and classify the modes, we need to find a decomposition
of the lattice mode representation
\begin_inset Formula $\Gamma_{\mathrm{lat.mod.}}=\Gamma^{\mathrm{equiv.}}\otimes\Gamma_{\mathrm{vec.}}$
\end_inset
into the irreps of
\begin_inset Formula $D_{3h}$
\end_inset
.
The equivalence representation
\begin_inset Formula $\Gamma^{\mathrm{equiv.}}$
\end_inset
is the
\begin_inset Formula $E'$
\end_inset
representation as can be deduced from
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
after "eq. (11.19)"
key "dresselhaus_group_2008"
literal "true"
\end_inset
, eq.
(11.19) and the character table for
\begin_inset Formula $D_{3h}$
\end_inset
.
\begin_inset Formula $\Gamma_{\mathrm{vec.}}$
\end_inset
operates on a space spanned by the VSWFs around each nanoparticle in the
unit cell (the effects of point group operations on VSWFs are described
in
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "schulz_point-group_1999"
literal "true"
\end_inset
).
This space can be then decomposed into invariant subspaces of the
\begin_inset Formula $D_{3h}$
\end_inset
using the projectors
\begin_inset Formula $\hat{P}_{ab}^{\left(\Gamma\right)}$
\end_inset
defined by
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
after "eq. (4.28)"
key "dresselhaus_group_2008"
literal "true"
\end_inset
.
This way, we obtain a symmetry adapted basis
\begin_inset Formula $\left\{ \vect b_{\Gamma,r,i}^{\mathrm{s.a.b.}}\right\} $
\end_inset
as linear combinations of VSWFs
\begin_inset Formula $\vswfs lm{p,t}$
\end_inset
around the constituting nanoparticles (labeled
\begin_inset Formula $p$
\end_inset
),
\begin_inset Formula
\[
\vect b_{\Gamma,r,i}^{\mathrm{s.a.b.}}=\sum_{l,m,p,t}U_{\Gamma,r,i}^{p,t,l,m}\vswfs lm{p,t},
\]
\end_inset
where
\begin_inset Formula $\Gamma$
\end_inset
stands for one of the six different irreps of
\begin_inset Formula $D_{3h}$
\end_inset
,
\begin_inset Formula $r$
\end_inset
labels the different realisations of the same irrep, and the last index
\begin_inset Formula $i$
\end_inset
going from 1 to
\begin_inset Formula $d_{\Gamma}$
\end_inset
(the dimensionality of
\begin_inset Formula $\Gamma$
\end_inset
) labels the different partners of the same given irrep.
The number of how many times is each irrep contained in
\begin_inset Formula $\Gamma_{\mathrm{lat.mod.}}$
\end_inset
(i.e.
the range of index
\begin_inset Formula $r$
\end_inset
for given
\begin_inset Formula $\Gamma$
\end_inset
) depends on the multipole degree cutoff
\begin_inset Formula $l_{\mathrm{max}}$
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\lang english
Each mode at the
\begin_inset Formula $\Kp$
\end_inset
-point shall lie in the irreducible spaces of only one of the six possible
irreps and it can be shown via
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
after "eq. (2.51)"
key "dresselhaus_group_2008"
literal "true"
\end_inset
that, at the
\begin_inset Formula $\Kp$
\end_inset
-point, the matrix
\begin_inset Formula $M\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$
\end_inset
defined above takes a block-diagonal form in the symmetry-adapted basis,
\begin_inset Formula
\[
M\left(\omega,\vect K\right)_{\Gamma,r,i;\Gamma',r',j}^{\mathrm{s.a.b.}}=\frac{\delta_{\Gamma\Gamma'}\delta_{ij}}{d_{\Gamma}}\sum_{q}M\left(\omega,\vect K\right)_{\Gamma,r,q;\Gamma',r',q}^{\mathrm{s.a.b.}}.
\]
\end_inset
This enables us to decompose the matrix according to the irreps and to solve
the singular value problem in each irrep separately, as done in Fig.
