Periodic systems

\begin_layout Standard
For periodic systems, we can in similar manner also block-diagonalise the
\begin_inset Formula $M\left(\omega,\vect k\right)=\left(I-W\left(\omega,\vect k\right)T\left(\omega\right)\right)$
\end_inset
from the left hand side of eqs.

Hovewer, in this case,
\begin_inset Formula $W\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$
\end_inset
is in general not invariant under the whole point group symmetry subgroup
of the system geometry due to the
\begin_inset Formula $\vect k$
\end_inset
dependence.
In other words, only those point symmetries that the
\begin_inset Formula $e^{i\vect k\cdot\vect r}$
\end_inset
modulation does not break are preserved, and no preservation of point symmetrie
s happens unless
\begin_inset Formula $\vect k$
\end_inset
lies somewhere in the high-symmetry parts of the Brillouin zone.
However, the high-symmetry points are usually the ones of the highest physical
interest, for it is where the band edges

\begin_layout Standard
The transformation to the symmetry adapted basis
\begin_inset Formula $U$
\end_inset
is constructed in a similar way as in the finite case, but because we do
not work with all the (infinite number of) scatterers but only with one
unit cell, additional phase factors
\begin_inset Formula $e^{i\vect k\cdot\vect r_{p}}$
\end_inset
appear in the per-unit-cell group action
\begin_inset Formula $J(g)$
\end_inset
.
