and the irrep dimension gives a priori information about mode degeneracy.

With these transformation properties in hand, we can proceed to the effects
|
||
of point symmetries on the whole many-particle system.
|
||
Let us have a many-particle system symmetric with respect to a point group
|
||
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $G$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
.
|
||
A symmetry operation
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $g\in G$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
determines a permutation of the particles:
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $p\mapsto\pi_{g}(p)$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
,
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $p\in\mathcal{P}$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
.
|
||
For a given particle
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $p$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
, we will call the set of particles onto which any of the symmetries maps
|
||
the particle
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $p$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
, i.e.
|
||
the set
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $\left\{ \pi_{g}\left(p\right);g\in G\right\} $
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
, as the
|
||
\emph on
|
||
orbit
|
||
\emph default
|
||
of particle
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $p$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
.
|
||
The whole set
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $\mathcal{P}$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
can therefore be divided into the different particle orbits; an example
|
||
is in Fig.

|

\end{align}
|
||
|

\end_inset
|

|

This means that the field expansion coefficients
|

\begin_inset Formula $\rcoeffp p,\outcoeffp p$
|

\end_inset
|
||
|
||
transform as
|
||
\begin_inset Formula

\begin{align}

\rcoeffptlm p{\tau}lm & \mapsto\rcoeffptlm{\pi_{g}^{-1}(p)}{\tau}lmD_{m,\mu'}^{\tau l}\left(g\right),\nonumber \\

We are interested in the modes at the

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 $\Gamma_{\mathrm{lat.mod.}}=\Gamma^{\mathrm{equiv.}}\otimes\Gamma_{\mathrm{vec.}}$
