GROUP THEORY SYMBOL

GTSGGetInvSubGroup

GTSGGetInvSubGroup[space group, classes, basis, index]
gives an invarian subgroup of the factor group G/T (G being a space group, T the group of pure lattice translations) with a specified index

  • GTSGGetInvSubGroup is mainly needed within the commands GTSGGetIreps and GTSGCharacterTable. According to an argument of Zak, every space group contains an invariant sub group of index 2 or 3. The invariant subgroup is found by taking into account the following theorem: A subgroup S of the group forms an invariant subgroup if and only ifit consists of complete classes of ).
