Load GTPack.

The implemented point groups are given by the nonaxial groups C₁, C_i, C_s, the axial groups C_n, C_nv, C_nh, D_n, D_nd, D_nh (n = 2,3,4,6), S₄, the tetrahedral groups T, T_h, T_d as well as the octahedral groups O and O_h. The installation of these groups gives a faithful representation using three dimensional rotation matrices of O(3).

If spin is taken into account, the double groups of the 32 crystallographic point groups are needed. Double groups can be installed by changing the standard representation to SU(2).

The groups C_n, C_nv (n = 2,3,4,6) as well as C₁ and C_s are important for two dimensional systems. Those groups can be installed using two dimensional rotation matrices by choosing O(2) as a standard representation.

GTPack remembers the used representation (SO(3), SU(2) or SO(2)) while working and thus all implemented modules will work correctly. But, in some cases, when two groups with different representations are installed confusions may occur. Therefore, the actual representation can be checked by using GTWhichRepresentation.

Additionally, the standard representation can be switched manually between SO(3), SU(2) or SO(2) at all time, using GTChangeRepresentation

The user can also install an arbitrary group from its multiplication table, by using GTTableToGroup. Suppose, that g is the order of the group, then GTPack gives a faithful representation using g-dimensional permutation matrices.

The standard representation changes automatically.

To change to permutation matrices use "Permutation".
