-There are several good websites listing the point-groups and character tables http://gernot-katzers-spice-pages.com/character_tables/ or http://www.cryst.ehu.es/cryst/get_point_genpos.html for example. So why do we add another page on point groups? The question one often needs to answer is how does my Hamiltonian that is represented by a potential look like in a given symmetry. Where most pages list which angular momenta $l$ are allowed, i.econtain an $a_1$ representation they generally do not list the specific form of the allowed function. We here present tables that explicitly list the symmetric representation and present forms that can be used in Quanty.+The following set of pages list properties of the different point groups and their irreducible representationsThe table above links to the main page of each of the different point group. For each group we list the character and product table. Often one needs to answer the question how a potential in a given point group looks like and what the eigen-states of that potential are. The eigen states can be grouped according to the irreducible representations of the group and for each of these representations one can give representing functionsThe form of these functions and the potential however do depend on the orientation of the point group. We therefor list for each point group different orientations.
