Abstract
We do not go into the details of group theory here but discuss the use of the tables presented in numerous texts on group theory. An excellent text for physicists is Tinkham (1964). For our discussion here, as in section 8, we use Koster et al (1963). This reference uses the Bethe notation for the irreducible representations (Гi); the relation of the Bethe notation to the Mulligan notation (Ai, Bi etc) is given in the appendices of Griffith (1964). In our discussion we use the Bethe notation for all the single groups and both notations for the cubic 0 group. In the double groups we use only the Bethe notation.
