Irreducibility of a Symmetry Group Implies Isotropy

چکیده
We derive minimal conditions on a symmetry group of a linearly elastic material that implies its isotropy. A natural setting for the formulation and analysis is provided by the group representation theory where the necessary and sufficient conditions for isotropy are expressed in terms of the irreducibility of certain group representations. We illustrate the abstract results by (re)deriving several old and new theorems within a unified theory.

The Landau theory' of continuous phase transitions provides a powerful tool for understanding transitions between solid phases whose symmetries have a group-subgroup relationship. In the Landau theory, the thermodynamic free energy F of the crystal is written as a function of an order parameter Q. In the high-symmetry phase, the minimum of F is at Q = 0. In the low-symmetry phase, the minimum o...
متن کاملOn the irreducibility of the complex specialization of the representation of the Hecke algebra of the complex reflection group $G_7$
We consider a 2-dimensional representation of the Hecke algebra $H(G_7, u)$, where $G_7$ is the complex reflection group and $u$ is the set of indeterminates $u = (x_1,x_2,y_1,y_2,y_3,z_1,z_2,z_3)$. After specializing the indetrminates to non zero complex numbers, we then determine a necessary and sufficient condition that guarantees the irreducibility of the complex specialization of the repre...
متن کاملIrreducibility of the tensor product of Albeverio's representations of the Braid groups $B_3$ and $B_4$
We consider Albeverio's linear representations of the braid groups $B_3$ and $B_4$. We specialize the indeterminates used in defining these representations to non zero complex numbers. We then consider the tensor products of the representations of $B_3$ and the tensor products of those of $B_4$. We then determine necessary and sufficient conditions that guarantee the irreducibility of th...

Some generating function yield...
متن کاملSymmetry Groups of Attractors
For maps equivariant under the action of a nite group ? on R n , the possible symmetries of xed points are known and correspond to the isotropy subgroups. This paper investigates the possible symmetries of arbitrary, possibly chaotic, attractors and nds that the necessary conditions of Melbourne, Dellnitz and Golubitsky 15] are also suucient, at least for continuous maps. The result shows that ...
