Quantum Chemistry 12.10 - Irreducible Representations

Short lecture on irreducible representations in group theory. The symmetry operations of a molecule form a group, and can be represented in many different ways. The simplest possible representation of the operations is called an irreducible representation, or "irrep". Each point group has a well-defined set of irreps.
