This classic book gives, in extensive tables, the irreducible representations of the crystallographic point groups and space groups. These are useful in studying the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a particle or quasi-particle in a crystalline solid. The theory is extended to the corepresentations of the Shubnikov groups.

This new edition of Kovalev's renowned text (first English edition, 1965) presents all the irreducible representations (IRs) and irreducible corepresentations (ICRs) for the 230 crystallographic space groups. In order to give readers the opportunity of representing generally the entire crystallographic symmetry, the method of inducing an IR of the local groups is presented first, and then complete lists of induced representations (InRs) which allow the calculation of the microstructure of any crystal (already known or not yet discovered, but geometrically not forbidden) in any physical question. For research students and researchers in theoretical aspects of solid state physics, crystallography, and space group theory. Translated from the second Russian edition of 1987.

"This volume contains a computer calculation of tables of the irreducible representations of 230 space groups of all prominent symmetry points in the associated Brillouin zones. The characters of the elements of the group of k are included as well as compatibility tables for related symmetry points. A second section gives the irreducible co-representations of the remaining 1421 magnetic space groups and the classification into the degeneracy types discussed by Wigner. A brief introduction to the theory of space groups will be given before the detailed description of the tables is presented. A general knowledge of group theory is assumed."--Intro. Published 1967.

This concise, class-tested book was refined over the authors’ 30 years as instructors at MIT and the University Federal of Minas Gerais (UFMG) in Brazil. The approach centers on the conviction that teaching group theory along with applications helps students to learn, understand and use it for their own needs. Thus, the theoretical background is confined to introductory chapters. Subsequent chapters develop new theory alongside applications so that students can retain new concepts, build on concepts already learned, and see interrelations between topics. Essential problem sets between chapters aid retention of new material and consolidate material learned in previous chapters.

Space Groups and Their Representations focuses on the discussions on space groups and their corresponding numerical and analytical representations. Divided into six chapters, the book starts with the presentation of the nature and properties of space groups. This topic includes orthogonal transformations and Bravais lattices, such as cubic system, triclinic system, trigonal and hexagonal systems, monoclinic systems, and tetragonal systems. The book then proceeds with the discussion on the irreducible representations of space groups, and then covers the general theory, simplification, and introduction. Discussions on various examples of space groups are given in the third chapter. Numerical representations are provided to support the validity of the different space groups, including discussions on double groups. The book also points out that the irreducible representation of space groups and the application of representation theory to them manifest the latest developments on geometrical crystallography. The text is a vital source of data for scholars and readers who are interested to study space groups and crystallography.
