Representations (G)
• A representation of a symmetry operation of a group, which CANNOT be expressed in terms of a representation of lower dimension. • CANNOT be broken down into a simpler form.• Characters CANNOT be further diagonalized.
Irreducible Representation-
Reducible Representation-• A representation of a symmetry operation of a group, which CAN be
expressed in terms of a representation of lower dimension. • CAN be broken down into a simpler form.• Characters CAN be further diagonalized. • Are composed of several irreducible representations.

Direct Product General Rules
The product of any singly degenerate representation with itself is a totally symmetric representation
The product of any representation with the totally symmetric representation is totally symmetric representation
