Extra timer-reversal degeneracy


u belongs to
u={σ|τ}
σk=k+Kq

v0={ρ0|τ0}
ρ0k=-k+Kq'

Relation between representation of and G'

case 1
case 2
case 3

kΔ(i)(u)Δ(i)(u)Δ(i)(u),

Δ(i)(v0-1uv0)*=Δ(j)(u)

G'kD(i)(u)D(i)(u)D(i)(u)
Relation
D(i)(u) =Δ(i)(u)D(i)(u) =2Δ(i)(u)D(i)(u) =Δ(i)(u)+Δ(j)(u)
degeneracy
no new degeneracy
degeneracy doubled
Δ(i)(u) and Δ(j)(u) are now degenerate

Criteria:
χΔ(i){u'u}
where
u=
u={σ|τ}
u'=v0-1uv0
The sum is over σ, and
there are M of them.
The ni is the dimension of Δ(i)(u)
ω=1 for single group,
  =-1 for double group

ωχ{Δ(i)(v02)}M/niχ{Δ(i)(v02)}M/ni0

If v02={E|Rn} or {E'|Rn}
where E=ωE
ωMM0
