Bandstructure Symmetries
• Can be formally defined as operators that commute with eigenproblem operator
• Periodicity gives rise to k vectors and Brillouinzone
• Time-reversal invariance:
– True for all Hermitian operators
– Implies 𝜔𝑛 𝑘 = 𝜔𝑛(−𝑘)

Bandstructure Symmetries
• Mirror-plane symmetries– Mirror reflection defined s.t. 𝑀𝐻 = ±𝐻
– In 2D, z-reflection gives rise to TE and TM polarizations
• Rotational symmetries– Defined s.t. 𝜔𝑛 𝑘 = 𝜔𝑛(ℛ𝑘)
– ℛ depends on crystallographic point group
– In 2D, 3-fold, 4-fold, and 6-fold symmetries
– Other symmetries give rise to quasicrystals
