We investigate the two classes of finite subgroups of SU(3) that are called type C and D in the book of Miller, Blichfeldt and Dickson. We present two theorems which fully determine the form of the generators in a suitable basis. After…
We use the SmallGroups Library to find the finite subgroups of U(3) of order smaller than 512 which possess a faithful three-dimensional irreducible representation. From the resulting list of groups we extract those groups that can not be…
After 100 years of effort, the classification of all the finite subgroups of SU(3) is yet incomplete. The most recently updated list can be found in P.O. Ludl, J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 44 255204 (2011), where the structure of the series (C)…
We attempt to give a complete description of the "exceptional" finite subgroups Sigma(36x3), Sigma(72x3) and Sigma(216x3) of SU(3), with the aim to make them amenable to model building for fermion masses and mixing. The information on these…
The classification of the finite subgroups of $\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{C})$ and $\mathrm{PGL}_n(\mathbb{C})$ is a classical problem in the field of finite group theory, dating back to the late 19th century with authors like Klein, Jordan,…
We have sorted the SmallGroups library of all the finite groups of order smaller than 2000 to identify the groups that possess a faithful three-dimensional irreducible representation (`irrep') and cannot be written as the direct product of…
We present an overview of the theory of finite groups, with regard to their application as flavour symmetries in particle physics. In a general part, we discuss useful theorems concerning group structure, conjugacy classes, representations…
We study the lowest dimensional typical and atypical representations of SU(5/3) superalgebra as a possible unified gauge theory having a natural SU(5) subalgebra with SU(3) extra structure, which will be used to accommodate three…
In this paper, we obtain classification of the topological holonomy groups in $SO(3)$. Such a group is given by one of the following: a finite group (such groups are classified by Klein); a commutative infinite group which is generated by…
Drinfeld doubles of finite subgroups of SU(2) and SU(3) are investigated in detail. Their modular data - S, T and fusion matrices - are computed explicitly, and illustrated by means of fusion graphs. This allows us to reexamine certain…
We consider N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories based on the group SU(N)_1 x SU(N)_2 x ... x SU(N)_k with matter content (N,N*,1,...,1) + (1,N,N*,..., 1) + >... + (N*,1,1,...,N) as candidates for the unification symmetry of all particles. In…
We investigate the breaking of SU(3) into its subgroups from the viewpoints of explicit and spontaneous breaking. A one-to-one link between these two approaches is given by the complex spherical harmonics, which form a complete set of…
We give a survey of several models of irreducible complementary series representations and their limits, special representations, for the groups SU(n,1) and SO(n,1), including new ones. These groups, whose geometrical meaning is well known,…
We study a subgroup $Fr(162\times 4)$ of SU(3) of order 648 which is an extension of $D(9,1,1;2,1,1)$ and whose generators arise from anyonic systems. We show that this group is isomorphic to a semi-direct product…

It is argued that several papers where SU(3) Clebsch-Gordan coefficients were calculated in order to describe properties of hadronic systems are, up to a phase convention, particular cases of analytic formulae derived by Hecht in 1965 in…
Many non-Abelian finite subgroups of SU (3) have been used to explain the flavor structure of the Standard Model. In order to systematize and classify successful models, a detailed knowledge of their mathematical structure is necessary. In…
We study orbifolds of ${\cal N} = 4$ U(n) super-Yang-Mills theory given by discrete subgroups of SU(2) and SU(3). We have reached many interesting observations that have graph-theoretic interpretations. For the subgroups of SU(2), we have…
We study (1,0) and (2,0) 6D superconformal field theories (SCFTs) that can be constructed in F-theory. Quite surprisingly, all of them involve an orbifold singularity C^2 / G with G a discrete subgroup of U(2). When G is a subgroup of…
The simulation of lattice gauge theories on quantum computers necessitates digitizing gauge fields. One approach involves substituting the continuous gauge group with a discrete subgroup, but the implications of this approximation still…
