SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the relationship between eigenfunctions of a Hamiltonian on a lattice and Bloch functions. It establishes that eigenstates share the symmetries of the Hamiltonian, demonstrated through the representation of symmetry groups. The participant questions whether every eigenfunction is invariant under the Hamiltonian's symmetry groups and seeks clarification on the connection to Bloch functions. The conclusion drawn is that while eigenspaces are invariant, further argumentation is needed to assert that eigenfunctions on a lattice must be Bloch functions.

It is common knowledge in Physics that eigenstates share the symmetries of the Hamiltonian.

And it is trivial to show that this is true for the eigenspaces. Let g be an element of a symmetry group of Hamiltonian H, M_g its representation, \left| \phi \right> an eigenvector and \lambda the corresponding eigenvalue. If g is an element from a symmetry group of H it is given that:

M_gHM_{g^{-1}}\left|\phi\right>=\lambda\left|\phi\right>
Thus
HM_{g^{-1}}\left|\phi\right> = \lambda M_{g^{-1}}\left|\phi\right>

So we see that the eigenspace for \lambda is closed under the operations of M_g
Is there some theorem, that I can decompose this eigenspace into eigenstates of M or how do I proceed from here? This is important for Bloch functions and crystallography. I read something about Schur's lemma being involved.

So to phrase a proper question:
Is every Eigenfunction of a Hamiltonian,invariant up to a scale factor of unity magnitude under the operation of the Hamiltonian's symmetry groups? And if this is so how do I show this?

Ok I think I have answered my question using spherical harmonics. It is really only the eigenspaces that are invariant. But then I don't know how to argue that on a lattice the eigenfunctions must be Bloch functions.
