Introduction The Framework Finite Volume Effects Discretization Effects Conclusion Appendix Symmetries On the lattice SO(3) symmetry reduces to the invariance under the cubic group O . Accordingly «Only eight [five: A 1 , A 2 , E , T 1 , T 2 ] different possibilities exist for rotational classification of states on a cubic lattice. So, the question arises: how do these correspond to the angular momentum states in the continuum? [...] To be sure of higher spin assigments and mass predictions it seems necessary to follow all the relevant irreps simultaneously to the continuum limit. » R.C. Johnson, Phys. Lett. B 114, 147-151, (1982). Integer spin irreps D ℓ of SO(3) decompose into irreps of O as follows: D 0 = A 1 D 1 = T 1 D 2 = E ⊕ T 2 D 3 = A 2 ⊕ T 1 ⊕ T 2 D 4 = A 1 ⊕ E ⊕ T 1 ⊕ T 2 D 5 = E ⊕ T 1 ⊕ T 1 ⊕ T 2 D 6 = A 1 ⊕ A 2 ⊕ E ⊕ T 1 ⊕ T 2 ⊕ T 2 5 / 24 Breaking and restoration of rotational symmetry on the lattice
