More than One Character Table?: A Warning on the Use of Rules of the Irreducible Representations and Their Characters
Carlos Contreras-Ortega, Leonel Vera, and Eduardo Quiroz-Reyes
Universidad Catolica del Norte, Casilla 1280, Antofagasta, Chile

Abstract
It is demonstrated that the accepted procedure of constructing character tables by making use of the known rules derived from The Great Orthogonality Theorem about the irreducible representations and their characters, can give more than one table as character table for some symmetry point groups. All these tables adhere perfectly well to the rules. The limitation to the known method is discussed. The procedure to obtain the correct table is indicated .
