On the characterization of the SU(3)-subgroups of type C and D

Understand

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 exploring further properties of these groups, we are able to construct a complete list of infinite series in which these groups are arranged.
• For type C there are infinitely many series whereas for type D there are only two.
