Principal series of finite subgroups of SU(3)
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 groups which we derive contains conjugacy classes, proper
normal subgroups, irreducible representations, character tables and tensor
products of their three-dimensional irreducible representations. We show that,
for these three exceptional groups, usage of their principal series, i.e.
ascending chains of normal subgroups, greatly facilitates the computations and
illuminates the relationship between the groups. As a preparation and testing
ground for the usage of principal series, we study first the dihedral-like
groups Delta(27) and Delta(54) because both are members of the principal series
of the three groups discussed in the paper.Comment: 43 pages, no figures; typos corrected, clarifications and references
