Abstract
The Eckart‐Wigner theorem is generalized to include nonunitary groups. The proof is based on the connection between corepresentations of a nonunitary group and the representations of its unitary part. All possible cases of the corepresentations have been considered, and general expressions for matrix elements of operators with given symmetry have been obtained. It has been shown that the antiunitary symmetry leads, in general, to additional connections between different matrix elements.Keywords
