18. The crystal energy, being invariant against all the symmetry operations, must transform according to the identity ((Formula presented)) representation. It is a well-known result of group theory that the identity can always be obtained by the product of a given irrep with itself. For a discussion of the influence of these couplings in the elastic and piezoelectric response of a crystal, see P.B. Miller and J.D. Axe, Phys. Rev. 163, 924 (1967).
