Note on E representations in
C15 character table



14 irreducible representations of point group C15 have complex values. 7 two-dimensional real-valued representations E can be constructed as direct sum of the 7 pairs complex plus conjugate complex irreducible representation.

E1 = E1a ⊕ E1b
E2 = E2a ⊕ E2b
E3 = E3a ⊕ E3b
E4 = E4a ⊕ E4b
E5 = E5a ⊕ E5b
E6 = E6a ⊕ E6b
E7 = E7a ⊕ E7b

Obviously the E representations are reducible. Nevertheless the E representations are treated often as irreducible representations and are called real-valued or pseudo irreducible representations. One should keep in mind that general statements for character tables fail for real-valued representations. For example:
