John Sichel asks,

>Can someone tell me the meaning of the word "concise" in symmetry group theory.>This term occurs in the output of the Gaussian programs, as in the following
>examples:

  I am not sure this concept is exploited in standard group theory but it
referes to the subgroup formed by those two-fold operations which interchange
equivalent atoms.  This subgroup contians the operations useful in the
evaluation of integrals and integral derivatives.

  More information on the use of symmetry by the Gaussian 92 system of
programs can be found in the Gaussian 92 Programmer's Reference Manual,
Section 11.7.
