In recent years, topological materials science is a great revolutionary progress in the field of materials science, which is closely related to group theory, in which, a typical representative emerging discipline is Topological Quantum Chemistry. So, add some related features are also intriguing.

That sounds so interesting applications of irreps and this package!
Although I don't know the details about the field, it seems a symmetry indicator is calculated after obtaining corresponding irreps.
So such a calculation will be done outside this package as a post process.

The symmetry indicator, according to my superficial understanding, is just some sort of topological invariants. But, objectively speaking, I am a layman in this field.
