In our method, symmetry adapted functions are obtained by simultaneous diagonalization of a set of commuting operators, whose representation is given in terms of direct products of Wigner’s D functions and vibrational matrix representations provided by a local scheme. The proposed approach is general and permits to obtain in a systematic fashion an orthonormal set of symmetry-projected functions, with good total angular momentum, and carrying the irreducible representations of the molecular symmetry group.}, publisher = {American Institute of Physics}, title = {Symmetry projection of the rovibrational functions of methane}, doi = {10.1063/1.3537847}, author = {Álvarez Bajo, Osiris and Lemus, R. and Carvajal Zaera, Miguel and Pérez Bernal, Francisco}, }
