Group theoretical investigations have a huge potential to simplify calculations in solid state theory. We will discuss the application of group theory to photonic band structures. The symmetry properties of Maxwell’s equations will be investigated. We have developed methods to simplify group theoretical investigations based on the computer algebra system Mathematica. The application to photonic band structures will be discussed in detail for two-dimensional photonic crystals.
