Abstract
We derive minimal conditions on a symmetry group of a linearly elastic material that implies its isotropy. A natural setting for the formulation and analysis is provided by the group representation theory where the necessary and sufficient conditions for isotropy are expressed in terms of the irreducibility of certain group representations. We illustrate the abstract results by (re)deriving several old and new theorems within a unified theory.
