## Abstract In an attempt to apply bandβstructure calculations to polymers with βreducedβ symmetries, and simultaneously to examine some of the causes of band gaps in semiconducting polymers, two types of symmetry reduction are applied on the allβ__trans__ polyacetylene chain. Using a neighboringβs
