I'm supposed to find out all irreducible representations of Pauli group, that is, the group generated by Pauli matrices $\sigma_k(k=1,2,3)$.
It has 16 elements: $\pm 1, \pm i, \pm \sigma_k, \pm i \sigma_k$, and 10 classes: $\{1\}, \{-1\}, \{i\}, \{-i\}, \{\pm \sigma_k\}, \{\pm i \sigma_k\}$. Since the sum of square of dimension of representations equals the order of the group, and the number of irreducible representations equals the number of classes, the only possible combination is 8 1-D representations, and 2 2-D representations.
But the character of the 2-D representation must be $\chi=(2,-2,2i,-2i,0,\cdots,0)$ or the character will have a norm larger than 1, and that means reducible. Thus there can only be one 2-D irreducible representation of Pauli group. That contradicts above.
Then what goes wrong in my deduction?
