Now the textbook QFT matrix for the S3 subgroup is 6x6 so I guess my own QFT matrix would be 8x8.
Questions:If I replace σ11 and σ12 with the matrices of (1,2) and (2,3)and σ21 and σ22 with the other two matrices do I need to change something in the overall QFT matrix?

"the textbook QFT matrix" Is there a specific textbook you are following, or do you just mean the term "textbook" to imply it is relatively well known? –
