Abstract: Let

n

be a natural number larger than two. Let

D_{2 n} = l a n g l e r, s : r^{n} = s^{2} = e, s r s = r^{n - 1} a n g l e

be the Dihedral group, and

k a p p a

an

n

-dimensional unitary representation of

D_{2 n}

acting in

m a t h b b C^{n}

as follows.

(k a p p a (r) v) (j) = v ((j - 1) m o d n)

and

(k a p p a (s) v) (j) = v ((n - j) m o d n)

for

v i n m a t h b b C^{n} .

For any representation which is unitarily equivalent to

k a p p a,

we prove that when

n

is prime there exists a Zariski open subset

E

of

m a t h b b C^{n}

such that for any vector

v i n E,

any subset of cardinality

n

of the orbit of

v

under the action of this representation is a basis for

m a t h b b C^{n} .

However, when

n

is even there is no vector in

m a t h b b C^{n}

which satisfies this property. As a result, we derive that if

n

is prime, for almost every (with respect to Lebesgue measure) vector

v

in

m a t h b b C^{n}

the

G a m m a

-orbit of

v

is a frame which is maximally robust to erasures. We also consider the case where

a u

is equivalent to an irreducible unitary representation of the Dihedral group acting in a vector space

m a t h b f H_{a u} i n l e f t m a t h b b C, m a t h b b C^{2} i g h t

and we provide conditions under which it is possible to find a vector

v i n m a t h b f H_{a u}

such that

a u l e f t (G a m m a i g h t) v

has the Haar property.
