- (en) We classify the possible discrete (finite) symmetries of two--dimensional critical models described by unitary minimal conformally invariant theories. We find that all but six models have the group Z_2 as maximal symmetry. Among the six exceptional theories, four have no symmetry at all, while the other two are the familiar critical and tricritical 3--Potts models, which both have an S_3 symmetry. These symmetries are the expected ones, and coincide with the automorphism groups of the Dynkin diagrams of simply--laced simple Lie algebras ADE. We note that extended chiral algebras, when present, are almost never preserved in the frustrated sectors. Comment: 30 pages, no figure, LaTeX 2e
