  "abstract": "We compute the Chern classes of irreducible representations for the dihedral groups $D_{2n}$ and the generalized quaternion groups $Q_{2^n}$. Utilizing these computations, we investigate whether every even-dimensional class in the integral group cohomology of these families can be realized as a Chern class of some complex representation. It turns out that this realizability question answers in the affirmative for the generalized quaternion groups. In contrast, it turns out that the answer for dihedral groups is erratic.",
