SU(2) and SL(2) representations on spaces of homogeneous polynomials
[6/50%]Let be the space of homogeneous polynomials of degree in with complex coefficients. For
and , set
Prove that the restriction of the representation to the subgroup is irreducible.
Let be the polynomial ring in two variables over the field . Let be a positive integer and be the sub vector space of polynomials which are homogeneous of degree . Then has the basis
and dimension . An element of
operates on by the transformation , and is the representation space for for each under this operation. We could also write in matrix form
Let , . Show that the images of under the transformation by
are given by
Consider the vector space of homogeneous polynomials of two complex variables. An element of this vector space can be written as
The compact Lie group acts on this vector space through the action of as a linear transform on the vector by
Show that this a group homomorphism.
