A note on the real representations of SU(2,\({\mathbb{C}})\) (Q753973): Difference between revisions

It is known [\textit{T. Bröcker} and \textit{T. tom Dieck}, Representations of Compact Lie groups (Springer, New York, 1985; Zbl 0581.22009)] that for an arbitrary compact topological group G, a real irreducible and finite-dimensional representation is paired in some sense with the appropriate complex one via the so called structure map. For instance, all irreducible complex representations of the group SU(2,C) widely used in physics are quite well known, and therefore, constructing this structure map one can properly describe all its real irreducible representations. That has been made in fact in the paper under review.
