Tensor operators II (Q4033141)

The paper is devoted to the investigation of tensor operators transforming under irreducible finite dimensional representations of a connected reductive group \(G\) over \(\mathbb{C}\). Let \(\mathbb{C}(G)\) be the \(\mathbb{C}\)-algebra of regular functions on \(G\). In the first part of this paper [ibid. 18, 4047-4086 (1990; Zbl 0732.22019)] the authors defined coherent tensor operators for \(G\). Let \(B\) be the linear span of coherent tensor operators and let \(T\) be the algebra generated by the set of coherent tensor operators. A \(G\)-module isomorphism \(\varphi\) from \(\mathbb{C}(G)\) to \(B\) is constructed. The main theorem of the present paper states that for \(G = SL(3,\mathbb{C})\) a vector space complement \(Z\) to \(B\) in \(T\) exists that is a two-sided ideal in \(T\). Moreover, \(T = B\oplus Z\) and \(\varphi\) induces a \(\mathbb{C}\)- algebra isomorphism from \(\mathbb{C}(G)\) to \(T/Z\). It is conjectured that these statements are true for an arbitrary connected reductive group \(G\).
