The structure of : preliminaries

Remember that should take values in some representation of the bosonic group, so in constructing the covariant exressions we should take into account the structure of .

We assume 2 things about :

  1. The quadratic Casimir of vanishes (this is the difference of the two Casimirs)

  2. Exists a vector invariant under

These two conditions are actually quite restrictive. The first condition implies that contained in the decomposition of functions on . The second condition implies that it is actually contained in the harmonic functions.
