Integral invariant

In Section 6.1 we define irreducible representations. Then we state, prove and illustrate Schur s lemma. Schur s lemma is the statement of the all-or-nothing personality of irreducible representations. In the Section 6.2 we discuss the physical importance of irreducible representations. In Section 6.3 we introduce invariant integration and apply it to show that characters of irreducible representations form an orthonormal set. In the optional Section 6.4 we use the technology we have developed to show that finite-dimensional unitary representations are no more than the sum of their irreducible parts. The remainder of the chapter is devoted to classifying the irreducible representations of 5(7(2) and 50(3). 

A fundamental tool in the study of compact groups (such as SU (2), tori and SO(n) for any n) is invariant integration. An integral on a group G allows us to dehne a complex vector space An integral invariant under multipli-...

Exercise 6.12 Suppose that G is a Lie group with a volume-one invariant integral. Suppose that (G, V, p) is a representation with character y. Show that p is irreducible if and only if /(g) dg = 1. 

The 5-function in Eq. (183) thus expresses translational invariance. Integrating Eq. (181) with respect to U and using Eq. (183) finally yields the desired expansion... 

Various methods are available for performing this iniegration (see Pflug [4]), but nowadays Fq values are invariably integrated automatically with stan-...
