Sep 1, 2023 at 12:47 comment added Bugs Bunny And I was wrong: I have found my error. $\lambda^2 (x^3-3x)=1$, indeed.
Sep 1, 2023 at 12:30 comment added Bugs Bunny I have seen this fellow. Somehow, I had $\lambda^2 (x^3-3x)=10$. Let me go through my calculation.
Sep 1, 2023 at 9:59 comment added Will Sawin @BugsBunny It should be $x^3-3x$.
Sep 1, 2023 at 7:07 comment added Bugs Bunny Thanks! I agree about $R({\mathbb C})$ but I am less certain about $R({\mathrm SL}_2 ({\mathbb C})$. I have calculated (possibly with an error, if you are right) all polynomials $y$ up to degree 4 with $\lambda^2(y)=1$ and $\lambda^3(y)=0$. These are only $2$, $x$, $x^2-2$ and $(x^2-2)^2-2$. In particular, there is no element (endomorphism) of degree 3. Could you say what element of degree 3 you are getting?
