Irreducible representations of Sp(2)
I am looking for an explicit description of the finite dimensional irreducible representations of the classical Lie group $\text{Sp}(2) = \{A\in M_2(\mathbb{H})\,|\,A\overline{A}^T = I\}$.
I can ...

Harmonicity on semisimple groups
I asked this on Math.SE and got no answer, so I'll try my luck here.
Let $G$ be a semisimple real Lie group, $U(\mathfrak{g})$ its universal enveloping algebra, let $\Omega$ be the Casimir element in ...
