"Diagonalizing" an associative algebra

I misread your question. My comment alluded to the question whether you can have a basis such that $E_i * E_j = $ some single $E_k$, (as opposed to a linear combination of all of them) but what you as …

Maximal compact subroup is dense in Zariski?

When talking about Zariski-topology it is important to specify which field you are working over! Over $\mathbb{C}$ the cirkel is not closed in the Zariski topology on the one-dimensional reductive com …

Real representations of SO(n) and U(n)

The book by Broecker and tom Dieck (Representations of Compact groups, Springer Graduate Texts in Math) has a very useful section about real, complex and quaternionic representations and how to pass b …

What is the relation between spherical principal series representations of a reductive Liegr...

Here is an issue that thoroughly confuses me. I hope I can express it in a way that is clear cut enough for this site. Let $G$ be a real reductive Lie group and $\mathfrak{g}$ be the complexification …

Matrix representation of a certain algebra

The statement that this always CAN be done is called 'Ado's theorem'. One way to get an answer is to look for proofs of this theorem online. This blog post by Terrence Tao looks useful (but I didn't r …

infinitesimal character of Langlands quotient for GL(n,R)

It is quite some years ago that I used to know this, but as far as I remember the ansewr is YES. $J(Q_F, \sigma, \lambda)$ is the unique irreducible quotient of $Ind_{Q_F}^G(\sigma \otimes \lambda \ …

A second course in the representation theory

I think when it comes to second courses, the question OF WHAT you take your representations becomes more relevant. I will say something about representations of Lie groups because that is where I ende …

First Explicit Irreducible Representations

I think "Group Theory for Unified Model Building" by R. Slansky qualifies. As the title suggests it is written with an application in physics (beyond my understanding) in mind, but the tables are very …

The Casimir invariant of an irreducible representation of a compact Lie group

[I started to type this as a comment but it took like ten comments to fit, so I paste it into an answer. It is an answer as it explains how you can use the references you already have to answer your q …
