| Sep 29, 2014 at 17:46 | comment | added | Timsey | Thank you very much! If I understand correctly you're saying that an irrep $R_j(g)$ can be infinite dimensional, and thus $D(g)$ has dimensionality equal to the entire Hilbert space? Then notation like $D(p) = (1,0 ; 0,-1)$ actually refers to the 1,-1 being $\mathbb{I}$,-$\mathbb{I}$: the (-)identity in the basis of states which behave like the irreps (the quote from the book)? | |
