Character and identity

This is an abstract ordinary complex representation. Its character, rather than its dimension alone, fixes its identity within the specified group and class convention. Columns are 1, -1, {±i}, {±j}, {±k}. Linear labels a,b,c refer respectively to signs (+,-),(-,+),(-,-) on (i,j). [sources]

Tensor operations and physical use

Use the linked character workbench to count internal singlets and decompose tensor, symmetric, or exterior powers. Field statistics apply to the full label space, including Lorentz and species labels when present. A character decomposition does not specify normalized invariant tensors or Clebsch–Gordan coefficients. [sources]

Conventions and realization

The coefficient field is complex; real describes the Frobenius–Schur type of this complex irrep. Labels refer to the table published here, not an upstream row number. No matrix basis is selected. Convention profile: finite-ordinary-complex-v1. [sources]
