The squares of are , whereas . Therefore . The symmetric square and exterior square formulas from solution giveComparison with the character table gives the Clebsch-Gordan decomposition of group representationsFor explicit bases, put . The symmetric tensors , , and transform as respectively. The antisymmetric tensor transforms as , also the determinant representation of . Adding these direct sums recovers .
