The left group action on the homogeneous polynomials is , since . Every SU(2) matrix is conjugate to with . In the monomial basis , its eigenvalues are . Consequently the character of the homogeneous polynomial representation of SU2 is
The quotient is interpreted by continuity at the endpoints: and . The introductory action and character requests are independent of parts (i)–(iii), so this root Solution slot has been restored.
