Using , the five-dimensional vector representation restricts as
which is the decomposition from part (c). The four-dimensional spin representation is naturally a representation of or rather than an honest representation of ; it restricts as
the two chiral spin representations of . Finally,
namely the two three-dimensional summands of the adjoint plus its four-dimensional vector, agreeing with from the SO5 to SO4 branching calculation.
