Quadratic-polynomial representation of the infinite dihedral group

ID: quadratic-polynomial-representation-of-the-infinite-dihedral-group

Let the rotation and reflection generators act on polynomials of degree at most two by
Then and . The operator has one size-three unipotent Jordan block, so this three-dimensional representation cannot split into invariant subspaces of dimension at most two.
