SU(n) tensor transformation

ID: su-n-tensor-transformation

A tensor has one fundamental representation factor for every upper index and a dual factor for every lower index. Under , upper factors transform by and lower factors by ; unitarity identifies the latter with conjugate fundamental matrices. Thus complex conjugation exchanges and . Index permutations and contraction with an invariant tensor commute with the action, producing invariant subspaces and decomposition maps.
