On S2=SU(2)/U(1) a degree-q equivariant line bundle corresponds to isotropy character diag(eit,e−it)↦e−iqt. The Peter-Weyl theorem computes its section multiplicities by the occurrence of weight −q in the SU(2) representation SymnC2. Its weights n,n−2,…,−n give the displayed multiplicity-one decomposition. The spinor lines have degrees −1,+1 and thus contain all odd n, once each.
