Talk:Antifundamental representation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

first of all, fundamental representations, according to the definition you gave in the article are highly nonunique. Secondly, fundamental representations are not non self-dual in general. Thirdly, the term "fundamental rep" as it's used by physicists seems to me to boil down to: for each specific simple Lie algebra, let's pick by an arbitrary convention (which is agreed upon by all physicists) a particular irrep and call it the fundamental rep.
