Abstract

I have presented a means of getting a representation space of a general linear group ofn dimensions in terms of homogeneous functions ofn,n-dimensional vectors. Except in particular cases, the representation is of the Lie algebra, rather than the group. A general formalism is set up to evaluate the Casimir operators of the Lie algebra of the group in terms of the degrees of homogeneity of the functions (which are eigenfunctions of the Casimir operators) in then variables. It is noticed that the Casimir operators exhibit certain symmetries in these degrees of homogeneity which relate different representations having the same eigenvalues for the Casimir operators. Contour integral formulas that enable one to pass from one such representation to another are presented. An expression for the eigenvalues of a general Casimir operator in terms of the degree of homogeneity is presented.
