Invariant tensors and Casimir operators for simple compact Lie groups
Arthur J. Mountain
Source abstract
The Casimir operators of a Lie algebra are in one-to-one correspondence with the symmetric invariant tensors of the algebra. There is an infinite family of Casimir operators whose members are expressible in terms of a number of primitive Casimirs equal to the rank of the underlying group. A systematic derivation is presented of a complete set of identities expressing nonprimitive symmetric tensors in terms of primitive tensors. Several examples are given including an application to an exceptional Lie algebra.
