Decomposition of the Principal Series of Unitary Irreducible Representations of SU(2, 2) Restricted to the Subgroup SU(1,1)⊗SU(2)

Abstract

An explicit form is given for the unitary irreducible representations of the principal nondegenerate series of the group SU(2:2). These representations are then restricted to the subgroup SU(l, 1) 0 SU(2) and are found to be equivalent to the regular representation of SU(l,I) <8> '<'U(2).
