Properties of The (m, n) Irrep
Since the angular momentum operator is given by J = A + B, the highest weight of the rotation subrepresentation will be m + n. So for example, the (1/2,1/2) representation has spin 1. The (m, n) representation is (2m + 1)(2n + 1)-dimensional.

Famous quotes containing the word properties:
“The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
