Let . Let be the complex vector space of homogeneous polynomials of degree in two variables . Define the usual left action of on and denote by the representation induced by this action. Describe the character afforded by .
Quoting carefully any results you need, show that
(i) The representation has dimension and is irreducible for ;
(ii) Every finite-dimensional continuous irreducible representation of is one of the ;
(iii) is isomorphic to its dual .
