Group theory
U(n) group of complex unitary n x n matrices SU(n) n x n matrices det U = 1
U = exp (iH) H: Hermitean n x n matrix
det U = exp i (trH) SU(n): det U = 1 tr H = 0
SU(n) (n x n-1) generators SU(2): 3 SU(3): 8 SU(4): 15 SU(5): 24

steps p / q irreducible representations
each state is described by 3 numbers:
