  • Converse of Schur's Lemma in finite dimensional vector spaces

The statement of Schur's lema for Lie algebras says that.



Let $(rho,mathcal{V})$ is a complex irreducible finite-dimensional representation of a Lie algebra $mathfrak{g}$. If $T$ conmmutes with $rho$, then exists $kinmathbb{C}$ such that $T = koperatorname{Id}_{mathcal{V}}$.



Is the reciprocal satisfied? That is, if the only operators that commute with the representation $rho$ are multiples of $operatorname{Id}_{mathcal{V}}$, then the representation is irreducible?

No; consider the Lie algebra of 2 by 2 upper triangular matrices with the standard Lie bracket and the natural representation on $mathbb{C}^2$. It is easy to check that this is a counterexample.



However, it is true that $V$ must be indecomposable, i.e., there is no nontrivial decomposition as $V = V_1 oplus V_2$ where $V_1 ne V$ and $V_1 ne 0$. Otherwise the projection $pi_1: V rightarrow V_1$ commutes with $rho$, but is neither an isomorphism nor zero, so cannot be a multiple of the identity.
