    Answer as many questions as you can; all carry the same number
    of marks.
    All representations are finite-dimensional over C.
    1. What is meant by an invariant measure on a compact group G? Sketch
    the proof that every compact group G carries such a measure. To what
    extent is this measure unique?
    2. Prove that every simple representation of a compact abelian group is
    1-dimensional and unitary.
    Determine the simple representations of U(1).
    3. Determine the conjugacy classes in SU(2). Prove that SU(2) has just
    one simple representation of each dimension m = 1, 2, 3, . . .; and determine the character of this representation.
    4. Show that there exists a surjective homomorphism
    : SU(2) SO(3)
    with finite kernel.
    Hence or otherwise determine all simple representations of SO(3).
