Question: A representation is said to be complex if it is equivalent to its complex conjugate representation. Show that the (mathbf{2}) and (overline{mathbf{2}}) representations are equivalent

A representation is said to be complex if it is equivalent to its complex conjugate representation. Show that the \(\mathbf{2}\) and \(\overline{\mathbf{2}}\) representations are equivalent for \(\mathrm{SU}(2)\) but \(\mathbf{3} eq \overline{\mathbf{3}}\) for SU(3). Look at the weight space.
