The state labeling problems for SO(N) in U(N) and U(M) in Sp(2M)

Abstract
It is shown that, in a boson representation, the operators whose eigenvalues serve to label representations of SO(N) in U(N) also serve to label representations of U(M) in Sp(2M). The problem of labeling U(2) in Sp(4) is considered in detail, and it is shown how to find labeling operators with rational eigenvalues, depending, however, on the representation. The solution of this problem is shown to provide a solution of the equivalent problem of the labeling of SO(3) in U(3).
