==== Errata ====

//(Last update: 8/12/17)//

  * (ss)4.1, p.15: The assertion that $i\ell$, $j\ell$, $k\ell$ square to $-1$ does //not// follow from the assumptions so far.  See the [[updates|updates]] page for further discussion.

  * (ss)6.4, p.38: The assertion in (6.29) that $SO4^\pm\cong\SO(3)$ and in (6.32) that $\SO(3)\times\SO(3)=\SO(4)$ are only true locally, not globally.  The correct assertions are that $SO4^\pm\cong\SU(2)$ and that $\SO(3)\times\SO(3)$ is the factor group of $\SO(4)$ by its reflection subgroup.

  * (ss)9.4, p.74: Contrary to the stated assertion, it was not shown in (ss)8.1 that $\Sp(2)\cong\Spin(5)$.  Further discussion can be found on the [[updates|updates]] page.

  * (ss)13.5.3, p.154: The last component in the matrix in (13.133) is incorrectly typeset, and should be $p$.  The correct equation is:
$$
\CCC =
\begin{pmatrix}
 ~~p & iq & -q(j-i\ell-j\ell) \\ \noalign{\smallskip}
 -iq & p & ~q(1+k+l) \\ \noalign{\smallskip}
 q(j-i\ell-j\ell) & -q(1-k-l) & p \\
\end{pmatrix}
$$

  * (ss)10.3, p.81: The caption of Figure 10.1 lists the root diagrams in the wrong order.  The correct order is $\dd_2=\so(4)$, $\aa_2=\su(3)$, $\bb_2=\so(5)$, $\gg_2$, that is, $\aa_2$ and $\bb_2$ have been swapped.  Furthermore, the diagram labeled $\bb_2$ is usually associated with $\cc_2=\sp(2)$, although these Lie algebras (and their root diagrams) are isomorphic.
