Abstract

We review the representations of so(1,D), the algebra of isometries of D dimensional de Sitter space. We cover the representations in all D, including mixed symmetry representations and fermionic representations, and connect them to the various types of fields that can propagate on de Sitter space. The presentation is from a physics point of view, favoring concrete constructions over abstract considerations.
