comment Is the $(\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{2})$ representation of $SO(3,1)$ reducible or not?
Can you please elaborate on this answer, as I'm only just starting to learn representation theory, if you don't mind. Also, from your answer can I say that, instead of $SO(3,1)$ if I had taken $SO(4)$, then it would have been irreducible ?

comment Confusion regarding product of two lie groups and the generators
@Callum what is the implication for the generators then ? If I do create a group by the direct product of the $SU(2)$'s, what will the generators of the new group look like ? Also, I do think that I'm using the words group and representations interchangebly.
