Using Lie algebras L in physical applications one is faced with the fact that the eigenvalues of the Cartan subalgebras H are related to each other by integer multiples of a constant, i. e. integer multiples of the roots. A standard example for this situation is the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator with its HamiltonianH=a+a+ 1/2 and [a,a+] =I, a, a+boson operators. Similarly, the eigenvalues of the third component of angular momentumJ3are related to each other by integer multiples of the root 1. The angular momentumC=J2, however, is a quadratic form and is an element of the enveloping algebra U of L=su(2). Its eigenvalues, constant within an irreducible representation, are non-linear and of the formj(j+ 1).
