Abstract

A new method of the constructing of the basic functions for spaces of tensor representations of the Lie groups, with the help of the generalized Casimir operator, has been proposed. In the definition of the operator there we used the Lie derivatives instead of the corresponding infinitesimal operators. When introducing the generalized Casimir operator we used the metric for which a group being considered will be isometry that follows from the invariance condition for the generalized Casimir operator. This allows us to formulate the eigenvalue and eigenfunction problems correctly. The invariant projection operators have been constructed in order to separate irreducible components. The cases of the Bianchi type G3IX and G3II groups are considered as examples.
