-[{{ :​advanced_tools:​group_theory:​su3reps.png?​nolink ​|Diagram by Eduard Sackinger}}] +The diagram below shows the defining (3-dimensional) representation of $SU(3)$ in its upper branch and the 8-dimensional adjoint representations of the same group in its lower branch. The adjoint representation can be rewritten such that it acts on 8-dimensional vectors (as opposed to 3x3 matrices) by regular matrix-vector multiplication.
