While a direct quantization of the reduced symplectic manifolds and concordant induced representations of Poisson algebras may be possible in certain examples, a systematic approach intending to mimic the classical reduction/induction procedure in some quantum fashion ought to start from a quantization of the `unconstrained' system.
A co-adjoint orbit $\O\subset \h^*$ is then analogous to an irreducible unitary representation $\plg$, and the Marsden-Weinstein reduced space $J^{-1}(\O)/H\equiv (T^*G)^{\O}$, carrying the induced action $\pi^{\O}$ of $\cin(\g^*)$, is the symplectic counterpart of the Hilbert space $\hug$ carrying the induced representation $\pug$ of $G$ (or $C^*(G)$).
This condition is the classical analogue of the requirement that a representation of a $\mbox{}^*$-algebra on a Hilbert space be $\mbox{}^*$-preserving, that is, it is a self-adjointness condition.

In mathematics, the adjoint representation (or adjoint action) of a Lie group G is the natural representation of G on its own Lie algebra.
This representation is the linearized version of the action of G on itself by conjugation.

 ICM 94: Abstract
For a complex semisimple Lie algebra, a simple example of a "model" for its finite dimensional representations are the characters: A representation is completely determined by its character, and the tensor product of representations translates into the language of characters as the product of characters.
Figure 3 shows for the Lie algebra ${\rm sl}_3({\bf C})$ the concatenation of a model for the standard representation on ${\bf C}^3$ with a model for its dual representation, and the decomposition into a model for the adjoint representation and a model for the trivial representation.
They proved [1,2] that this graph associated to $M_\pi$ is isomorphic to the crystal graph of the corresponding representation $V_pi(1)$ of the $q$-analogue $U_q({\germ g})$ of the enveloping algebra of the Kac-Moody algebra ${\germ g}$.

 D3 Triality
Therefore, although the conventional linear vector representation of D3 is 6-dimensional, you could (and I do) say that D3 has a NONlinear 4-dimensional representation due to conformal transformations, and I see a Triality among: two D3 4-dim half-spinor representations and one D3 NONlinear conformal (sort of vector-like) 4-dim representation.
Note that you can make the 15-dim adjoint representation of D3 by taking the tensor product of 4x4 to make a 16-dim group that includes the 15-dim adjoint as a subgroup.
The conventional linear dimensionalities of the elementary fundamental representations are: 4

 Why are there eight gluons?
That is, gluons transform in the adjoint representation of SU(3), which is 8-dimensional.
What this means is that, as far as the strong force is concerned, the state of a particle is given by a vector in some vector space on which elements of SU(3) act as linear (in fact unitary) operators.
Antiquarks transform under that representation, and since it is also 3-dimensional we say they come in three colors as well: antired, antiblue, and antigreen.

 Calculation of Cosmological Baryon Asymmetry in Grand Unified Gauge Models (1982)
Real and complex representations appear in many models; pseudoreal representations are rare, since they must be used in a ``doubled'' form to allow construction of mass terms for scalar fields.
Fermions are usually placed in complex representations; this prevents the possibility of group-invariant fermion mass terms (allowed by chiral symmetries) and avoids unobserved right-handed fermions coupled to the weak current.
The adjoint representation in which gauge vector bosons appear is always real.

 Alistair Savage - Research Interests
The field of geometric representation theory has produced many important results such as the proof of the Kazhdan-Lusztig conjecture and irreducible representations of Weyl groups which mathematicians have been unable to obtain algebraically.
Geometric representation theory has also proven to be particularly well suited to proving positivity and integrality results as these are often easy consequences of the geometric nature of the objects involved.
One of the important results from the theory of quiver varieties is the definition of the canonical and semicanonical bases in universal enveloping algebras and their representations which have remarkable properties.

Conjecturally, Fernandes' intrinsic characteristic classes [7] are the characteristic classes [3] of the \adjoint representation".
The problem is that the adjoint representation is a \representation up to homotopy" only.
Applied to algebroids, our construction immediately solves this problem: it extends the characteristic classes of [3] from representations to representations up to homotopy, and shows that the intrinsic characteristic classes [7, 8] are indeed the ones associated to the adjoint representation [5].

 THEORIA
I begin by introducing three conundrums that a theory of scientific representation has to come to terms with and then address the question of whether the semantic view of theories, which is the currently most widely accepted account of theories and models, provides us with adequate answers to these questions.
ABSTRACT: We propose that scientific representation is a special case of a more general notion of representation, and that the relatively well worked-out and plausible theories of the latter are directly applicable to the scientific special case.
Construing scientific representation in this way makes the so-called “problem of scientific representation” look much less interesting than it has seemed to many, and suggests that some of the (hotly contested) debates in the literature are concerned with non-issues.

The problem comes from the fact that the adjoint representation A* *d (G) of G is not orientable.
The reason for this is that elements of G which are n* *ot in H act on the adjoint representation Ad(H) = Ad(G) with a reverse in orientation.
How* *ever, the adjoint representation may not be orientable; for example that of O(2) is not o* *rientable over k unless char(k) = 2.
