SO(4,2)-doubleton-Casimirs

SO(4,2) Casimirs in doubleton representation. In this notebook I am constructing a representation of SO(4,2) or SU(2,2) group using 2 pairs of annihilation/creation operators and then I am computing the Casimir invariants for this group in that representation. If you encounter any Fermion/InveX objects, please ignore them as they are not relevant for this particular representation.
