Representation actions are explicitly described.

Basis functions relate to hypergeometric functions.

Abstract

A realization of representations of the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{o}_5$ in the space of functions on a group $Spin_5\simeq Sp_4$ is considered. In a representation we take a Gelfand-Tsetlin type base associated with a restriction $\mathfrak{o}_5\downarrow\mathfrak{o}_3$. Such a base is useful is problems appearing in quantum mechanics. We construct explicitely functions on the group that correspond to base vectors. As in the cases of Lie algebras $\mathfrak{gl}_3$, $\mathfrak{sp}_4$ these functions can be expressed through $A$-hypergeometric functions (this does not hold for algebras of these series in higher dimentions). Using this realization formulas for the action of generators are obtained.
