The Standard Model charged-lepton singlet is a right-handed Weyl spinor in the (1, 1)_{-6}
representation. Here charges are normalized as 6Y, so -6 is the usual hypercharge
Y = -1.
LeptonSinglet is the target vector space of one charged-lepton singlet. Its only index is
the Lorentz index carried by the Weyl spinor.
The Lorentz and gauge actions are first defined separately. The gauge action is then computed
on an arbitrary spinor, used to identify its kernel, and descended to each supported global
form of the Standard Model gauge group.

A. The charged-lepton-singlet space
The Weyl spinor carries the right-handed Lorentz index, and it is the whole of the multiplet:
a charged-lepton singlet has no colour index and no weak-isospin index.
The target vector space of one Standard Model charged-lepton singlet.
It carries the (1, 1)_{-6} representation of the gauge group.
The wrapper distinguishes charged-lepton singlets from other isomorphic vector spaces.
The following equivalences transfer the linear structure of the Weyl-spinor space and expose
that model when defining representations.
Identifies a charged-lepton singlet with its underlying Weyl spinor.
The Lorentz group acts through the right-handed Weyl representation, transported along the
identification of a charged-lepton singlet with its spinor.
D. Gauge action
The colour and weak factors act trivially, so the gauge group acts only through hypercharge.
The U(1) action is star z ^ 6; since z is unitary, star z = z⁻¹, so this represents
charge -6.
The formulas below expose the scalar used to compare actions and compute the kernel.
The gauge group acts on a charged-lepton singlet by the hypercharge scalar alone.
An element acts trivially exactly when its hypercharge scalar is one. Its colour and weak
components are unrestricted, since neither appears in the action.
Characterizes the full-group elements acting trivially on the charged-lepton singlet.
A representation descends through a quotient when the quotient subgroup lies in its kernel.
The U(1) component of a central element is a sixth root of unity, so conjugating and raising
to the sixth power gives one, and charge -6 therefore acts trivially.
The central ℤ₆ subgroup acts trivially on (1, 1)_{-6}.
