In a recent paper [1] MM. Arnal and Pinczon have classified all complex irreducible representations (ρ, V) of sl(2) having the property (P) that there exists a non-zero element x∈sl(2) such that ρ(x) admits an eigenvalue. It is the purpose of this note to demonstrate, by example, that there exist irreducible representations of sl(2) which do not have property (P). As usual, we consider sl(2) embedded in its universal enveloping algebra U and identify the representations of sl(2) and U.
