Symmetry preserving generators in Lie Group
In quantum computing, we can use finite types of generator to fill $U(N)$ space of all unitary operations, where $N$ is the number of qubits. e.g. $S={X, Z, CNOT}$, where $X$ and $Z$ are single qubit Pauli operators and $CNOT$ is a two qubit operator. With these three generators, we are able to represent a general $U(N)$ transformation as $G_{U(N)} = prod_k e^{-itheta_k s_k^{l_k}/2}, s_kin S.$ Here, the superscript $l_k$ denotes the qubit index.
Now, we put $U(1)$ symmetry restriction to operations, which means the total number of qubits are reserved, hence $X$ gate is not allowed. It turns out $S_{U(1)}={Z, SWAP, CZ}$ is enough as generators to represent all allowed $U(1)$ symmetric operations. [not sure]
Similarly, For $SU(2)$ symmetry, single generator $S_{SU(2)}={SWAP}$ is enough. [at least in $S^2=0$ block]
Constructing the symmetry preserving generator set is important to quantum chemistry. Is it possible to extend the above results to a general symmetry?

Please be more consistent with your notation; for instance, $U(N)$ and U(N) are different sets of symbols.
