Question for SXC students

Like other College students , they consider themselves as CU students. Do students of SXC ' consider themselves CU students? Or they kinda like we are autonomous, no link with CU..

Just curious

Confusion about notation in Schwinger boson representation

I am studying the Schwinger boson representation of angular momentum and I am confused about the notation change.

We start with two bosonic oscillators and basis states:

|n_a, n_b>

Then define:

j = (n_a + n_b)/2

m = (n_a - n_b)/2

From this we can also write:

n_a = j + m
n_b = j - m

So far okay.

But then suddenly books/lectures write:

|n_a, n_b> ≡ |j, m>

This is where I am confused.

Shouldn't it be:

|n_a, n_b> = |j+m, j-m>

instead of |j,m> ?

I understand that j,m are functions of n_a,n_b, but I don't understand how the ket labels themselves suddenly become |j,m>.

Is this just a relabeling of the same Hilbert space basis, or am I missing something deeper?

Would really appreciate an intuitive explanation.
