A Calculus for Su(3) Leading to an Algebraic Formula for the Clebsch-gordan Coefficients

چکیده
ABSTRACT: We develop a simple computational tool for SU(3) analogous to Bargmann’s calculus for SU(2). Crucial new inputs are, (i) explicit representation of the Gelfand-Zetlin basis in terms of polynomials in four variables and positive or negative integral powers of a fifth variable (ii) an auxiliary Gaussian measure with respect to which the Gelfand-Zetlin states are orthogonal but not normalized (iii) simple generating functions for generating all basis states and also all invariants. As an illustration of our techniques, an algebraic formula for the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients is obtained for the first time. This involves only Gaussian integrations. Thus SU(3) is made as accessible for computations as SU(2) is.

A 'differential measure' is used to cast our calculus for the group SU (3) into a form similar to Schwinger's boson operator calculus for the group SU (2). It is then applied to compute (i) the inner product between the basis states and (ii) an algebraic formula for the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients. These were obtained earlier by us using Gaussian integration techniques.
متن کاملClebsch - Gordan Formulas of the SU ( l , I ) Group
The Clebsch-Gordan formulas for d-function are studied for both nonunitary finite dimensional representation and unitary infinite dimensional representation of the SU (1, 1) group. It is shown that, in addition to the usual Clebsch-Gordan formulas for the above-mentioned two representations, there exists an additional type of Clebsch-Gordan fornmla connecting the nonunitary and unitary d-functi...
متن کاملConstruction of SO(5)⊃ SO(3) spherical harmonics and Clebsch-Gordan coefficients
The SO(5)⊃ SO(3) spherical harmonics form a natural basis for expansion of nuclear collective model angular wave functions. They underlie the recently-proposed algebraic method for diagonalization of the nuclear collective model Hamiltonian in an SU(1, 1)× SO(5) basis. We present a computer code for explicit construction of the SO(5)⊃ SO(3) spherical harmonics and use them to compute the Clebsc...
متن کاملSu(3) Clebsch-gordan Coefficients
The purpose of this paper is to find out a set of general recurrence formulas for the calculus of the SU(3) Clebsch-Gordan coefficients. The first six sections are introductory, presenting the notations and general group theoretical methods applied to SU(3). The following eight sections are devoted to a detailed treatment of the carrier spaces of the irreducible representations and their direct...
متن کاملJordanian Deformation of Su(2) 1 the Jordanian Deformation of Su(2) and Clebsch-gordan Coefficients †
Representation theory for the Jordanian quantum algebra Uh(sl(2)) is developed using a nonlinear relation between its generators and those of sl(2). Closed form expressions are given for the action of the generators of Uh(sl(2)) on the basis vectors of finite dimensional irreducible representations. In the tensor product of two such representations, a new basis is constructed on which the gener...
