  1. Los Alamos National Lab., NM (United States). Theoretical Div.

The boson operator theory of the representations of the unitary group, its Wigner-Clebsch-Gordan, and Racah coefficients is reformulated in terms of the ring of polynomials in any number of indeterminates with the goal of bringing the theory, as nearly as possible, under the purview of combinatorial oriented concepts. Four of the basic relations in unitary group theory are interpreted from this viewpoint.
