Calculation of Clebsch--Gordan and Racah coefficients using symbolic manipulation programs

Journal Article · · J. Comput. Phys.; (United States)

A procedure for calculating Clebsch--Gordan and Racah coefficients arising from the decomposition of n-fold tensor products of the U(N) groups using symbolic manipulation programs is given. Basic states are realized as polynomials in a space equipped with a differentiation inner product. The desired coefficients are then obtained by differentiating the relevant polynomials. Examples from SU(2) and SU(3) are given. copyright 1989 Academic Press, Inc.
