Harmonic oscillator SU[sub 3] states with arbitrary permutational symmetry

Many-particle harmonic oscillator states that belong to a given SU[sub 3] irreducible representation and are at the same time characterized by a Yamanouchi symbol specifying their permutational symmetry, are constructed recursively, using the SU[sub 3] coefficients of fractional parentage. These coefficients are the eigenvectors of the two-cycle class operators of the symmetric group in the appropriate basis. In the recursion procedure only the matrix element of the transposition of the last two particles has to be calculated in each step. This matrix element is obtained by using the SU[sub 3] Racah coefficients. The significance of this procedure for nuclear physics as well for quark calculations is briefly pointed out. 20 refs.
