Structure of the 12j and 15j coefficients in the Bargmann approach

  • 1. Univ. of Michigan, Ann Arbor

Description

Generating functions of the 12j and 15j angular momentum recoupling coefficients are computed explicitly in the Bargmann formalism. Symmetry properties are deduced therefrom. A geometrical Möbius strip representation (originally due to Ord-Smith for the 12j case), which can be generalized to all n, suggests a 4n-fold symmetry for the 3nj coefficients (n ≥ 4).
