This essay describes the development of groups used for the specification of symmetries from ordinary and magnetic point groups to Fedorov and magnetic space groups, as well as other varieties of groups useful in the study of symmetric objects. In particular, we consider the problem of some incorrectness in Vol. A of the International Tables for Crystallography. Some results of tensor calculus ...

We define a set of orthogonal functions on the complex projective space CPN−1, and compute their Clebsch-Gordan coefficients as well as a large class of 6–j symbols. We also provide all the needed formulae for the generation of high-temperature expansions for U(N)-invariant spin models defined on CPN−1.

We generalize a construction of Dunkl, obtaining a wide class intertwining functions on the symmetric group and a related family of multidimensional Hahn polynomials. Following a suggestion of Vilenkin and Klymik, we develop a tree-method approach for those intertwining functions. We also give a group theoretic proof of the relation between Hahn polynomials and Clebesh-Gordan coefficients, give...

In this paper, I give the English progressive a semantic analysis as an intensional operator within the framework of modal semantics proposed by Kratzer. This treatment allows a combination of the central idea of Dowty’s influential analysis, that the progressive’s meaning has a major modal component, with the insights of other scholars (Parsons, Vlach, and Landman). My claim is that using a mo...

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.

The zero distribution of orthogonal polynomials pn,N , n = 0, 1, . . . generated by recurrence coefficients an,N and bn,N depending on a parameter N has been recently considered by Kuijlaars and Van Assche under the assumption that an,N and bn,N behave like a(n/N) and b(n/N), respectively, where a(·) and b(·) are continuous functions. Here, we extend this result by allowing a(·) and b(·) to be ...

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...

We identify “spurious” states in meson-baryon scattering, those that appear in QCD for Nc > 3 but decouple for Nc = 3. The key observation is that the relevant flavor SU(3) Clebsch-Gordan coefficients contain factors of 1−3/Nc. We show that this method works even if SU(3) is badly broken. We also observe that resonant scattering poles lying outside naive quark model multiplets are not necessari...
