Representations of the quantum superalgebra U q [osp(1/2)] and their relations to the basic hypergeometric functions are investigated. We first establish Clebsch-Gordan decomposition for the superalgebra U q [osp(1/2)] in which the representations having no classical counterparts are incorporated. Formulae for these Clebsch-Gordan coefficients are derived, and it is observed that they may be ex...

Addition theorems for vector spherical harmonics require the determination of the Gaunt coefficients that appear in a linearization expansion of the product of two associated Legendre functions. This paper presents an algorithm for the efficient calculation of these coefficients through solving the most appropriate (lower triangular) linear system and derives all relevant recurrence relations n...

We present a supersymmetric model of fermion masses with SU(4)×SU(2)2×U(1)X gauge group with matter in fundamental and antisymmetric tensor representations only. The up, down, charged lepton and neutrino Yukawa matrices are distinguished by different Clebsch-Gordan coefficients due to contracting over SU(4) and SU(2)R indices. We obtain a hierarchical light neutrino mass spectrum with bi-large ...

We propose an alternative for the Clebsch decomposition of currents in fluid mechanics, in terms of complex potentials taking values in a Kähler manifold. We reformulate classical relativistic fluid mechanics in terms of these complex potentials and rederive the existence of an infinite set of conserved currents. We perform a canonical analysis to find the explicit form of the algebra of conser...

A summary of the properties of the Wigner Clebsch-Gordan coefficients and isoscalar factors for the group SU3 in the SU2⊗U1 decomposition is presented. The outer degeneracy problem is discussed in detail with a proof of a conjecture (Braunschweig's) which has been the basis of previous work on the SU3 coupling coefficients. Recursion relations obeyed by the SU3 isoscalar factors are produced, a...

If R, S, T are irreducible SL3(C)-representations, we give an easy and explicit description of a basis of the space of equivariant maps R⊗S → T (Theorem 3.1). We apply this method to the rationality problem for invariant function fields. In particular, we prove the rationality of the moduli space of plane curves of degree 34. This uses a criterion which ensures the stable rationality of some qu...

This article deals with a quantum-mechanical system which generalizes the ordinary isotropic harmonic oscillator system. We give the coefficients connecting the polar and Cartesian bases for D = 2 and the coefficients connecting the Cartesian and cylindrical bases as well as the cylindrical and spherical bases for D = 3. These interbasis expansion coefficients are found to be analytic continuat...

In this article we investigate the structure of a twisted cohomology group of the first homology of a trivalent graph with a coefficient associated with its quantum Clebsch-Gordan condition. By using this investigation we shall show the existence of the external edge cocycles defined in [3] and a finite algorithm to construct such cocycles. Such cocycles are used for a combinatorial realization...

Professor Ebrahim (Abe) Mamdani died on January 22, 2010. He was born in Tanzania in June 1942 and educated in India, he went to UK in 1966. After obtaining his PhD at Queen Mary College, University of London, he joined its Electrical Engineering Department, where he developed the first fuzzy controller. In the mid-eighties he moved to Imperial College, where he was now an Emeritus Professor. I...
