The super‐rotation Racah–Wigner calculus revisited

It is shown that, since the finite dimensional representations of the super‐rotation algebra are characterized by the superspin j and the parity λ of the representation space, all features of the Racah–Wigner calculus: Clebsch–Gordan coefficients, recoupling coefficients as well as the Wigner and Ra...

Zusammenfassung:It is shown that, since the finite dimensional representations of the super‐rotation algebra are characterized by the superspin j and the parity λ of the representation space, all features of the Racah–Wigner calculus: Clebsch–Gordan coefficients, recoupling coefficients as well as the Wigner and Racah symbols depend on both j and λ. However, it is noticed that the dependence on the parities of the Wigner and Racah symbols can be factorized out into phases so that one can define parity‐independent super S3−j and S6−j symbols. The properties of these symbols are analyzed, in particular, it is shown that the S6−j symbols possess a symmetry similar to the Regge symmetry satisfied by the rotation 6−j symbols. Analytical and numerical tables of the symbols are given for the lowest values of their arguments.
