Asymptotics of Clebsch-Gordan Coefficients

Mathematical Physics 2015-06-26 v2 Group Theory math.MP

Abstract

Asymptotic expressions for Clebsch-Gordan coefficients are derived from an exact integral representation. Both the classically allowed and forbidden regions are analyzed. Higher-order approximations are calculated. These give, for example, six digit accuracy when the quantum numbers are in the hundreds.
