Abstract

We develop further properties of the matrices M(m,n,k)M(m, n, k) defined by the author and W. G. Kim in a previous work. In particular, we continue an alternative approach to the theory of Clebsch-Gordan coefficients in terms of combinatorics and convex geometry. New features include a censorship rule for zeros, a sequence of 36-pointed stars of zeros, and another proof of Dixon's Identity. As a major application, we reinterpret the work of Raynal {\it et al.} on vanishing Clebsch-Gordan coefficients as a "middle-out" approach to computing M(m,n,k).M(m, n, k).
