Abstract

Obtaining eigenvalues of permutations acting on the product space of NN representations of SU(nn) usually involves either diagonalising their representation matrices on total-weight subspaces or decomposing their characters, which can be obtained from Frobenius' formula or via graphical methods using Young tableaux. For products of fundamental representations of SU(nn), Schuricht and one of us proposed the method of extended Young Tableaux, which allows reading the eigenvalues of the cyclic permutation CNC_N directly off the, slightly modified, standard Young tableaux labelling an irreducible SU(nn) representation. Here we generalise the method to all symmetric representations of SU(nn), and show that CNC_N eigenvalue computation based on extended Young tableaux is at least linearly faster than the standard methods mentioned.
