Analytic expressions for the Clebsch-Gordan (CG) coefficients of the SO(5) group that involve the 14-dimensional representation can be found in an old paper of M. K. F. Wong. A careful analysis yields that roughly 30% of the coefficients…

When modeling physical properties of molecules with machine learning, it is desirable to incorporate $SO(3)$-covariance. While such models based on low body order features are not complete, we formulate and prove general completeness…
Spherical harmonics (SH) have been extensively used as a basis for analyzing the morphology of particles in granular mechanics. The use of SH is facilitated by mapping the particle coordinates onto a unit sphere, in practice often a…
Clebsch-Gordan coefficients of SU(2) and SU(1,1) are defined as eigenfunctions of a linear operator acting on the tensor product of the Hilbert spaces for two irreps of these groups. The shifted harmonic approximation is then used to solve…
