We construct quantum invariants of 3-manifolds based on a $\mathfrak{sl}_3$ matrix dilogarithm proposed by Kashaev. This matrix dilogarithm is an $\mathfrak{sl}_3$ analogue of the (cyclic) quantum dilogarithm used to define Kashaev's…
The matrix elements of unitary $SU_q(3)$ corepresentations, which are analogues of the symmetric powers of the natural repesentation, are shown to be the bivariate $q$-Krawtchouk orthogonal polynomials, thus providing an algebraic…
It is shown that, in the relativistic hydrogenic approximation, expectation values of the type $\langle n\ell j|r^k|n\ell j\rangle$ can be expressed in terms of Clebsch-Gordan coefficients or $3jm$ symbols. This generalizes the results…
We study the tensor product decomposition of the split real quantum group $U_{q\tilde{q}}(sl(2,R))$ from the perspective of finite dimensional representation theory of compact quantum groups. It is known that the class of positive…
This paper initiates the study of invariants of links associated to infinite-dimensional representations of $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ using graphical representation for quantum $6j$-symbols, the shadow world. We obtain formulae for…
The Clebsch-Gordan coefficients of $SU(3)$ are useful in calculations involving baryons and mesons, as well as in calculations involving arbitrary numbers of quarks. For the latter case, one needs the coupling constants between states of…

We report in this article three- and four-term recursion relations for Clebsch-Gordan coefficients of the quantum algebras $U_q(su_2)$ and $U_q(su_{1,1})$. These relations were obtained by exploiting the complementarity of three quantum…
Let $\mathcal{W}_N$ be a quantized Borel subalgebra of $U_q(sl(2,\mc))$, specialized at a primitive root of unity $\omega = \exp(2i\pi/N)$ of odd order $N >1$. One shows that the $6j$-symbols of cyclic representations of $\mathcal{W}_N$ are…
The $6j$-symbols for representations of the $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ quantum group are given by Hahn-Exton $q$-Bessel functions. This interpretation leads to several summation identities for the $q$-Bessel functions. Multivariate $q$-Bessel…
