We find generalized Jack polynomials for the group $SU(3)$ and verify that their Selberg averages for several first levels are given by Nekrasov functions. To compute the averages we derive recurrence relations for the $sl_3$ Selberg…
After 100 years of effort, the classification of all the finite subgroups of SU(3) is yet incomplete. The most recently updated list can be found in P.O. Ludl, J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 44 255204 (2011), where the structure of the series (C)…
The SO(5)>SO(3) spherical harmonics form a natural basis for expansion of nuclear collective model angular wave functions. They underlie the recently-proposed algebraic method for diagonalization of the nuclear collective model Hamiltonian…
We express each Clebsch-Gordan (CG) coefficient of a discrete group as a product of a CG coefficient of its subgroup and a factor, which we call an embedding factor. With an appropriate definition, such factors are fixed up to phase…
Induced representations of Brauer algebra $D_{f}(n)$ from $S_{f_{1}}\times S_{f_{2}}$ with $f_{1}+f_{2}=f$ are discussed. The induction coefficients (IDCs) or the outer-product reduction coefficients (ORCs) of $S_{f_{1}}\times…
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…
We study representations of $U_q(su(1,1))$ that can be considered as quantum analogs of tensor products of irreducible *-representations of the Lie algebra $su(1,1)$. We determine the decomposition of these representations into irreducible…

These notes give an elementary introduction to Lie groups, Lie algebras, and their representations. Designed to be accessible to graduate students in mathematics or physics, they have a minimum of prerequisites. Topics include definitions…
Given a semi-simple algebra equipped with a coproduct, the Clebsch--Gordan coefficients are the elements of the transition matrices between direct product representation and its irreducible decomposition. It is well known that the…
The rotations, boosts, and translations in an N^2-dimensional spacetime are shown to be related to the fundamental commutators, anticommutators, and Clebsch-Gordan coefficients, respectively, of SU(N).
We have computed the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients for the product (000001) $\otimes$ (000001), where (000001) is the adjoint 78-dimensional representation of $E_6$. The results are presented for the dominant weights of the irreducible…
