In mathematical physics, Clebsch–Gordan coefficients are the expansion coefficients of total angular momentum eigenstates in an uncoupled tensor product basis. Mathematically, they specify the decomposition of the tensor product of two irreducible representations into a direct sum of irreducible representations, where the type and the multiplicities of these irreducible representations are known abstractly. The name derives from the German mathematicians Alfred Clebsch (1833–1872) and Paul Gordan (1837–1912), who encountered an equivalent problem in invariant theory. Generalization to SU(3) of Clebsch–Gordan coefficients is useful because of their utility in characterizing hadronic decays, where a flavor-SU(3) symmetry exists (the Eightfold Way (physics)) that connects the three light quarks: up, down, and strange. ==Groups== (詳細はbinary operation ( *) (often called a 'multiplication'), satisfying the following properties: # Closure: For every pair of elements and in , the ''product'' is also in ( in symbols, for every two elements is also in # Associativity: For every and and in , both and result with the same element in ( in symbols, for every , and ). # Existence of identity: There must be an element ( say ) in such that product any element of with make no change to the element ( in symbols, for every ). # Existence of inverse: For each element ( ) in , there must be an element in such that product of and is the identity element ( in symbols, for each there is a such that for every;). # Commutative: In addition to the above four, if it so happens that , , then the group is called an Abelian Group. Otherwise it is called a non-Abelian group. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clebsch–Gordan coefficients for SU(3)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
