9-j Symbol - Reduction To 6j Symbols

Reduction To 6j Symbols

The 9j symbols can be calculated as sums over triple-products of 6j symbols where the summation extends over all x admitted by the triangle conditions in the factors:

\begin{Bmatrix} j_1 & j_2 & j_3\\ j_4 & j_5 & j_6 \\ j_7 & j_8 & j_9 \end{Bmatrix} = \sum_x (-1)^{2x}(2x+1) \begin{Bmatrix} j_1 & j_4 & j_7\\ j_8 & j_9 & x \end{Bmatrix} \begin{Bmatrix} j_2 & j_5 & j_8\\ j_4 & x & j_6 \end{Bmatrix} \begin{Bmatrix} j_3 & j_6 & j_9\\ x & j_1 & j_2 \end{Bmatrix} .

Famous quotes containing the words reduction and/or symbols:

    “The reduction of nuclear arsenals and the removal of the threat of worldwide nuclear destruction is a measure, in my judgment, of the power and strength of a great nation.”
    —Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)

    “If the Americans, in addition to the eagle and the Stars and Stripes and the more unofficial symbols of bison, moose and Indian, should ever need another emblem, one which is friendly and pleasant, then I think they should choose the grapefruit. Or rather the half grapefruit, for this fruit only comes in halves, I believe. Practically speaking, it is always yellow, always just as fresh and well served. And it always comes at the same, still hopeful hour of the morning.”
    —Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
