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.)

    “The use of symbols has a certain power of emancipation and exhilaration for all men. We seem to be touched by a wand, which makes us dance and run about happily, like children. We are like persons who come out of a cave or cellar into the open air. This is the effect on us of tropes, fables, oracles, and all poetic forms. Poets are thus liberating gods.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
