Special Case

When the 9-j symbol is proportional to a 6-j symbol:

 \begin{Bmatrix} j_1 & j_2 & j_3\\ j_4 & j_5 & j_6\\ j_7 & j_8 & 0 \end{Bmatrix} = \frac{\delta_{j_3,j_6} \delta_{j_7,j_8}}{\sqrt{(2j_3+1)(2j_7+1)}} (-1)^{j_2+j_3+j_4+j_7} \begin{Bmatrix} j_1 & j_2 & j_3\\ j_5 & j_4 & j_7 \end{Bmatrix}.

Famous quotes containing the words special and/or case:

    ... there has been a very special man in my life for the past year. All I’ll say about him is that he’s kind, warm, mature, someone I can trust—and he’s not a politician.
    Donna Rice (b. c. 1962)

    The woods were as fresh and full of vegetable life as a lichen in wet weather, and contained many interesting plants; but unless they are of white pine, they are treated with as little respect here as a mildew, and in the other case they are only the more quickly cut down.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
