Zur Berechnung der Clebsch-Gordan-Koeffizienten halbeinfacher Liescher Gruppen. I: Ein allgemeines Verfahren; Anwendung auf die Gruppe SU(2). (On the calculation of Clebsch-Gordan coefficients of semisimple Lie groups. I: A general method; application to the group SU(2)) (Q1821886)

An approach to the explicit calculation of the Clebsch-Gordan (CG) coefficients in the theory of semisimple Lie groups based on the known Gel'fand-Zeitlin results is developed. As an example the simplest case of SU(2) CG-coefficients is described in detail. Some general rules which permit to extend the described procedure on the general case of SU(n) groups are briefly discussed. It is noted that the computation of SU(3) CG-coefficients is realized by a computer programm written in REDUCE, in the framework of the proposed approach.
