The matrix elements of operators transforming as irreducible representations of an unbroken symmetry group G are governed by the well-known Wigner–Eckart relations. In the case of infinite-dimensional systems, with G spontaneously broken, we prove that the corrections to such relations are provided by symmetry breaking Ward identities, and simply reduce to a tadpole term involving Goldstone bosons. The analysis extends to the case in which an explicit symmetry breaking term is present in the Hamiltonian, with the tadpole term now involving pseudo Goldstone bosons. An explicit example is discussed, illustrating the two cases.


The formulae of Redmond are used to construct expressions for the fractional parentage coefficients relating the configurations l 3 and l 2 . The explicit occurrence of godparent states is avoided for the quartet states of f 3 and also for a sequence of doublet states. The latter are defined by the set of quantum numbers f 3 WUSLJJ 2 , where W and U are irreducible representations of the groups R 7 and G 2 . Matrix elements of the type ( f 3 WUSL || U k || f 3 W'U'SL' ), where U k is the sum of the three irreducible tensor operators u k corresponding to the three f electrons, are tabulated for k = 2, 4 and 6 and for all values of W, U, S and L .

A unified approach to the representations of groups SU(2) and SU(1, 1) is made. The method is based on the observation that SU(2) and SU(1, 1) can be considered as special cases of a group G(a). The representation of G(a) is realized in the space of homogeneous generalized functions. The canonical bases of the unitary irreducible representations are constructed explicitly. The matrix elements for the finite transformation are found. Explicit expressions for the Wigner coefficients are also obtained.

AbstractExplicit formulae are given for calculating the matrix elements of the irreducible representations of the three-dimensional pure rotation group by the direct method. In addition explicit formulae are derived to calculate the representations of the finite elements of any group when the eigenvalues of the matrix representing the corresponding infinitesimal elements are given.

The so-called Gell–Mann or decontraction formula is proposed as an algebraic expression inverse to the Inönü–Wigner Lie algebra contraction. It is tailored to express the Lie algebra elements in terms of the corresponding contracted ones. In the case of sl (n,ℝ) and su (n) algebras, contracted w.r.t. so (n) subalgebras, this formula is generally not valid, and applies only in the cases of some algebra representations. A generalization of the Gell–Mann formula for sl (n,ℝ) and su (n) algebras, that is valid for all tensorial, spinorial, (non)unitary representations, is obtained in a group manifold framework of the SO(n) and/or Spin (n) group. The generalized formula is simple, concise and of ample application potentiality. The matrix elements of the [Formula: see text], i.e. SU(n)/SO(n), generators are determined, by making use of the generalized formula, in a closed form for all irreducible representations.

AbstractWe introduce a new approach to find the Tomita–Takesaki modular flow for multi-component regions in general chiral conformal field theory. Our method is based on locality and analyticity of primary fields as well as the so-called Kubo–Martin–Schwinger (KMS) condition. These features can be used to transform the problem to a Riemann–Hilbert problem on a covering of the complex plane cut along the regions, which is equivalent to an integral equation for the matrix elements of the modular Hamiltonian. Examples are considered.

AbstractWe present general analytical expressions for the matrix elements of the atom–diatom interaction potential, expanded in terms of Legendre polynomials, in a basis set of products of two spherical harmonics, especially significant to the recently developed adiabatic variational theory for cold molecular collision experiments [J. Chem. Phys. 143, 074114 (2015); J. Phys. Chem. A 121, 2194 (2017)]. We used two approaches in our studies. The first involves the evaluation of the integral containing trigonometric functions with arbitrary powers. The second approach is based on the theorem of addition of spherical harmonics.
