U q ( sl 3 ) 3j-symbols for tensor product of symmetric representations
Ayaz Ahmed, P. Ramadevi, Shoaib Akhtar
Abstract
Abstract We propose an algebraic procedure to obtain U q ( sl 3 ) quantum 3j-symbols (quantum Clebsch–Gordan coefficients) appearing in the decomposition of tensor product of symmetric representations. In fact, these symbols will be useful to write the spectral parameter dependent R-matrix elements for any bi-partite vertex model whose edges carry states of the symmetric representations.
