Summary
The representations ofF 4 are discussed and the decompositions of some representations in the reductionsSO 26 →F 4 →SO 9 are tabulated. The decompositions of some inner products ofF 4 are also tabulated. A general method of constructing operator bases for representations of larger groups is given. Using this method, operators corresponding to the generators ofF 4 acting on the representation (1000) are constructed. This method also generates relations between 6-j symbols and some examples are given.
Riassunto
Si discutono le rappresentazioni diF 4 e si tabulano le decomposizioni di alcune rappresentazioni nelle riduzioniSO 26 →F 4 →SO 9. Si tabulano anche le decomposizioni di alcuni prodotti interni diF 4. Si dà un metodo generale per costruire basi di operatori per rappresentazioni di gruppi maggiori. Usando questo metodo si costruiscono operatori corrispondenti ai generatori diF 4 agenti sulla rappresentazione (1000). Con questo metodo si generano anche relazioni fra i simboli 6-j; si forniscono alcuni esempi.
Реэюме
Обсуждаются представленияF 4, и табулируются раэложения некоторых представлений в преобраэованияхSO 26 →F 4 →SO 9. Также табулируются раэложения некоторых внутренних проиэведений группыF 4. Приводится обший метод конструирования операторных баэисов для представлений больщих груии. Испольэуя зтот метод, конструируются операторы, соответствуюшие генераторамF 4, действуюшим на представление (1000). Этот метод также обраэует соотнощение между 6-j символами, и приводятся некоторые примеры.
