A general procedure for the derivation of SU(3)supset U(2) reduced Wigner coefficients for the coupling (lambda_{1}mu_{1})times (lambda_{2}mu_{2})downarrow (lambdamu)^{eta}, where eta is the outer multiplicity label needed in the decomposition, is proposed based on a recoupling approach according to the complementary group technique given in (I). It is proved that the non-multiplicity-free reduced Wigner coefficients of SU(n) are not unique with respect to canonical outer multiplicity labels, and can be transformed from one set of outer multiplicity labels to another. The transformation matrices are elements of SO(m), where m is the number of occurrence of the corresponding irrep (lambdamu) in the decomposition (lambda_{1}mu_{1})times (lambda_{2}mu_{2})downarrow (lambdamu). Thus, a kind of the reduced Wigner coefficients with multiplicity is obtained after a special SO(m) transformation. New features of this kind of reduced Wigner coefficients and the differences from the reduced Wigner coefficients with other choice of the multiplicity label given previously are discussed. The method can also be applied to the derivation of general SU(n) Wigner or reduced Wigner coefficients with multiplicity. Algebraic expression of another kind of reduced Wigner coefficients, the so-called reduced auxiliary Wigner coefficients for SU(3)supset U(2), are also obtained.
A complementary group to SU(n) is found that realizes all features of the Littlewood rule for Kronecker products of SU(n) representations. This is accomplished by considering a state of SU(n) to be a special Gelfand state of the complementary group {cal U}(2n-2). The labels of {cal U}(2n-2) can be used as the outer multiplicity labels needed to distinguish multiple occurrences of irreducible representations (irreps) in the SU(n)times SU(n)downarrow SU(n) decomposition that is obtained from the Littlewood rule. Furthermore, this realization can be used to determine SU(n)supset SU(n-1)times U(1) Reduced Wigner Coefficients (RWCs) and Clebsch-Gordan Coefficients (CGCs) of SU(n), using algebraic or numeric methods, in either the canonical or a noncanonical basis. The method is recursive in that it uses simpler RWCs or CGCs with one symmetric irrep in conjunction with standard recoupling procedures. New explicit formulae for the multiplicity for SU(3) and SU(4) are used to illustrate the theory.
We study the left-right asymmetric model based on SU(3)_C otimes SU(2)_L otimes SU(3)_R otimes U(1)_X gauge group, which improves the theoretical and phenomenological aspects of the known left-right symmetric model. This new gauge symmetry yields that the fermion generation number is three, and the tree-level flavor-changing neutral currents arise in both gauge and scalar sectors. Also, it can provide the observed neutrino masses as well as dark matter automatically. Further, we investigate the mass spectrum of the gauge and scalar fields. All the gauge interactions of the fermions and scalars are derived. We examine the tree-level contributions of the new neutral vector, Z_R, and new neutral scalar, H_2, to flavor-violating neutral meson mixings, say K-bar{K}, B_d-bar{B}_d, and B_s-bar{B}_s, which strongly constrain the new physics scale as well as the elements of the right-handed quark mixing matrices. The bounds for the new physics scale are in agreement with those coming from the rho-parameter as well as the mixing parameters between W, Z bosons and new gauge bosons.
A scheme to perform the Cartan decomposition for the Lie algebra su(N) of arbitrary finite dimensions is introduced. The schme is based on two algebraic structures, the conjugate partition and the quotient algebra, that are easily generated by a Cartan subalgebra and generally exist in su(N). In particular, the Lie algebras su(2^p) and every su(2^{p-1} < N < 2^p) share the isomorphic structure of the quotient algebra. This structure enables an efficient algorithm for the recursive and exhaustive construction of Cartan decompositions. Further with the scheme, a unitary transformation in SU(N) can be recursively decomposed into a product of certain designated operators, e.g., local and nonlocal gates. Such a recursive decomposition of a transformation implies an evolution path on the manifold of the group.
The models with the gauge group $SU(3)_ctimes SU(3)_L times U(1)_X$ (331-models) have been advocated to explain why there are three fermion generations in Nature. As such they can provide partial understanding of the flavour sector. The hierarchy of Yukawa-couplings in the Standard Model is another puzzle which remains without compelling explanation. We propose to use Froggatt-Nielsen -mechanism in a 331-model to explain both fundamental problems. It turns out that no additional representations in the scalar sector are needed to take care of this. The traditional 331-models predict scalar flavour changing neutral currents at tree-level. We show that they are strongly suppressed in our model.
We present an algorithm for the explicit numerical calculation of SU(N) and SL(N,C) Clebsch-Gordan coefficients, based on the Gelfand-Tsetlin pattern calculus. Our algorithm is well-suited for numerical implementation; we include a computer code in an appendix. Our exposition presumes only familiarity with the representation theory of SU(2).
