§34.7(ii) Symmetry

Keywords:: $\mathit{9j}$ symbols, symmetry

See also:: Annotations for §34.7 and Ch.34

The $\mathit{9j}$ symbol has symmetry properties with respect to permutation of columns, permutation of rows, and transposition of rows and columns; these relate 72 independent $\mathit{9j}$ symbols. Even (cyclic) permutations of either columns or rows, as well as transpositions, leave the $\mathit{9j}$ symbol unchanged. Odd permutations of columns or rows introduce a phase factor $(-1)^{R}$ , where $R$ is the sum of all arguments of the $\mathit{9j}$ symbol.

For further symmetry properties of the $\mathit{9j}$ symbol see Edmonds (1974, pp. 102–103) and Varshalovich et al. (1988, §10.4.1).
