Abstract

Wigner coefficients of the three-dimensional rotation group can be brought into the form of Thomae-Whipple functions. The symmetry group of order 72, discovered by Regge, is a straightforward consequence of 6 forms of the 120 Thomae-Whipple functions. The question whether the remaining 114 forms of these functions lead to new symmetries is investigated. It is shown that if the Regge group is enlarged by the transformationsj→−j−1, a group or order 1440 is obtained, which is exactly the group generated by the interrelations between the 120 Thomae-Whipple functions.

Резюме

Коэффициенты Вигнера можно привести к виду функций Томе-Биппла. Наличне группы симметрий порядка 72, обнаруженной Редже, является непосредственным следствием шести разных видов 120 функций Томе-Виппла. Рассмотрен вопвос о том, приводят ли остальные 114 видов этих функпий к новым свойствам симметрий коэффициентов Редже. Показано, что если группа порядка 1440, которая производится с помощью соотношений между 120 функциями Томе-Виппла.
