Description for The Classical and Quantum 6j-symbols. (MN-43), Volume 43
Paperback. Addressing physicists and mathematicians alike, this book discusses the finite dimensional representation theory of sl(2), both classical and quantum. Covering representations of U(sl(2)), quantum sl(2), the quantum trace and color representations, and the Turaev-Viro invariant, it is useful to graduate students and professionals. Series: Mathematical Notes. Num Pages: 176 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PBW; PHQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 229 x 152 x 11. Weight in Grams: 257.
Addressing physicists and mathematicians alike, this book discusses the finite dimensional representation theory of sl(2), both classical and quantum. Covering representations of U(sl(2)), quantum sl(2), the quantum trace and color representations, and the Turaev-Viro invariant, this work is useful to graduate students and professionals. The classic subject of representations of U(sl(2)) is equivalent to the physicists' theory of quantum angular momentum. This material is developed in an elementary way using spin-networks and the Temperley-Lieb algebra to organize computations that have posed difficulties in earlier treatments of the subject. The emphasis is on the 6j-symbols and the identities among them, especially ... Read more

Reviews for The Classical and Quantum 6j-symbols. (MN-43), Volume 43
"Overall this book would serve as an excellent introduction for students or mathematicians to any of the subjects included (representation theory of U(sl2) and Uq(sl2), Penrose/Kauffman style diagrammatics, Turaev-Viro theory)... "
