The identity is obtained from an integral involving Gegenbauer ultraspherical polynomials. A similar procedure can be applied for other types of integrals of such polynomials, and may therefore lead to the derivation of further new relations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-04-20T21:30:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "clebsch-gordan coefficients", "sum rule", "rotation group", "generalized characters", "irreducible representations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
