Abstract
The relation between a state of U(n) associated with an m-rowed Young diagram, m ≤ n, and a state of U(m) associated with an m-rowed Young diagram provides the basis for the symmetric state of U(mn)⊃U(m)⊗U(n). As an application, the state vectors associated with the irreducible representations of SU(6) restricted to the subgroup SU(3)⊗SU(2) are explicitly constructed for the symmetric representation, and generalized to the case of a 2-rowed Young diagram. Expressions are given for the degeneracy of an SU(3)⊗SU(2) state in SU(6), and the completeness of the obtained set of states is discussed. The direct product of symmetric SU(6)⊃SU(3)⊗SU(2) states implies a direct product of SU(3) states; the operator which breaks the degeneracy of the ``2-rowed'' SU(6)⊃SU(3)⊗SU(2) state is shown to be Moshinsky's operator X which breaks the degeneracy of the SU(3) direct product.
