Abstract
It is shown that the method of infinitesimal generators (“Racah’s method”) can be broadly and systematically formulated as a method applicable to the calculation of reduced coupling coefficients for a generic subalgebra chain G⊃H, provided the reduced matrix elements of the generators of G and the recoupling coefficients of H are known. The calculation of SO(5)⊃SO(4) reduced coupling coefficients is considered as an example, and a procedure for transformation of reduced coupling coefficients between canonical and physical subalegebra chains is presented. The problem of calculating coupling coefficients for generic irreps of SO(5), reduced with respect to any of its subalgebra chains, is completely resolved by this approach.
