Representations of U(3) in U(N)

Abstract
An interactive FORTRAN code for determining the representations of U(3) that occur in a representation of U(N) is introduced. The U(N)→U(3) chain is the basic group structure of the isotropic oscillator in three dimensions. In particular, N = (n+1)(n+2)/2 is the degeneracy of the shell with n quanta per level. Since the oscillator potential is a good starting approximation for the self-consistent field that binds nucleons in the nucleus, motivation for the work comes from nuclear physics, and...

Title of program: UNTOU3
Catalogue Id: ABLJ_v1_0

Nature of problem
U(N) -> U(3) plethysm, that is, finding the complete set of irreducible representations (irreps) of U(3) in specific irreps of U(N) where N=(n+1) (n+2)/2 for nonnegative integer n values.
