Show affiliationsThe 6-j symbols of a group are independent of the subgroup chain chosen to define the basis states. The authors present an improved algorithm for calculating the primitive 6-j symbols for a compact group with a faithful irrep by recursive building up using only the Kronecker product rules and the general properties of 6-j. Previously one has sometimes needed to search for the useful equations by systematically trying all equations which involve unknown 6-j. The authors show that the primitive 6-j may all be easily solved in terms of a subclass, the core 6-j. They discuss how the core 6-j can usually be solved, proving that the method is complete for SO3. The authors conjecture that the algorithm is complete for all groups.
