MatrixRepSU3

MatrixRepSU3 returns a specific matrix representation of the group SU(3) with highest weight as given via non-optional argument, e.g. for {1,0} it will return the Gell-Mann matrices. The method returns a List of eight matrices.

This method admits no options.

Arguments

MatrixRepSU3 has the following (non-optional) arguments:

Argument	Description
hightest_weight	The input argument is the highest weight of the desired matrix SU(3) representation. It is represented as List of two integers.

Example

<< BProbeM`

(* The following method returns a 3-dimensional representation, *)
(* namely a list of Gell-Mann matrices in the usual order*)
(* up to a factor of 2. *)
MatrixRepSU3[{1,0}]

(* The following returns the trivial representation. *)
MatrixRepSU3[{0,0}]
