9-j symbol

In physics, Wigner's 9-j symbols were introduced by Eugene Wigner in 1937. They are related to recoupling coefficients in quantum mechanics involving four angular momenta:

${\displaystyle {\sqrt {(2j_{3}+1)(2j_{6}+1)(2j_{7}+1)(2j_{8}+1)}}{\begin{Bmatrix}j_{1}&j_{2}&j_{3}\\j_{4}&j_{5}&j_{6}\\j_{7}&j_{8}&j_{9}\end{Bmatrix}}}$ ${\displaystyle =\langle ((j_{1}j_{2})j_{3},(j_{4}j_{5})j_{6})j_{9}|((j_{1}j_{4})j_{7},(j_{2}j_{5})j_{8})j_{9}\rangle .}$
