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 Gellmann 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 Gellmann matrices in the usual order*)
(* up to a factor of 2 *)
MatrixRepSU3[{1,0}]

(* the following returns the trivial representation *)
MatrixRepSU2[{0,0}]
