Abstract

We prove an identity (equation (1) below) among SU(2) 6j and 9j symbols that generalizes the Biedenharn-Elliott sum rule. We prove the result using diagrammatic techniques (briefly reviewed here), and then provide an algebraic proof. This identity is useful for studying meson-baryon scattering in which an extra isoscalar meson is produced.
