Algebraic geometers

Alfred Clebsch

Rudolf Friedrich Alfred Clebsch (19 January 1833 – 7 November 1872) was a German mathematician who made important contributions to algebraic geometry and invariant theory. He attended the University of Königsberg and was habilitated at Berlin. He subsequently taught in Berlin and Karlsruhe. His collaboration with Paul Gordan in Giessen led to the introduction of Clebsch–Gordan coefficients for spherical harmonics, which are now widely used in quantum mechanics. Together with Carl Neumann at Göttingen, he founded the mathematical research journal Mathematische Annalen in 1868. In 1883 Saint-Venant translated Clebsch's work on elasticity into French and published it as Théorie de l'élasticité des Corps Solides. (Wikipedia).

Clebsch–Gordan Coefficients Explained

In this video, we will talk about Clebsch-Gordan coefficients. We'll discuss their definition, and explain how to use them. Clebsch-Gordan coefficients are named after the German mathematicians Alfred Clebsch and Paul Gordan. The coefficients are defined like this: Clebsch-Gordan coeffici

Condon-Shortley Phase Convention | Clebsch-Gordan Gets Real

In this video, we will explain the Condon-Shortley phase convention. This is a widely used set of two statements, which together lead to the conclusion that all Clebsch-Gordan coefficients are purely real numbers. It's named after the US physicists Edward Condon and George Shortley, who in

Deriving Clebsch–Gordan Coefficients | Angular Momentum in Quantum Mechanics

In this video, we will show you how to explicitly calculate the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients for the simple case of two spin-1/2 particles. Note, that this is purely for fun, or educational purposes, since for a real calculation, you should always look up the relevant coefficient in a table

Wigner–Eckart Theorem | Clebsch-Gordan & Spherical Tensor Operators

In this video, we will explain the Wigner-Eckart theorem in theory and then explicitly show how to use it to solve a problem. This theorem is closely related to Clebsch-Gordan coefficients and spherical tensor operators. 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀: [1] Particle Data Group, "The Review of Particle Phy
