Clebsch-Gordan coefficients
The Clebsch-Gordan coefficients are defined by
- Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml. Server problem."): {\displaystyle \Psi _{JM}=\sum _{M=M_{1}+M_{2}}C_{M_{1}M_{2}}^{J}\Psi _{M_{1}M_{2}},}
where Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml.

The Clebsch-Gordan coefficients are sometimes expressed using the related Racah V-coefficients, (See also the Racah W-coefficients, sometimes simply called the Racah coefficients).
