Wigner-Eckart theorem for tensor operators of Hopf algebras
We prove Wigner-Eckart theorem for the irreducible tensor operators for
arbitrary Hopf algebras, provided that tensor product of their irreducible
representation is completely reducible. The proof is based on the properties of
the irreducible representations of Hopf algebras, in particular on Schur lemma.
Two classes of tensor operators for the Hopf algebra U(su(2)) are
considered. The reduced matrix elements for the class of irreducible tensor
operators are calculated. A construction of some elements of the center of
U(su(2)) is given.Comment: 14 pages, late
