YoungSymmetrize
​
YoungSymmetrize
[tensor,tableau]
returns the unnormalized Young-symmetrized
tensor
obtained by first symmetrizing over the rows of
tableau
and then antisymmetrizing over its columns.
​
Details and Options
▪
The result equals
n!
d
YoungProject
[
t
,
yt
], where
n
is
TableauSize
[
yt
] and
d
is
TableauDimension
[
yt
].
YoungSymmetrize
is the raw Young operator without the
d/n!
normalization that makes
YoungProject
idempotent.
▪
The rows are symmetrized first (
b
T
), then the columns are antisymmetrized (
a
T
), so that the column antisymmetry of the Young symmetrizer
c
T
=
a
T
b
T
survives in the output.
▪
For a rank-2
tensor
and shape
{2}
,
YoungSymmetrize
returns
t+
(twice the symmetric part); for shape
{1,1}
it returns
t-
(twice the antisymmetric part). The factor of two is exactly the
n!/d
= 2 normalization missing relative to
YoungProject
.
▪
The output is unnormalized: applying
YoungSymmetrize
twice scales the result by an extra factor and is not idempotent. The idempotent operator is
YoungProject
; for explicit irrep projectors use that symbol instead.
▪
The
tensor
rank must equal
TableauSize
[
tableau
]; mismatched ranks issue
YoungSymmetrize::rank
and return
$Failed
. Inputs whose second argument is not a valid
YoungTableau
leave
YoungSymmetrize
unevaluated.
