Abstract
An algorithm is presented for the construction of single- and multi-cluster harmonic oscillator wave functions that are coupled into well-defined irreducible representations ofSU 3 as well as of the symmetric groupS N . The single-cluster harmonic oscillatorSU 3 wave functions are constructed recursively, using theSU 3 coefficients of fractional parentage. To construct multi-cluster wave functions with a well-defined permutational symmetry we diagonalize an appropriate set of single-cycle class operators of the symmetric group involving all the constituent particles. The formalism is applicable to the study of multi-cluster systems in nuclear physics where the wave functions are expressed in terms of harmonic oscillatorSU 3 states
