Conjectured Wigner 6j-symbol summation identities
Conjectured Wigner 6j-symbol summation identities
For fixed , let
let , and let be the harmonic number. The conjectured Wigner identities. For all , the four displayed summation identities in the source hold, with the first subject to :
These identities are proposed from recurring numerical patterns in the Ricci-curvature computations and extend standard Wigner summation formulas; the source gives no resolution beyond numerical evidence.
