Motivated by recent results in multiphoton interferometry, we expand a result of Kostant on immanants of an arbitrary m × m unitary matrix T ∈ SU ( m ) ?> to the submatrices of T. Specifically, we show that immanants of principal submatrices of a unitary matrix T are a sum ∑ t D tt ( λ ) ( &OHgr; ) ?> of the diagonal D-functions of group element Ω, with t determined by the choice of submatrix, and the irrep (λ) determined by the immanant under consideration. We also provide evidence that this…

A graph-theoretic algorithm is devised to construct the boson realizations of the canonical SU(n) basis states, which reduce the canonical subgroup chain, for arbitrary n, and demonstrates that the D-function algorithm offers significant advantage over the two competing procedures, namely, factorization and exponentiation.
