Abstract

This paper analyses the contradictions which would appear when one applies the traditional theory of group repesentation to gf-the permutation group on state indicies. It is pointed out that when repeated state indicies occur, the permutation operator of gf will become undefined. According to [1], we generalise naturally the concepts of the irreducible bases for such case and give a unambiguous definition of the so called quasi-standard bases of group gf. Futhermore we have proved that the quasi-standard bases of group gf are just the Gelfand bases of group SUn. Hence the eigenfunction methodcan also be used to calculate the Gelfand bases of group SUn.
