The author wrote a monograph 20 years ago on the construction of
spin eigen functions; the monograph was published by Plenum. The
aim of that mono graph was to present all aspects connected with
the construction of spin eigen functions and its relation to the
use of many-electron antisymmetric wavefunc tions. The present book
is an introduction to these subjects, with an emphasis on the
practical side. After the theoretical treatment, there will be many
exam ples and exercises which will illustrate the different
methods. The theory of the symmetric group and its representations
generated by the different spin eigen functions is an other
subject, this is closely related to the quantum chemical
applications. Finally we will survey the calculation of the matrix
elements of the Hamiltonian, using the different constructions of
the spin functions. The closing chapter will deal with a new method
that gained much importance recently; the spin-coupled valence bond
method. Since the publication of Spin Eigenfunctions, nearly 20
years ago there have been many interesting developments in the
subject; there are quite a few new algorithms for the construction
of spin eigenfunctions. Moreover the use of the spin-coupled
valence bond method showed the importance of using different
constructions for the spin functions. The subject matter of this
book has been presented in a graduate course in the Technion. The
author is obliged to the graduate students Averbukh Vitali,
Gokhberg Kirill, and Narevicius Edvardas for many helpful
comments."
