Abstract
A new method is developed for picking a given irreducible representation of the permutation group out of the product of many representations. It is then used to construct three-pion wave functions of arbitrary spin and parity. Applications of the method to three-fermion systems are briefly described. The essence of the method is to represent the two-dimensional representation of as a "complex number" in an Argand diagram; because the action of involves simple rotations and reflections in the diagram, the behavior of products of many two-dimensional representations is easy to analyze.
