Abstract
A novel type oi Symmetry structure, which we call ‘partial dynamical symmetry’,
is discussed. A general algorithm is presented to canstrun Hamiltonians with such symmetry, for any semisimple group. These Hamiltonians are not invariant under that group, and various irreducible representations are mixed in their eigenstatcs. However, they possess a subset of eigenstates which do have good symmetry and can therefore be labelled by the irreducible representations of that group. The eigenvalues and wavefunctions of these states are given in closed form. An example of a Hamiltonian with a partial SU(3) symmetry is provided.
