This paper is the first in a series of two directed toward a unitary calculus for group‐function‐type approaches to the many‐electron correlation problem. In this paper we present a complete derivation of the matrix elements of the U ( n = n 1 + n 2 ) generators, for the representations approapriate to many‐electron systems, in a basis symmetry adapted to the subgroup U ( n 1 ) × U ( n 2 ). Explicit formulae for the fundamental U ( n ): U ( n 1 ) × U ( n 2 ) reduced Wigner coefficients, which are needed for the general multishell problem, are also obtained. The symmetry properties of the reduced Wigner coefficients and reduced matrix elements are investigated, and a suitable phase convention is given.
