AbstractLet A, B denote binary forms of order d, and let 2r−1 = (A, B)2r−1 be the sequence of their linear combinants for $1 \le r \le \lfloor\frac{d+1}{2}\rfloor$. It is known that 1, 3 together determine the pencil {A + λ B}λ∈P1 and hence indirectly the higher combinants 2r−1. In this paper we exhibit explicit formulae for all r ≥ 3, which allow us to recover 2r−1 from the knowledge of 1 and 3. The calculations make use of the symbolic method in classical invariant theory, as well as the quantum theory of angular momentum. Our theorem pertains to the plethysm representation ∧2Sd for the group SL2. We give an example for the group SL3 to show that such a result may hold for other categories of representations.
