Abstract: (AIP)

The finite transformations in an arbitrary irreducible representation of the SU(3) group are obtained by considering the reduced matrix elements of the operator e −iνλ4 . The special case of ν = ½π is also worked out and shown to be in agreement with earlier derivations. Symmetry properties and addition theorems for the resulting matrix elements are explicitly stated. As a useful application of the method, the finite transformations of the Weyl subgroup on the basis vectors of an arbitrary irreducible representation of SU(3) are also given.
