Errata for Taylor-Woodward

As pointed out to us by Francesco Costantino:

(1) There are sequences of 6j symbols obtained by re-scaling with infinitely many zeroes, so that the definition of convergence does not make sense.

In this case, the definition of asymptotic convergence may be replaced with the following: We say that two functions f,g of a positive integer k are asympotically convergent if and only if f(k) - g(k) is o(1/k)f(k), or equivalently, f(k) - g(k) is o(1/k) g(k).

The main result of the paper shows something stronger, namely if f and g denote the 6j symbols and asymptotic formula respectively, then f(k) - g(k) is o(k^{-2}), whereas f(k) goes like k^{-3/2}. Thus, the statement and proof in this caes are the same.

(2) A sign is missing in Schlafli's formula (or alternatively, the dihedral angles should be interior.)
