    The authors deal with the multiplicity problem, when an irreducible representation occurs more than once in the direct sum decomposition of tensor products of group representations, for \(U(N)\). They study the subspace of invariants of the space of \(r\)-fold tensor products of \(U(N)\) irreps augmented by the dual representation of the representation of interest. A way not only of computing the multiplicity, but also of constructing an orthogonal basis by using the invariant subspace that labels the multiplicity, is suggested. Examples for \(N= 3\) are given.
