The integral of three spherical harmonics on the sphere. In the conventional complex basis it is real and equals a product of two Wigner 3j symbols and (2ℓ1​+1)(2ℓ2​+1)(2ℓ3​+1)/(4π)​. It vanishes unless the multipoles satisfy a triangle condition, ℓ1​+ℓ2​+ℓ3​ is even, and m1​+m2​+m3​=0. It carries the angular geometry of the reduced CMB bispectrum.
