Spin-s Spherical Harmonics and ð

Abstract

Recent work on the Bondi-Metzner-Sachs group introduced a class of functions sYlm(θ, φ) defined on the sphere and a related differential operator ð. In this paper the sYlm are related to the representation matrices of the rotation group R3 and the properties of ð are derived from its relationship to an angular-momentum raising operator. The relationship of the sTlm(θ, φ) to the spherical harmonics of R4 is also indicated. Finally using the relationship of the Lorentz group to the conformal group of the sphere, the behavior of the sTlm under this latter group is shown to realize a representation of the Lorentz group.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
