On three-dimensional rotational averages
Open accessAbstract
In theories which describe the response of freely rotating molecules to externally imposed stimuli it is frequently necessary to average rotationally a product of direction cosines relating space-fixed and molecular coordinate frames. In this paper a systematic method for deriving the required tensor averages is presented, and results up to the seventh rank are explicitly shown. Where appropriate both reducible and irreducible expressions are given and their equivalence is demonstrated. Finally, some useful identities relating rotational averages of different ranks are noted.

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.
