Spin-weighted Spherical Harmonics - Relation To Wigner Rotation Matrices

Relation To Wigner Rotation Matrices

$D^\ell_{-m s}(\phi,\theta,-\psi) =(-1)^m \sqrt\frac{4\pi}{2\ell+1} {}_sY_{\ell m}(\theta,\phi) e^{is\psi}$

This relation allows the spin harmonics to be calculated using recursion relations for the D-matrices.

Famous quotes containing the words relation to, relation and/or rotation:

“The whole point of Camp is to dethrone the serious. Camp is playful, anti-serious. More precisely, Camp involves a new, more complex relation to “the serious.” One can be serious about the frivolous, frivolous about the serious.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

“Parents ought, through their own behavior and the values by which they live, to provide direction for their children. But they need to rid themselves of the idea that there are surefire methods which, when well applied, will produce certain predictable results. Whatever we do with and for our children ought to flow from our understanding of and our feelings for the particular situation and the relation we wish to exist between us and our child.”
—Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)

“The lazy manage to keep up with the earth’s rotation just as well as the industrious.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
