Fermion Quasi-Spherical Harmonics
Spherical Harmonics, , are derived and presented (in a
Table) for half-odd-integer values of and . These functions are
eigenfunctions of and written as differential operators in the
spherical-polar angles, and . The Fermion Spherical Harmonics
are a new, scalar and angular-coordinate-dependent representation of fermion
spin angular momentum. They have symmetry in the angle , and hence
are not single-valued functions on the Euclidean unit sphere; they are
double-valued functions on the sphere, or alternatively are interpreted as
having a double-sphere as their domain.Comment: 16 pages, 2 Tables. Submitted to J.Phys.
