in a spinorial basis jm (2j+1 dimensional)
A 3-d representation of of spinors is a family of cones.
This satisfies:
The cone has an x-y length of and a hypoteneuse length of
Relation to in coordinate space:
You can represent in and
Since Then use lowering operator to get other .
For rotation of an wavefunction, .
Rotations generated by total angular momentum: for the pauli spin
matrices. This means . For electrons , commute with everything,
so CSCO is . This means a general eigenfunction is . and . . rotating
about you get
