Orbital Angular Momentum

Reinhold A. Bertlmann, Nicolai Friis

Abstract In this chapter we introduce the concept of orbital angular momentum into the mathematical language of quantum mechanics. We discuss the commutation relations of the corresponding operators and their roles as generators of rotations in the context of the theory of Lie groups and Lie algebras, focusing on the three-dimensional rotation group SO(3). We further examine how scalar and vector-valued operators transform under spatial rotations. We then turn to the derivation of the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the angular-momentum operators, for which we follow a dual approach in analogy to that employed for the harmonic oscillator in Chapter 5. Using both the algebraic ladder-operator method and an analytical method using spherical polar coordinates we discover the relevant azimuthal and magnetic quantum numbers and their relation to the spherical harmonics and the Legendre polynomials

Extension of KMS states and angular momentum

Guy Loupias, M. Mebkhout

We present a description of β-KMS equilibrium states with respect to some one-parameter subgroup of (T×R3) ⧠K, over an asymptotically Abelian algebra of observables (here T×R3 is the group of time and space translations and K a compact group acting on R3). In the case where K=SO(3), the group of space rotations, we get a characterization of the angular momentum of such states as a parameter occurring in their description, similar to the chemical potential, and classify all of them according to their invariance group, a closed subgroup of T×R×SO(2).
