Addition of arbitrary number of identical angular momenta

Abstract

An alternate method is used to establish the analytic expression recently given and incompletely proved by Mikhailov (see ibid., vol.10, p.147 (1977)) for the multiplicity of occurrence of any angular momentum in the vector addition of n identical angular momenta.

Addition or arbitrary number of identical angular momenta

V V Mihailov

Under the vector addition of angular momenta, each equal to s, the resulting angular momentaj occur with some multiplicity. The general formula for these multiplicities is obtained by a simple algebraic method. In the case of s=1/2 the expression proves to be a well known one. Also given are some relations connected with the multiplicities.

Simple derivation of the vector addition coefficients

Ole Ulfbeck

Two simple operators are constructed in the product space of two angular momenta. Powers of the operators, when acting on selected product vectors, produce vectors with definite total angular momentum and thereby directly yield the vector addition coefficients in a symmetric form.

Addition of a large number of identical angular momenta. Statistical distributions

V V Mikhailov

The quantum mechanical addition of an arbitrary (very large) number of identical angular momenta is considered. The resulting states jm usually occur many times. The corresponding multiplicities P j and Q m are investigated. Several explicit formulae for Q m are given. The asymptotic approximations for multiplicities P j and Q m , which are the Wigner and Gauss distributions respectively, are derived. All parameters of the distributions are explicitly obtained. A comparison of theoretical multiplicities with the exact ones is made when the number of angular moments is relatively small.
