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.

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 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.

Abstract This chapter discusses addition of angular momentum. This implies that it discusses how to build eigenstates of the total angular momentum and its projection from eigenstates of the individual angular momenta and their projections. It discusses Clebsh–Gordan coefficients.
