Some properties of Wigner coefficients and hyperspherical harmonics

Author(s):  
A. P. Stone

ABSTRACTGeneral shift operators for angular momentum are obtained and applied to find closed expressions for some Wigner coefficients occurring in a transformation between two equivalent representations of the four-dimensional rotation group. The transformation gives rise to analytical relations between hyperspherical harmonics in a four-dimensional Euclidean space.

1. Introduction. We consider the group of proper orthogonal transformations (rotations) in three-dimensional Euclidean space, represented by real orthogonal matrices (aik) (i, k = 1,2,3) with determinant + 1 . It is known that this rotation group contains free (non-abelian) subgroups; in fact Hausdorff (5) showed how to find two rotations P and Q generating a group with only two non-trivial relationsP2 = Q3 = I.

A model invariant under a supersymmetric extension of the rotation group 0(3) is mapped, using a stereographic projection, from the spherical surface S2 to two-dimensional Euclidean space. The resulting model is not translation invariant. This has the consequence that fields that are supersymmetric partners no longer have a degenerate mass. This degeneracy is restored once the radius of S2 goes to infinity, and the resulting supersymmetry transformation for the fields is now mass dependent. An analogous model on the surface S4 is introduced and its projection onto four-dimensional Euclidean space is examined. This model in turn suggests a supersymmetric model on (3 + 1)-dimensional Minkowski space.

Abstract We give a characterization of all those groups of isometric transformations of a finite-dimensional Euclidean space, for which an analogue of the classical Vitali theorem [Sul problema della misura dei gruppi di punti di una retta, 1905] holds true. This characterization is formulated in purely geometrical terms.

1. A type of problem which frequently occurs in probability theory and statistics can be formulated in the following way. We are given real-valued functions f(x), gi(x) (i = 1, 2, …, k) on a space (typically finite-dimensional Euclidean space). Then the problem is to set bounds for Ef(X), where X is a random variable taking values in , about which all we know is the values of Egi(X). For example, we might wish to set bounds for P(X > a), where X is a real random variable with some of its moments given.

We study a parametric class of isotropic but not necessarily stationary Poisson hyperplane tessellations in n-dimensional Euclidean space. Our focus is on the volume of the zero cell, i.e. the cell containing the origin. As a main result, we obtain an explicit formula for the variance of the volume of the zero cell in arbitrary dimensions. From this formula we deduce the asymptotic behaviour of the volume of the zero cell as the dimension goes to ∞.

Given a set of s points and a set of n2 lines in three-dimensional Euclidean space such that each line is incident to n points but no n lines are coplanar, we show that s = Ω(n11/4). This is the first non-trivial answer to a question recently posed by Jean Bourgain.
