Quasi-Spherical harmonics, Y m ℓ (θ, φ) are derived and presented for half-odd-integer values of ℓ and m. The form of the φ factor is identical to that in the case of integer ℓ and m: exp (imφ). However, the domain of these functions in the half-odd-integer case is 0≤φ<4π rather than the domain 0≤φ<2π in the case of integer ℓ and m (the true spherical harmonics). The form of the θ factor, P |m| ℓ (θ) (an associated Legendre function) is (as in the integer case) the factor (sin θ) |m| multiplied by a polynomial in cos θ of degree (ℓ−|m|) (an associated Legendre polynomial). A substantial difference between the spherical (integer ℓ and m) and quasi-spherical (half-odd-integer ℓ and m) Legendre functions is that the latter have an irrational factor of √ sin θ whereas the factor of the truly spherical functions is an integer power of sin θ. The domain of both the true and quasi spherical associated Legendre functions is the same: 0≤θ<π. A table of the Associated Legendre Functions is presented for both integer and half-odd-integer values of ℓ and m, for |m| = 0, 1 2 , 1 . . . 11 2 , and for (ℓ−|m|) = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. The table displays the similarity between the functions for integer ℓ and m (which are well known) and those for half-odd-integer ℓ and m (which have not been recognized previously).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
