Scalar Product for Harmonic Functions of the Group SU(2)

A scalar product is defined which results in the single‐ and double‐valued spherical harmonics spanning a seminormed linear vector space that carries all of the irreducible unitary representations of the group SU(2). The possibility of defining such a scalar product was indicated in a previous paper...

Zusammenfassung:A scalar product is defined which results in the single‐ and double‐valued spherical harmonics spanning a seminormed linear vector space that carries all of the irreducible unitary representations of the group SU(2). The possibility of defining such a scalar product was indicated in a previous paper. A Hilbert space is derived from the seminormed space through a further construction involving equivalence classes of vectors.
