  • Theory of Angular Momentum and Spin
    Chapter 5 Theory of Angular Momentum and Spin Rotational symmetry transformations, the group SO(3) of the associated rotation matrices and the 1 corresponding transformation matrices of spin{ 2 states forming the group SU(2) occupy a very important position in physics. The reason is that these transformations and groups are closely tied to the properties of elementary particles, the building blocks of matter, but also to the properties of composite systems. Examples of the latter with particularly simple transformation properties are closed shell atoms, e.g., helium, neon, argon, the magic number nuclei like carbon, or the proton and the neutron made up of three quarks, all composite systems which appear spherical as far as their charge distribution is concerned. In this section we want to investigate how elementary and composite systems are described. To develop a systematic description of rotational properties of composite quantum systems the consideration of rotational transformations is the best starting point. As an illustration we will consider first rotational transformations acting on vectors ~r in 3-dimensional space, i.e., ~r R3, 2 we will then consider transformations of wavefunctions (~r) of single particles in R3, and finally N transformations of products of wavefunctions like j(~rj) which represent a system of N (spin- Qj=1 zero) particles in R3. We will also review below the well-known fact that spin states under rotations behave essentially identical to angular momentum states, i.e., we will find that the algebraic properties of operators governing spatial and spin rotation are identical and that the results derived for products of angular momentum states can be applied to products of spin states or a combination of angular momentum and spin states.

  • Lecture 2: Spectral Theorems
    Lecture 2: Spectral Theorems This lecture introduces normal matrices. The spectral theorem will inform us that normal matrices are exactly the unitarily diagonalizable matrices. As a consequence, we will deduce the classical spectral theorem for Hermitian matrices. The case of commuting families of matrices will also be studied. All of this corresponds to section 2.5 of the textbook. 1 Normal matrices Definition 1. A matrix A 2 Mn is called a normal matrix if AA∗ = A∗A: Observation: The set of normal matrices includes all the Hermitian matrices (A∗ = A), the skew-Hermitian matrices (A∗ = −A), and the unitary matrices (AA∗ = A∗A = I). It also " # " # 1 −1 1 1 contains other matrices, e.g. , but not all matrices, e.g. 1 1 0 1 Here is an alternate characterization of normal matrices. Theorem 2. A matrix A 2 Mn is normal iff ∗ n kAxk2 = kA xk2 for all x 2 C : n Proof. If A is normal, then for any x 2 C , 2 ∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ 2 kAxk2 = hAx; Axi = hx; A Axi = hx; AA xi = hA x; A xi = kA xk2: ∗ n n Conversely, suppose that kAxk = kA xk for all x 2 C . For any x; y 2 C and for λ 2 C with jλj = 1 chosen so that <(λhx; (A∗A − AA∗)yi) = jhx; (A∗A − AA∗)yij, we expand both sides of 2 ∗ 2 kA(λx + y)k2 = kA (λx + y)k2 to obtain 2 2 ∗ 2 ∗ 2 ∗ ∗ kAxk2 + kAyk2 + 2<(λhAx; Ayi) = kA xk2 + kA yk2 + 2<(λhA x; A yi): 2 ∗ 2 2 ∗ 2 Using the facts that kAxk2 = kA xk2 and kAyk2 = kA yk2, we derive 0 = <(λhAx; Ayi − λhA∗x; A∗yi) = <(λhx; A∗Ayi − λhx; AA∗yi) = <(λhx; (A∗A − AA∗)yi) = jhx; (A∗A − AA∗)yij: n ∗ ∗ n Since this is true for any x 2 C , we deduce (A A − AA )y = 0, which holds for any y 2 C , meaning that A∗A − AA∗ = 0, as desired.

  • Rotation Matrix - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Page 1 of 22
    Rotation matrix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 22 Rotation matrix From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In linear algebra, a rotation matrix is a matrix that is used to perform a rotation in Euclidean space. For example the matrix rotates points in the xy -Cartesian plane counterclockwise through an angle θ about the origin of the Cartesian coordinate system. To perform the rotation, the position of each point must be represented by a column vector v, containing the coordinates of the point. A rotated vector is obtained by using the matrix multiplication Rv (see below for details). In two and three dimensions, rotation matrices are among the simplest algebraic descriptions of rotations, and are used extensively for computations in geometry, physics, and computer graphics. Though most applications involve rotations in two or three dimensions, rotation matrices can be defined for n-dimensional space. Rotation matrices are always square, with real entries. Algebraically, a rotation matrix in n-dimensions is a n × n special orthogonal matrix, i.e. an orthogonal matrix whose determinant is 1: . The set of all rotation matrices forms a group, known as the rotation group or the special orthogonal group. It is a subset of the orthogonal group, which includes reflections and consists of all orthogonal matrices with determinant 1 or -1, and of the special linear group, which includes all volume-preserving transformations and consists of matrices with determinant 1.

The Op- penheim Conjecture. Let X Q(x1; : : : ; xn) = aijxixj 1≤i≤j≤n be a quadratic form in n variables. We always assume that Q is indefinite so that (so that there exists p with 1 ≤ p < n so that after a linear change of variables, Q can be expresses as: Xp Xn ∗ 2 − 2 Qp(y1; : : : ; yn) = yi yi i=1 i=p+1 We should think of the coefficients aij of Q as real numbers (not necessarily rational or integer). One can still ask what will happen if one substitutes integers for the xi. It is easy to see that if Q is a multiple of a form with rational coefficients, then the set of values Q(Zn) is a discrete subset of R. Much deeper is the following conjecture: Conjecture 1.1 (Oppenheim, 1929). Suppose Q is not proportional to a ra- tional form and n ≥ 5. Then Q(Zn) is dense in the real line. This conjecture was extended by Davenport to n ≥ 3. Theorem 1.2 (Margulis, 1986). The Oppenheim Conjecture is true as long as n ≥ 3. Thus, if n ≥ 3 and Q is not proportional to a rational form, then Q(Zn) is dense in R. This theorem is a triumph of ergodic theory. Before Margulis, the Oppenheim Conjecture was attacked by analytic number theory methods. (In particular it was known for n ≥ 21, and for diagonal forms with n ≥ 5).

    Linear Operators Hsiu-Hau Lin [email protected] (Mar 25, 2010) The notes cover linear operators and discuss linear independence of func- tions (Boas 3.7-3.8). • Linear operators An operator maps one thing into another. For instance, the ordinary func- tions are operators mapping numbers to numbers. A linear operator satisfies the properties, O(A + B) = O(A) + O(B);O(kA) = kO(A); (1) where k is a number. As we learned before, a matrix maps one vector into another. One also notices that M(r1 + r2) = Mr1 + Mr2;M(kr) = kMr: Thus, matrices are linear operators. • Orthogonal matrix The length of a vector remains invariant under rotations, ! ! x0 x x0 y0 = x y M T M : y0 y The constraint can be elegantly written down as a matrix equation, M T M = MM T = 1: (2) In other words, M T = M −1. For matrices satisfy the above constraint, they are called orthogonal matrices. Note that, for orthogonal matrices, computing inverse is as simple as taking transpose { an extremely helpful property for calculations. From the product theorem for the determinant, we immediately come to the conclusion det M = ±1. In two dimensions, any 2 × 2 orthogonal matrix with determinant 1 corresponds to a rotation, while any 2 × 2 orthogonal HedgeHog's notes (March 24, 2010) 2 matrix with determinant −1 corresponds to a reflection about a line. Let's come back to our good old friend { the rotation matrix, cos θ − sin θ ! cos θ sin θ ! R(θ) = ;RT = : (3) sin θ cos θ − sin θ cos θ It is straightforward to check that RT R = RRT = 1.

  • 7 Spectral Properties of Matrices
    7 Spectral Properties of Matrices 7.1 Introduction The existence of directions that are preserved by linear transformations (which are referred to as eigenvectors) has been discovered by L. Euler in his study of movements of rigid bodies. This work was continued by Lagrange, Cauchy, Fourier, and Hermite. The study of eigenvectors and eigenvalues acquired in- creasing significance through its applications in heat propagation and stability theory. Later, Hilbert initiated the study of eigenvalue in functional analysis (in the theory of integral operators). He introduced the terms of eigenvalue and eigenvector. The term eigenvalue is a German-English hybrid formed from the German word eigen which means “own” and the English word “value”. It is interesting that Cauchy referred to the same concept as characteristic value and the term characteristic polynomial of a matrix (which we introduce in Definition 7.1) was derived from this naming. We present the notions of geometric and algebraic multiplicities of eigen- values, examine properties of spectra of special matrices, discuss variational characterizations of spectra and the relationships between matrix norms and eigenvalues. We conclude this chapter with a section dedicated to singular values of matrices. 7.2 Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors Let A Cn×n be a square matrix. An eigenpair of A is a pair (λ, x) C (Cn∈ 0 ) such that Ax = λx. We refer to λ is an eigenvalue and to ∈x is× an eigenvector−{ } . The set of eigenvalues of A is the spectrum of A and will be denoted by spec(A). If (λ, x) is an eigenpair of A, the linear system Ax = λx has a non-trivial solution in x.

Moran Accepted for Ilya Spitkovsky, Director Charles Johnson Ryan Vinroot Donald Campbell Williamsburg, VA April 3, 2013 Abstract An n-by-n matrix A is called almost normal if the maximal cardinality of a set of orthogonal eigenvectors is at least n−1. We give several basic properties of almost normal matrices, in addition to studying their numerical ranges and Aluthge transforms. First, a criterion for these matrices to be unitarily irreducible is established, in addition to a criterion for A∗ to be almost normal and a formula for the rank of the self commutator of A. We then show that unitarily irreducible almost normal matrices cannot have flat portions on the boundary of their numerical ranges and that the Aluthge transform of A is never normal when n > 2 and A is unitarily irreducible and invertible.

  • 2 Rotation Kinematics
    2 Rotation Kinematics Consider a rigid body with a fixed point. Rotation about the fixed point is the only possible motion of the body. We represent the rigid body by a body coordinate frame B, that rotates in another coordinate frame G, as is shown in Figure 2.1. We develop a rotation calculus based on trans- formation matrices to determine the orientation of B in G, and relate the coordinates of a body point P in both frames.

If the rigid body B rotates α degrees about the Z-axis of the global coordi- nate frame, then coordinates of any point P of the rigid body in the local and global coordinate frames are related by the following equation G B r = QZ,α r (2.1) R.N.
