Analytical formula for numerical evaluations of the Wigner rotation matrices at high spins
2015
The Wigner d function, which is the essential part of an irreducible representation of SU(2) and SO(3) parameterized with Euler angles, has been know to suffer from a serious numerical errors at high spins, if it is calculated by means of the Wigner formula as a polynomial of cos and sin of half of the second Euler angle. This paper shows a way to avoid this problem by expressing the d functions as the Fourier series of the half angle. A precise numerical table of the coefficients of the series is obtainable from a web site.
