Fermion States on the Sphere $S^2$

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

We solve for the spectrum and eigenfunctions of Dirac operator on the sphere. The eigenvalues are nonzero whole numbers. The eigenfunctions are two-component spinors which may be classified by representations of the SU(2) group with half-integer angular momenta. They are not the conventional spherical spinors but special linear combinations of those.
