Number of states with fixed angular momentum for identical fermions and bosons

Abstract

We present in this paper empirical formulas for the number of angular momentum I states for three and four identical fermions or bosons. In the cases with large I we prove that the number of states with the same M{\cal M} and n but different J is identical if I(n2)J1/2(n1)(n2)I \ge (n-2)J - {1/2} (n-1)(n-2) for fermions and I(n2)JI \ge (n-2)J for bosons, and that the number of states is also identical for the same M{\cal M} but different n and J if M{\cal M} \le min(n, 2J+1 - n) for fermions and for M{\cal M} \le min(n, 2J) for bosons. Here M=ImaxI{\cal M} =I_{max}-I, n is the particle number, and J refers to the angular momentum of a single-particle orbit for fermions, or the spin L carried by bosons.
