Abstract

This is the third part of our series "Quasiclassical and Quantum Systems of Angular Momentum". In two previous parts we have discussed the methods of group algebras in formulation of quantum mechanics and certain quasiclassical problems. Below we specify to the special case of the group SU(2){\rm SU}(2) and its quotient SO(3,R){\rm SO}(3,\mathbb{R}), and discuss just our main subject in this series, i.e., angular momentum problems. To be more precise, this is the purely SU(2){\rm SU}(2)-treatment, so formally this might also apply to isospin. However. it is rather hard to imagine realistic quasiclassical isospin problems.
