We compare three attempts that have been made to decompose the angular momentum of the electromagnetic field into components of an "orbital" and "spin" nature. All three expressions are different and it appears, on the basis of classical…

The hyperspherical harmonics (HH) provide a complete basis for the expansion of atomic wave functions, but even for two particles the number of harmonics for a given order is not trivial and, as the number of electrons increases, this…
