Elementary Treatment of Some Difficulties in the Construction of Irreducible Representations of the Rotation Group in Terms of Products of the Spin-1/2 Representation.
Daniels, J. M.
American Journal of Physics, v47 n5 p436-39 May 1979
Explains why failure to distinguish clearly between three concepts: a vector, its components, and its representatives, renders understanding of how the representations of the rotation group are constructed from products of the spin-half representation, difficult to comprehend. (Author/GA)
