... a four-vector. In a similar way, we find that the four quantities (η † η, −η † σ i η) transform as a four-vector under rotations and boosts. A true four-vector should also transform under parity transformations in the same way as the coordinates, that is (t, xi ) → (t, −xi ). From the two potential f ...

... That’s a plausible expectation value. It’s neither h̄/2 nor −h̄/2, which means that this is not a definite state for x spin. That’s good, because the state is clearly not the same as |+xi when you write out that state in terms of |+zi and |−zi. It’s between those two. However, from just looking at t ...

It follows that Spin(n) is the group of all continuous rotation paths, up to homotopy, of a rigid body with a point fixed. So we have a complete description, ...
