Highest-weight complex-coordinate orbital wavefunction
ID: highest-weight-complex-coordinate-orbital-wavefunction
For a differentiable radial factor and integer , the coordinate polynomial obeys and . The identity gives the displayed angular eigenvalue. Lowering gives , a nonzero eigenfunction with the same angular eigenvalue when and the original state is nonzero. At lowering gives the zero function, which is not an eigenfunction. Negative powers satisfy local differential identities off the axis but are not regular angular states.
