An ordinary scalar wavefunction assigns one complex amplitude to each physical configuration. In polar coordinates without an additional twisted boundary condition, the points and are identical, so the angular factor must be periodic. An angular eigenfunction therefore requires integer . This scalar orbital condition does not rule out half-integer intrinsic spin.
