Spin-one half-turn matrix

In the ordered
spin
-one
basis
(
m
=
1
,
0
,
−
1
)
, the
second
angular momentum operator
satisfies
J
2
3
=
J
2
. Therefore its
matrix exponential
reduces to
I
−
i
sin
θ
J
2
+
(
cos
θ
−
1
)
J
2
2
.
A
half-turn exchanges the two outer
weights
and negates the middle
weight
. Applied to the
pion
isospin
triplet, this fixes the
rotation
factor in
G parity
.
