Hello,
Lets say I have three operators
[tex]k_3=\partial_\phi[/tex], [tex]k_1=\sin\phi\partial_\theta+\cot\theta\cos\phi\partial_\phi[/tex], [tex]k_2=\cos\phi\partial_\theta-\cot\theta\sin\phi\partial_\phi[/tex].
These operators satisfy the SO(3) commutation relations:
[tex][k_i,k_j]=\epsilon_{ijk}k_k[/tex]
How can I check to see if these three operators together form a 3-vector?
