Show that the hamiltonian for spin-orbit coupling
Commutes with the quantum angular momentum squared, orbital angular momentum squared, and the spin angular momentum squared using the fact that commute with each other.
Consider a system of N spin 2 particles with allowed spin values −2,−1,0,1,2 for each particle. Compute the degeneracy factor for the case of zero total spin. Specialize to the case of N=10 for which compute the degeneracies for all possible total spin configurations. For each such configuration, draw a maximum of 10 representative examples.
