Raising and Lowering operators of spin-weighted spheroidal harmonics

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

In this paper we generalize the spin-raising and lowering operators of spin-weighted spherical harmonics to linear-in-γγ spin-weighted spheroidal harmonics where γγ is an additional parameter present in the second order ordinary differential equation governing these harmonics. One can then generalize these operators to higher powers in γγ. Constructing these operators required calculating the ℓ\ell-, ss- and mm-raising and lowering operators (and various combinations of them) of spin-weighted spherical harmonics which have been calculated and shown explicitly in this paper.
