Thus, we do not need to do anything and + the proof is complete. +\end{proof} + +These proofs for the various orthogonality relations were quite long and +algebraically tedious, mainly because they are ``low level'', by which we mean +that they (arguably) do not rely on very abstract theory. However, if we allow +ourselves to use the more abstract Sturm Liouville theory discussed in chapters +\ref{buch:integrale:subsection:sturm-liouville-problem} and \kugeltodo{reference +to chapter 17 of haddouche and Löffler} the proofs can become ridiculously +short. Let's do for example lemma \ref{kugel:thm:associated-legendre-ortho}. + +\begin{proof}[ + Shorter proof of lemma \ref{kugel:thm:associated-legendre-ortho} + ] + The associated Legendre polynomials, of which we would like to prove an + orthogonality relation, are the solution to the associated Legendre equation, + which we can write as $LZ(z) = 0$, where + \begin{equation*} + L = \frac{d}{dz} (1 - z^2) \frac{d}{dz} + + n(n+1) - \frac{m^2}{1 - z^2}. + \end{equation*} + Notice that $L$ is in fact a Sturm-Liouville operator of the form + \begin{equation*} + L = \frac{1}{w(z)} \left[ + \frac{d}{dz} p(z) \frac{d}{dz} - \lambda + q(z) + \right], + \end{equation*} + if we let $w(z) = 1$, $p(z) = (1 - z^2 )$, $q(z) = -m^2 / (1 - z^2)$, and + $\lambda = -n(n+1)$.

In our case $\lambda$ + varies with $n$, so $P^m_n(z)$ with different $n$'s are orthogonal to each + other. +\end{proof} + +But that was still rather informative and had a bit of explanation, which is +terrible. Real snobs, such as Wikipedia contributors, some authors and +regrettably sometimes even ourselves, would write instead: + +\begin{proof}[ + Infuriatingly short proof of lemma \ref{kugel:thm:associated-legendre-ortho} + ] + The associated Legendre polynomials are solutions of the associated Legendre + equation which is a Sturm-Liouville problem and are thus orthogonal to each + other. The factor in front Kronecker delta is left as an exercise to the + reader. +\end{proof} + +Lemma \ref{kugel:thm:legendre-poly-ortho} has a very similar +proof, while the theorem \ref{kugel:thm:spherical-harmonics-ortho} for the +spherical harmonics is proved by the following argument. The spherical harmonics +are the solutions to the eigenvalue problem $\surflaplacian f = -\lambda f$, +which as discussed in the previous section is solved using separation. So to +prove their orthogonality using the Sturm-Liouville theory we argue that +\begin{equation*} + \surflaplacian = L_\vartheta L_\varphi \iff + \surflaplacian f(\vartheta, \varphi) + = L_\vartheta \Theta(\vartheta) L_\varphi \Phi(\varphi), +\end{equation*} +then we show that both $L_\vartheta$ and $L_\varphi$ are both Sturm-Liouville +operators (we just did the former in the shorter proof above). Since both are +Sturm-Liouville operators their combination, the surface spherical Laplacian, is +also a Sturm-Liouville operator, which then implies orthogonality. + +\subsection{Normalization and the Phase Factor} + +At this point we have shown that the spherical harmonics form an orthogonal +system, but in many applications we usually also want a normalization of some +kind. For example the most obvious desirable property could be for the spherical +harmonics to be ortho\emph{normal}, by which we mean that $\langle Y^m_n, +Y^{m'}_{n'} \rangle = \delta_{nn'}$. To obtain orthonormality, we simply add an +ugly normalization factor in front of the previous definition +\ref{kugel:def:spherical-harmonics} as follows. + +\begin{definition}[Orthonormal spherical harmonics] + \label{kugel:def:spherical-harmonics-orthonormal} + The functions + \begin{equation*} + Y^m_n(\vartheta, \varphi) + = \sqrt{\frac{2n + 1}{4\pi} \frac{(n-m)!}{(m+n)!}} + P^m_n(\cos \vartheta) e^{im\varphi} + \end{equation*} + where $m, n \in \mathbb{Z}$ and $|m| < n$ are the orthonormal spherical + harmonics. +\end{definition} + +Orthornomality is very useful, but it is not the only common normalization that +is found in the literature.

It is yet another +normalization that is added for physical reasons that are not very relevant to +our discussion, but we mention this potential source of confusion since many +numerical packages (such as \texttt{SHTOOLS} \kugeltodo{Reference}) offer an +option to add or remove it from the computation. + +Though, for our purposes we will mostly only need the orthonormal spherical +harmonics, so from now on, unless specified otherwise when we say spherical +harmonics or write $Y^m_n$, we mean the orthonormal spherical harmonics of +definition \ref{kugel:def:spherical-harmonics-orthonormal}. \subsection{Recurrence Relations} -\section{Series Expansions in $C(S^2)$} +\section{Series Expansions in $L^2(S^2)$} -\subsection{Orthogonality of $P_n$, $P^m_n$ and $Y^m_n$} +We have now reached a point were we have all of the tools that are necessary to +build something truly amazing: a general series expansion formula for functions +on the surface of the sphere.
