Description

Transformation to a body fixed reference frame and direct projection of angular momentum quantum numbers are alternative ways to account for rotational invariance of a many-body Hamiltonian. Both procedures are illustrated by comparing the Born-Huang and the generator coordinate treatment of a diatomic system. (author)
