Input Form





SphericalHarmonicY[-n, \[Mu], \[CurlyTheta], \[CurlyPhi]] == Sqrt[(1 - 2 n)/(4 Pi)] (Sqrt[Gamma[-n - \[Mu] + 1]]/ Sqrt[Gamma[-n + \[Mu] + 1]]) E^(I \[CurlyPhi] \[Mu]) ((Cos[\[CurlyTheta]/2]^2)^(\[Mu]/2)/(Sin[\[CurlyTheta]/2]^2)^(\[Mu]/2)) Sum[((Pochhammer[n, k] Pochhammer[1 - n, k])/(Gamma[1 - \[Mu] + k] k!)) Sin[\[CurlyTheta]/2]^(2 k), {k, 0, n - 1}] /; Element[n, Integers] && n > 0
