Infinity symbol symbol is encoded in Unicode at and in LaTeX as codice_1: formula_4. The Unicode set of symbols also includes several variant forms of the infinity symbol, that are less frequently available in fonts: , and in block Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-B. The acid-free paper symbol mentioned above is encoded separately as . Infinity symbol The infinity symbol (sometimes called the lemniscate) is a mathematical symbol representing the concept of infinity. The shape of a sideways figure eight has a long pedigree; for instance, it appears in the cross of Saint Boniface, wrapped around the bars of a Latin cross. However, John
Spin (physics) state and a spin-4 particle should be rotated 90 degrees to bring it back to the same quantum state. The spin-2 particle can be analogous to a straight stick that looks the same even after it is rotated 180 degrees and a spin 0 particle can be imagined as sphere, which looks the same after whatever angle it is turned through. Spin obeys commutation relations analogous to those of the orbital angular momentum: where is the Levi-Civita symbol. It follows (as with angular momentum) that the eigenvectors of and (expressed as kets in the total basis) are: The spin raising
