| Nov 20, 2019 at 5:46 | comment | added | Ariana | normally we treat the associated legendre functions as polynomials that satisfies $\int_{-1}^1P^m_aP^m_b=C(m,a)\delta_{a,b}$ | |
| Nov 20, 2019 at 5:45 | comment | added | G. Smith | You are expecting an orthogonality relation that doesn’t hold. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… for the two relations that do hold. See how the two functions have to have the same $l$ or the same $m$? | |
