✦ Synopsis

Dispersion relations and sum rules are derived for the complex rotatory power of an arbitrary linear (nonmagnetic) isotropic medium showing natural optical activity. Both previously known dispersion relations and sum rules as well as new ones are obtained. It is shown that the Rosenfeld-Condon dispersion formula is inconsistent with the expected asymptotic behavior at high frequencies. A new dispersion formula based on quantum electrodynamics removes this inconsistency; however, it still requires modification in the low-frequency limit.

We investigate the effect of the compact Hilbert space associated to the spin degree of freedom on the Husimi distributions of a spin-boson system (maser model). In the classical limit, the phase space associated to such a degree of freedom is Iimited to a circle of radius ,,/% (J being the total sp
