Equation 19 · Part 1 · A Reference Frame Becomes Classical by Publishing Its Orientation

Symbol U_R

URU_R
URU_R

What this part means

a unitary representation of G.

Its job in the formula

URU_R is a part of this expression. Its role is fixed by the surrounding article and by the operations shown in the formula.

Where the article explains it

e is the identity orientation, URU_R is a unitary representation of G , and ρR(e)\rho_R(e) is the chosen fiducial state.

The passage around this formula

This is a definition. e is the identity orientation, URU_R is a unitary representation of G , and ρR(e)\rho_R(e) is the chosen fiducial state. Nothing in the equation makes g absolute. Changing the reference frame by h changes the coordinate label and representation together.
